Travel Child Proofing Tips, Hacks, and Advice

It’s good to know that having some on-the-go child proofing travel tips and tricks up your sleeve can seriously enhance your travel experience , especially for kids under four.

We’ve pooled our collective travel records to share our favorite travel child proofing solutions. These are all easy – they’re portable, cheap, quick, or all of the above. Have fun!

First Things First

When you arrive at your hotel room or rental house, you want to do a general clean sweep of the space. Take note of how everything looks (you might even snap a few photos on your phone to help with this), and then start your work:

First, remove knick-knacks and breakables from surfaces and put them up in a closet or on a high shelf out of reach. You might even want to remove things like remotes, travel brochures, information cards, etc. — anything you don’t want your child to destroy should get put away out of reach.

My advice: don’t be shy with this step. I’ve done a lot of “redecorating” while traveling with two small children, and every minute spent doing so was well worth it . Even if there are things you forget to move back, don’t sweat it — an out-of-place lamp is better than a broken one! And everyone’s vacation is way more enjoyable when you’re not constantly yelling at your kiddos to leave things alone or prying delicates from their tiny fingers.

Entrances and Exits

The next step is to ascertain the door situation, as well as openings for any “special” features, like a fireplace, fire pit, hot tub, pool, etc. Make sure that your own room/home has locks that work , and check that things like pool gates or outdoor fences also lock. If there are any gaps, see what you can do to fix them closed as best as possible while you’re there. For homes, you can always bring door knob covers (effectively, locks ) along.

If you’re staying somewhere with a pool, be extra-vigilant — read up on keeping your baby/toddler safe near a pool ahead of time. There are some wearable or portable devices you can bring on vacation that may give you some extra peace of mind.

If you have an AirBNB or a rental home, and your child is staying in her own room, this is also a good time to check that door. Can your child accidentally lock herself in (this can easily happen with those twist door handle or push button locks)? Again, a simple door knob cover can help with this, and barely takes up any space in your suitcase.

Drawers/Cabinets

See also: The complete Drawer and Cabinet Locks review

If you’re staying anywhere with a kitchen or a sizable living space, there are probably going to be drawers and cabinets you’d like to keep your kiddo out of. There are several easy fixes:

Use rubber bands/elastics/hair ties to bind knobbed cabinet doors together; this works best for younger babes (compared to older toddlers).

Use dog collars from the dollar store (!) to bind cabinet doors with handles together (these are especially smart because you can adjust them in length!).

Use painter’s tape to “lock” cabinet doors together. Note that this is ideal for cabinets you don’t need to use frequently , but quite annoying for any spaces you plan on needing access to. Also, keep in mind that duct tape can leave residues and harm finishes, so painter’s tape is better. Another more “permanent” fix like this is a zip tie. (To do this: wrap the tape/zip tie around cabinet doors/handles/knobs multiple times.)

You can also just bring along some easy cabinet locks :

You could throw some kind of pole/stick through drawer handles (a tension rod, yardstick, a literal stick, etc.), like so (see below).
You can also use a long utensil, like a serving spoon or spatula, to keep drawers closed (two at a time).
for single drawers you won’t need access to often, you could use a sh*tload of painter’s tape to stick them closed.

Toddler Bed A La Mode

To create a makeshift toddler-safe bed, push a bed up against the wall, and then tuck pool noodles or pillows under the fitted mattress on the opposite (exposed) side of the bed — these act as a functional bed rail. Genius!

Or, you can place the mattress on the floor.

Little Sleepy Head Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed ~ $59

This portable inflatable toddler mattress makes sleeping at hotels and relatives’ houses more comfortable for everyone. It sits low to the ground and features security rails to keep your tot secure and comfortable all night. Comes with electric pump, mattress sheet and carrying bag.

If you have a crawler or an early (toddling) walker, you might want to bring along some corner guards to cushion coffee table edges or other corners.

Spout covers are easy enough to pack.

You can also purchase an inflatable baby bathtub to bring and blow up, depending on your packing space.

Travel Medicine Kit

Medicine rx safe travel bags ~ $24.

