Keeping baby safe in the garden
Don’t let them out of your sight
Children aged 1-2 are at most risk in the garden but babies and toddlers of any age should never be left alone in the garden – not even for a minute while you grab the washing from the machine or answer the phone.
Never leave a baby or toddler on their own in the garden, especially when visiting friends who may not have child safety in mind at their homes.
Secure your garden
Take a walk around your garden and check the fencing or perimeter walls are secure and there are no sharp points or exposed nails that your child could catch themselves on. Ensure there’s nothing your toddler could climb onto as falls in the garden account for eight deaths per year for children under the age of four.
There will of course be corners and edges in your garden on steps and walls that are unavoidable but that doesn’t mean you can’t protect your toddler. Corner protectors and corner guards provide a protective cushion on sharp corners in the garden to help reduce the risk of an injury should your little one trip or fall.
