"Childproof the house" is the kind of job that stays on the mental list for months, too big and too vague to start. Yet most of it comes down to a small number of concrete fixes: anchor the furniture, gate the stairs, latch the cupboards, lock away the medicines. This page breaks the whole home into rooms, flags what matters most, and gives you a tick-box for each — so a hundred quiet worries become one calm walk-through.

Yes. Furniture and TV tip-overs are among the most serious home hazards for young children, and anti-tip straps are inexpensive and quick to fit. It's the single highest-value line on the checklist.
No. Every item here buys you seconds, not certainty. Supervision — especially around water and the kitchen — is still the thing that keeps a child safe. The checklist simply reduces how many things can go wrong while you look away for a moment.