America’s poison control centers receive roughly half a million calls each year from accidental pharmaceutical exposures in children; the vast majority of these happen to children under 5. Nearly all of these are a result of unsupervised children getting into medication. Those colorful, delicious ibuprofens are so alluring! And so dangerous. Hopefully you keep your medicines in a safe place at home, but don’t get caught off guard when you travel.

Enter this childsafe Bag (pictured above); kids cannot get into it! This is the perfect place to keep your meds when you travel, or even at home. Also!! In our research, we found that grandparents are four times more likely than parents to keep prescription medicine in easy-access places. Please have a convo with your parents about keeping their medicines put away when your kids are visiting— or vice versa. [See also: Babyproofing for Grandparents ]

For me, this bag is a no-brainer. I have one for my meds and one for the kid’s emergency travel meds, like kid’s ibuprofen, kid’s Benadryl, cough medicine, etc. I use the whole thing as a travel kit with a thermometer, Band-Aids, etc., so everything’s in one place.

If your family travels frequently, we highly recommend keeping all of this stuff handy in a little bag. With a specific “travel kit,” you always have your items ready and never need to pilfer from your own child proofing stuff at home. In it, you should include:

Door knob covers
Cabinet locks (either traditional ones, or supplies for one of the other hacks we described above)
Painters tape
Set of corner guards
Outlet/plug covers

See also: The full Babyproofing Window Safety review

Use painters tape to hold any cord/blinds strings up out of reach.
Close and lock all windows that could pose a falling hazard — unfortunately there’s no “travel window lock,” but most (modern) accommodations will have locks (well, they should , anyways).
You know how most rental homes tend to have those really sheer window coverings that block about 2% of the light from the sun? These aren’t a babyproofing item per se, but we highly recommend these portable travel blackout shades — they make rooms dark in an instant so you at least have a chance of sleeping in! We don’t think the suction cups work very well, but you can use your handy-dandy painters tape to keep them in place. Helloooo, nap time!

Whew — OK. Happy travels! NOW you can kick back, relax, and enjoy the view.

Cheers, y’all! Now get out there and see the world ✈️.

GREAT practical suggestions!! We have our 15 month old granddaughter visiting from across the country and have been wondering the best way to temporarily child proof and this is very helpful! Thank you!

All great ideas! But what if the door handles are lever style?!?

I bought window stoppers for my daughter’s room recently that could work for travel–they’re suction cups with stoppers that prevent the window from being opened past a selected width. They were called Window Guardian Super Stopper and I got them on Amazon.

On-the-go Childproofing [Staying safe in your vacation place]

Keeping safe in your vacation place.

I dont know about anyone one else but the thought of taking my kids to the house of someone who doesn’t have kids practically gives me palpitations. There seem to be infinite ways they can get hurt or cause damage. So, when you leave your childproofed home to go on vacation, it’s prudent to plan for safety … and non destruction of property/your sanity.

Keep childproofing in mind from the beginning.

If you are booking a family vacation rental home, look for single story layouts. Staircases with gaps so large your kid can fall right through? No Thanks. After selecting a place, contact the owner and inform them that you will be traveling with small children and request that they remove and store any valuable items. As soon as you arrive, move anything breakable or poisonous outside of your little ones reach.

A few months ago, one of my worst case scenarios played out.

We had just spend a month in a beautiful vacation rental home in Ko’Olina . I was packing up our bags when all of the sudden I heard a crash. I found my 20 month old baby boy standing in a sea of glass. He had pushed one of the suitcases over to the table and while trying to touch the glass piece of art, accidentally knocked it over. Thankfully, he had only a few minor scratches and was otherwise unscathed. Now for the horrible part. Apparently, the item wasn’t just something that the owner picked up at HomeGoods to make the place look nice. It was a very expensive original piece by a world renewed artist. I was SO stressed out. I thought of all the options. Can I fix this? Should I offer to pay the deductible on an insurance claim? (High property values in Hawaii meant that would have been at least 8k) Can I buy a replacement? Does my lease protect me? In the end I decided I had to fess up to the owner and go from there. By some struck of insanely great luck, the owner was SO nice about it and didn’t charge us a thing! Turns out, she’s friends with the artist and he told her he would take care of it. Don’t count on that kind of luck. In this scenario I had done my due diligence and asked the owner to store anything valuable. She moved several items into storage. The things left out I simply moved up higher where my toddlers wouldn’t be able to reach.

