What are the most common accidents in a home that can be avoided by childproofing?
Falls tend to be the most common and traumatic. They can be prevented by mounted gates at stair tops and bottoms and by installing window locks or guards. Screens are not childproofing devices, but many people still trust that the screen will keep the baby from falling out of an open window. This is not the case. A screen can be dislodged with a minimum of effort and the weight of even the smallest children can force it out of its frame.
