Feel safe at home

85 percent of all serious injuries that happen to the kids under two years old happen at home. The e-book has tips how to generally reduce home injuries for kids: install gates at the staircases, apply child safe devices at the power sockets and put decoration and plants out of reach.

Danger in harmful substances

Many dangers for kids are easy to detect. We can remove sharp scissors and knifes and detect objects that can fire easily, however it might be difficult to identify dangerous chemicals or harmful substances as they are invisible and difficult to be noticed by a human eye. For example, some objects at home can contain plasticizers or dyes such as aniline that are harmful to health. They can cause serious skin irritations. The e-book contains information about harmful substances in children’s clothes and provides helpful tips concerning chemicals in toys and care products. Whenever possible parent should always buy certified, non-toxic cloth, products from natural cosmetic manufacturers and inspected toys.