Learn from my mistake and move items at least twice as high as your kid can reach in case they decide to get creative.

When you check into your hotel ask them to clear the mini-bar completely – or relocate items you plan to use to a higher area. Tiny, toy like, glasses filled with alcohol are the antithesis of childproofing. You can always call room service for mini-bar items later on.

Bring Child Locks.

There are 3 options; you can use the store bought kind or improvise with elastic hair ties. I prefer the hair ties because they take up less space in my bag. Buy them before you go and carry them with you. Look through photos of your rental home/hotel and see which types of locks would work for you.Child locks are especially convenient for longer stays in vacation rentals where you really want to make yourself at home.

Watch this video to see how I use hair ties to lock cabinets:

Don’t be afraid to rearrange furniture to suit your needs.

I’ve moved plenty of chairs and storage trunks around to block off bathroom access when the door doesn’t latch.

Baby Gates.

If you’ve rented a two story accommodation, or if you want to block off a portion of the house (kitchen, bathroom that doesn’t latch, etc.) baby gates are a great option. Most countries have amazon these days so you can order the gate ahead of time and have it waiting for you when you arrive. A local charity will appreciate the donation when you leave or you can ask the home owner if they’d like to keep it for future guests.

If you leave your child in the care of another, be sure to vet your sitters .

Despite the best childproofing, kids all over the world still get hurt and it wont be the destinations fault. We do what we can to minimise the risk for serious injury or expensive damage, the rest is just part of growing up. Remember that risks/danger is actually an essential part of child development. Playing in a new environment will only be benificial in the long run…. even if they get a few boo-boos along the way.

Complete Guide to Childproofing Your RV for Stress-free Camping

About the Author

Tom Davidock

Childproofing an RV is a unique challenge compared to a regular home, particularly when your child is in the walking and exploratory toddler years. From securing screen doors and steps to ensuring the safety of bunk beds, this guide offers practical solutions for common concerns in an RV setting. As a father of a little one, I know the importance of making an RV camping trip stress-free and safe for young ones. I have compiled some easy-to-implement tips and insights from my real-world experiences to transform your RV into a kid-friendly space.

For a quick summary with essential tips on childproofing your RV, consider these key points:

Secure Doors and Windows : Ensure all doors, including screen doors and windows, are secure to prevent accidental opening.
Safe Sleeping Areas : Modify bunk beds with appropriate railings and ensure cribs are safely installed.
Kitchen Safety : Use stove knob covers and secure drawers and cabinets with childproof latches.
Bathroom Safety : Keep medications and toiletries out of reach, and consider a non-slip mat in the shower.
General Safety : Cover sharp corners and edges, secure loose items during transit, and have a designated safe play area for toddlers.

Each tip is designed to make your RV a safer environment for children, especially toddlers who are exploring. For more detailed explanations and additional tips, keep reading.

RVing with a baby or kids older than five is pretty simple, aside from the normal everyday worries. However, the time between when your little one starts walking and through the exploratory toddler years can create a stressful situation for RV camping trips. Simple things that you may not have considered a problem, like screen doors, steps, bunk beds, etc., soon become a concern for your little one’s safety.

Luckily, you’re not the first person to go through this struggle. There are many simple steps that you can take to make your RV safer for your little camping buddies. To ensure that camping is fun and safe for the whole family, let’s look at some of the following tips to make your RV kid-friendly.

Bunk beds and sleeping

If you purchased an RV with kids in mind, the chances are that you opted for a bunk bed. Bunk RV floorplans are widely popular for family campers. However, the one thing nobody ever tells you about bunk beds is how to prevent your little one from rolling out of them. This can be one of the biggest challenges you face with a new RV and young kids.

It seems like some RV manufacturers go out of their way to make finding a solution to this concern near impossible. Luckily, some ingenious RVing parent have crafted up some great solutions to help you solve this problem.

