1) Consider a lock for the dish washer (so he can't reach unsafe items, like steak knives, that you might be washing) and refrigerator. 2) Consider using a wall anchor or safety strap for the stove and large pieces of furniture that can tip over. 3) Use a guard on bannisters and railings, especially if your younger child can fit through the rails. 4) Secure (keep out of reach of your child) your car keys and lock your car so that your children can't get locked in the car or the trunk.