Before we get into the solutions, I’ll share one tip: reserve the bottom bunk for the youngest kid and the top for the older, more sound sleeper. While you can craft top bunk solutions for toddlers, it’s much easier to reduce the risk of injury by confining them to the lower bunk. Here are some solutions:

Baby Gate Option

If you’re lucky enough to have two solid sides marking the entrance to the bunk bed, a really easy solution is to bring along your traditional baby gate (or purchase one for the RV) and secure it in the bunk bed opening when you put your kid to bed. Baby gates are probably the easiest solution if you have the right bunk setup.

However, many RVers have a challenging corner bunk setup. The problem is that the opening is at an angle, and it’s almost impossible to secure a tension-style baby gate. However, you can get a little creative by flipping the baby gate 90 degrees and installing it with the tension ends on the top and bottom of the bunk. Voilà! You now have a secure barrier between the bunk bed and a drop to the floor.

Retractable gate solution

Like the baby gate, you can use a retractable gate to keep your little one secured in the bunk. These gates get mounted to the wall with screws, but they make opening and closing the barrier super easy and provide quick access to the bunk area. They’re also usually made from mesh, so the bunk bed won’t look and feel like a mini jail. On a corner bunk, you can usually mount these on the flat wall on the interior of the bunk. Even though the opening may be at an angle, it shouldn’t be a problem because the gate is flexible.

Bedrail Guards

Another popular solution is to install a regular bed guard. With some bunk setups, you may find that the guard is too long for your opening. Be sure to measure the opening and guard. You may also be able to purchase a wooden guard, and you can cut it down to size to accommodate the opening to the bunk bed.

Pregnancy pillow

This pillow is an easy solution and one that may work well if your main concern is your little one rolling out of bed while they sleep. You may even have a big, curved pregnancy pillow at home. These pillows make great barriers, preventing your child from rolling out of bed. They’re curved, so you can easily get them to block the bunk opening while still secure enough to prevent your child from pushing it out while they sleep. We used this solution for my daughter, and it worked great.

Also, if you’re little one isn’t ready for a bed, a pack and play makes a great temporary bed for your toddler. If a pack and play is just too big, there are smaller solutions that you can purchase online such as portable cribs, inflatable mattresses, etc. Below are a few good examples.

Screen Doors and steps

If you thought about this concern before buying your RV or having a new baby, then congratulations. Unfortunately, most RVing parents discover this problem the first time they catch their toddler leaning against the screen door as they run over in a panic, trying to prevent them from opening it.

The screen door was one of the things that I never considered as a potential safety issue for my daughter. Luckily, several good solutions exist to keep your screen door open and kid in the RV. The great thing is that some of these solutions also double as pet protectors, preventing your furry friend from escaping out the front door. Here are some solutions:

Stairs safety handle latch

Here’s an easy solution for curious toddlers if you have a security handle for your RV steps. After opening the main door, simply reach through the slide opening and pull the handle into your tow/drive position. This setup will position the handle so the screen door won’t open. In addition, it adds a little extra security preventing small kids from inadvertently pushing through the screen door and tumbling down the steps. You can install an aftermarket handle if you don’t have one.

Lippert Screen Defender RV Entry Door Screen Protector

The Lippert Screen Defende r is a great product inspired by RV pet owners. It’s also a great option for parents who want to childproof the screen door. For small kids, I also suggested adding an extra latch. The Screen Defender Entry Door Screen Protector is a black, powder-coated aluminum screen that helps ensure your pet and kids can’t damage or break through your existing entry screen door. It’s available in different sizes to fit pretty much any RV screen door.

Perma Child Retractable Safety Gate

The Perma Child Retractable Baby Gate is a great solution that is there when you need it but hidden when you don’t. This barrier was a great solution for my young daughter when she was too small to be trusted by the screen door. The one thing that you need to be aware of before installing this is to ensure that you have two opposing verticle surfaces where you can install it. We were able to install it against the interior wall and cabinet without a problem. The retractable gate is 33 inches long and can extend up to 71 inches. It’s also a great option for keeping pets away from the front door.

Cabinets and drawers

For the most part, cabinets and drawers are less concerning in an RV than in a house. This is partly because most cabinets and appliances are securely attached to the walls. The drawers and cabinets will likely have hardware that requires extra force to open them, keeping them more secure for traveling.

However, if you have some areas of concern and want to child-proof them, simply pick up some kid-proof cabinet locks that you would use at your residential home. The added benefit is that they will also double as an added safety latch when you’re traveling. You may even choose to add them to an overhead cabinet for this reason. Security latches will give you peace of mind as your child navigates that RV.

Outlets and plugs

Keeping little hands and fingers away from electrical outlets is no different in an RV than at home. Luckily, RVs have much fewer outlets to worry about. However, childproofing them is always a good idea. While you don’t need to go overboard with this, a good strategy is to locate the most accessible outlets for your toddler and simply use safety plug s or outlet covers. For example, in my travel trailer, only a handful of outlets were within my daughter’s reach.

Sinks and showers/tubs

You may have realized after using your RV that hot water is a precious resource if you have a standard water heater. However, the water can get pretty hot when running only the hot faucet. Most traditional RV water heaters will have a single setting. If you’re lucky, you may have a model that allows you to adjust the water temperature.

The hot water can be a concern when camping with young children, especially if it’s hot enough to cause scalding. While most people simply run a hot and cold water mix to get the right temperature, parents need to worry about young kids turning on just the hot. So, if you can’t adjust the temperature on the water heater, what should you do?

One simple option is to use your bypass valve (the one you close when winterizing your camper) to allow a little cold water to mix with the hot. Simply open the bypass valve just slightly, which will serve as a homemade mixing valve. First, you’ll want to test the water to ensure it’s still hot enough. Then, you make small adjustments to find the right temperature. You may also be able to install an adjustable thermostat.

If you don’t want to use the mixing valve method and want to keep your hot water hot, you’ll need to teach your kids how to adjust the cold and hot water together and spend more time monitoring them when they are taking charge of the water. Luckily, this is a short-lived problem, and as your little one grows, so will their experience with using the water. However, it’s always really important for parents to take control when it’s bath or shower time since it’s much easier to get scalded with the larger faucet.

Another thing that you may want to purchase is a toilet latch. Kids love water, but you don’t want them to create their own water playtime activities in the toilet- Yuck!

Switches and controls

If there’s a button to press, a curious toddler will want to press it. In addition to talking with your kids and informing them that the control center is off-limits, you can also purchase and install a control cover. While this may not be necessary for most parents, extra-curious kids may benefit from this added barrier. You don’t want to be watching TV while your toddler is retracting the slide.

Oven lock and stove

Just like at home, you want to practice kitchen safety in the RV. A must-have is an oven latch if your kid likes to pull on things as they maneuver around the RV. The other item that I highly suggest for all RVing parents is to purchase some child-proof knob covers for your RV stove. One of my biggest fears was having my toddler accidentally turn on the propane stove.

One of the best parts of camping is the campfire. Before having kids, it’s a relatively fun and relaxing experience. However, introduce a rambunctious two-year-old, and a stressful experience quickly replaces that relaxing atmosphere. Some parents may abandon the idea of a campfire altogether when they’re constantly worried about their little one getting too close or tripping into the fire. This is even true for older kids if they’re not familiar with campfire safety rules.

Fortunately, you can set up a safe campfire for the entire family with a little work. The first and most important tip is teaching your little one campfire safety. You may think they’re too young to understand, but even a toddler will pick it up quickly. Now is also a good opportunity to use your “I mean business” voice. Take some time to talk with them about fire and how it can cause a very big and painful boo-boo. You should plan to have this conversation before leaving for your trip, not as the campfire is going.

Kids are curious, and they like to push limits. However, this is one time where parents need to have firm boundaries. Practice with them what they can and can’t do around a fire. A great way to focus this conversation is to start with a few simple questions to make sure they understand the rules:

Can you run around a campfire? No. Only walking at the campsite when there’s a fire.
Can you go to the campfire by yourself? No, when by the campfire, you need to be with mommy/daddy at all times.
Can you throw things into the fire? No, only grownups can add wood to the fire

It’s important to have this conversation multiple times. You should start at home, but you should repeat it when you get to the campsite (with no campfire) and then have it again when the fire is being built. With small children, repetition is very important.

In addition to talking with your child about campfire safety, there are other things that you can do to make the campfire area safer for everyone. Here are a few helpful tips:

Keep the campfire free of tripping hazards: You should keep an open space all around your campfire, so if someone walks near it, they can’t accidentally trip on something and potentially fall into it. This includes wood, kindling, chairs, etc.

Keep chairs back from the fire ring : Make sure that you model a safe distance from the campfire. With kids, I like to make sure that everyone has their own chair and that it’s back far enough from the fire that they can kick it, reach it, or feel the need to play with it.

Share supervision: Whenever your fire is going, there should always be an adult supervising the kids around the fire. It can be stressful, especially with younger kids new to camping . However, this job shouldn’t fall to just one person. Take turns with your partner. Always check with them when you’re getting up from the campfire or switching supervising duties.

Get long roasting sticks : If you’re planning to roast marshmallows, plan ahead and get some long sticks for the kids. You can even purchase some inexpensive extendable roasting sticks on Amazon for under $10. The further back from the flames that you can keep those little hands, the safer it will be.

Finally, remember that this stressful period doesn’t last forever. With each camping trip and new campfire , your little one will get better adjusted to campfire safety rules. It’s also wise to start teaching them early rather than simply avoiding the activity. Before you know it, you’ll have a little helper working with you to build a fire and teach others about being safe. Campfires are a great option for unwinding and having some quality time together as a family.

Car and traffic safety

The RV park can be an extremely fun place for young kids. However, depending on your child’s age, one of your top concerns may be keeping them safe outside at the campsite. As an adult, you may not have given a second thought to the cars driving through the campsite, the neighbors backing in their large fifth wheels, or golf carts zipping around. Some of the most dangerous areas at the campsite can be the edge of your site where it meets the road. While most RV parks have speed limits in place, not everyone abides by them. Also, large RVs may have a harder time seeing your little ones if they run out in from of them.

When my daughter was really little, one of the first things we did was talk about safety on the roads. We stressed, over and over, that she was not allowed near the road without an adult. We worked with her to define the areas where she could play but clearly marked the areas that are off-limits. Since every campsite is a little different, it’s a good idea to have the same conversation at the start of every trip. Also, remind them that if a ball or anything else goes out on the road, they need to get an adult to retrieve it.

Off-limit areas around the RV

Just like setting boundaries for the road, you’ll want to do the same for the RV. Kids love to explore, and explore they will. However, let them know where it’s safe to explore and where it isn’t. One place you’ll want to keep your curious kids out of is under the RV. While it’s extremely rare, an RV can shift if it’s not properly secured. You don’t want little hands and feet near tires or other moving parts of the RV.

Also, if you have a towable RV, you want to keep them away from the tongue jack. In fact, I suggest purchasing a jack cover to prevent little fingers from exploring the power switch of the jack. Likewise, you will want to limit your kid to the front side of the RV. The backside, in addition to being in your neighbor’s areas, is full of enticing pulls, buttons, and other gadgets used to connect your RV water, sewer, and electricity.

I like to set up a kid play area, which has all of their outdoor toys, and fun activities, and is out of the way from dangerous areas. A Picnic table makes a great home base for your kids (and you can usually move it where you want).

Setting up your RV

When I get to the campsite, the rule is always that my daughter stays in the tow vehicle until the camper is ready. I don’t want her around a moving vehicle while I back it in, and I also don’t want her around the RV until it is completely secured. While it’s easy to want to give in to an excited kid after a long RV road trip, this is one time that my Dad Voice comes out when camping. This is a good time to break out the iPad to keep them entertained.

Also, once I get the RV secured, I usually try to do a short walk around and through the RV, checking for anything that may have shifted when traveling. Make sure that all unsecured items are in a safe place. Also, check to make sure that no sharp objects shift to a place that’s within reach of your toddler.

Other Kid-friendly ideas

Install night lights : A little extra light around the RV at night is helpful for kids if they need to navigate to the bathroom or your bedroom. Since the RV may be new to your little one, an easy way to make it safer for them is to install a few plug-in night lights in strategic areas.

Uigos LED Night Light Lamp with Smart Sensor (6 pack)

High Chairs and baby seats : Rather than lugging around a high chair, consider purchasing one that attaches to the table . This option is the best way to save space but also have a way for your kids to sit at the dinette or picnic table for family meals.

Hook On Chair, Clip on High Chair, Portable Baby Feeding Seat

Pad sharp edges : RVs aren’t built with many safety features for kids. There are many areas for your small kids to trip, bump their heads, or get cuts and scrapes. If you have any sharp edges around your RV, it’s a good idea to pad them with some foam. Some common areas to check to are the edges of the beds and cabinets in the RVs interior and around doors and steps outside the RV. Pool noodles are great tools for getting a little extra padding.

By following some of the simple tips for child-proofing your RV, you can make your RV adventures fun and safe for the whole family. RVing shouldn’t be stressful, but it can be unless you take some steps to keep your kids safe. Before you even begin to make your travel plans, begin prepping your RV for camping for kids. You may need to purchase some additional supplies and have a game plan for the most important things when it comes to child safety.

Child, Photograph, Pink, Floor, Toddler, Skin, Beauty, Product, Snapshot, Flooring,

Follow these rules of thumb for every room in your home:

Cover outlets and power strips.
Use door handle covers or latches to keep toddlers from opening doors they shouldn't.
Gate off any areas that might be unsafe, including stairs.
Store breakable items up high and heavy items down low.
Anchor heavy furniture to minimize the chances of tip-over accidents.
Install window guards. Injuries from falling out of windows can happen on any floor of the house, not just the upper floors.

KidCo Universal Outlet Cover

These outlet covers automatically conceal outlets when they're not being used so kids can't stick their fingers in the sockets. But don't worry, they're easy for parents to access when they need to.

Wiremold Cord Cover CordMate II

Tuck cords into these covers to keep little ones from pulling on them or getting tangled up in them. Bonus: This child-proofing product actually makes your house look neater, too!

Door Knob Covers

These door knob covers are easy for adults to use (and install and remove), but are hard for little hands to open, which will help keep them out of closets and other rooms that are off limits.

North States Supergate Easy Close Gate

Testers loved this tension-mounted gate because it can be opened with one hand, and closes by itself — in other words, it's perfect for all those times you've got your hands full.

Skyla Homes Furniture and TV Anti-Tip Straps

Unsteady furniture can be super unsafe. Protect your kids by using anti-tip brackets, braces, or wall straps, like these from Skyla home, to secure furniture to the wall. You can also install stops on dresser drawers to keep them from being pulled all the way out, which might shift the weight of the dresser and cause it to fall forward.

Guardian Angel Window Guard

The window guards you buy should have less than four inches between the bars, to keep kids from squeezing through. (These Guardian Angel window guards definitely fit the bill.) Depending on where you live and if you rent an apartment, your landlord may be required to provide window guards.

In the Nursery

Pay particular attention to the crib, ensuring you follow the Safe Sleep Guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Here are a few other childproofing tips:

Keep the crib bare except for a tight-fitting sheet — pillows, blankets, bumpers, or stuffed animals can be a suffocation or SIDS risk.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the mattress position in the crib. As soon as a baby can sit up, for example, the mattress should be lowered.
Use cordless window blinds, since cords are a strangulation hazard. Also: Keep cords for baby monitors out of reach.

Cordless Blackout Shades

It's not only the pull cords on window shades that are dangerous for kids — rear and inner cords and lifting loops pose a threat as well. Parents and caregivers should examine all window coverings and make sure there are absolutely no accessible cords on the front, side, center, or rear of the shades. These blackout shades have cordless options and are Good Housekeeping Institute seal holders .

In the Kitchen

More than 67,000 children age 4 and under go to the ER because of burns or scalds each year, per a Safe Kids report . To keep your kids safe:

Put child locks on drawers, stove knobs, the fridge, lower cabinets, dishwashers, and ovens. Depending on your cabinets, you might have to try a few different types.
Keep knives and other sharp objects in locked drawers.
When you're cooking, keep pot handles turned toward the back of the stove, so little ones don't try to grab them.
Place high chairs away from tables, counters, or walls so your baby doesn't use them to push off and cause a tip-over accident.

Safety 1st Child Proof Stove Knob Covers

These stove knob covers are tricky for kids to figure out but easy for adults: Just squeeze the sides to pop off the lid.

Safety 1st SecureTech Cabinet Lock

This lock is simple to use and super secure. The green indicator lets you know it's in the locked position. Remember to lock up any cabinets within your child's reach, especially ones that contain cleaning products or other chemical-laden products.

Magnetic Locking System

This magnetic lock from Safety 1st gets installed inside a cabinet or drawer; then, you use a magnetic "key" to open it. This is great for people with curious toddlers who love to try their luck opening drawers.

In the Living Room

Two-thirds of injuries related to tip-overs of top-heavy furniture or TVs involve children younger than 5, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Play it safe with this advice:

Mount flat screen TVs to the wall. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure you have a secure fit.
If it's not mounted, anchor the TV to its stand (choose one that's sturdy and appropriate for the TV's size and weight). Push the TV as far back as you can so its pedestal and feet aren't extending over the edge.
Put edge guards around tables.
Avoid placing remotes, toys, etc. in places where kids may be tempted to climb up to reach for them.
Mount photos or put them in frames that don’t have glass that can shatter. Otherwise, make sure there's no way for kids to get their hands on the frames.
Keep candles and matches out of reach.
Remove heavy or breakable decorative objects.

Roving Cove Baby Proofing Edge & Corner Guards

Prevent bumps and bruises with these edge guards. They come pre-taped, so there's one less step for you do to.

Command 3M Photo Hangers

Command 3M products make it easy to mount photos without damaging your wall, and they can hold up to 12 pounds.

Vinkor Flameless Candles

Make sure candles and matches are out of reach. Or, better yet, use LED candles, which still provide a pretty glow and are safer than the real thing.

RELATED: The Best Candle for Your Zodiac Sign

In the Bathroom

Standing water is the biggest hazard in the bathroom: According to the CDC, drowning is the second-most common cause of death for kids 1 to 4. Keep them safe with this advice:

In the bathtub, drain the water as soon as you're finished using it to avoid injuries and drowning.
Install a latch on the toilet.
Cover the bathtub spout to prevent injuries.
Make sure medications and anything with chemicals are stored up high in a locked cabinet.
Set the thermostat on your hot water heater to below 120°F to prevent scalding.
Unplug and store any appliances or hair tools.

Skip Hop Moby Bath Spout Cover

This little whale keeps kids from bonking their heads on the tub faucet — and brightens up bath time.

RELATED: The Best Baby Bath Tubs That Make Washing Up a Breeze

Safety 1st Swing Shut Toilet Lock

Toilets are actually a drowning hazard for kids (plus, it's just gross if they stick their hands in the water), so it's best to keep lids locked tight. This lock has a color indicator that turns green to let you know it's properly locked.

Using a luggage lock can help keep your belongings safe while you travel. From traditional padlocks and keys to state-of-the-art card locks, there are a ton of options out there for you to choose from.

To help you narrow in on your search, here’s all the information you need to know about using luggage locks, TSA-approved luggage locks, and which luggage locks might be best for you.

A good luggage lock will help to protect your luggage against unnecessary attention from would-be thieves and keep it safe while in transit. A great luggage lock will also be easily accessible for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents that may need to check inside your bag without having to break in or damage your luggage or luggage lock.

Bottom Line: While nothing can completely guarantee the safety of your belongings while you travel, a well-designed locking device can give you an extra layer of protection that you won’t want to be without.

To ensure the continued safety of passengers traveling to and through the U.S., the TSA screens all checked and carry-on luggage before allowing the luggage onto any commercial airline flight. In the majority of cases, pun intended, baggage can be electronically screened, which doesn’t require the bag to be opened. However, on occasion, your luggage may need to be opened by a TSA agent.

To ensure that your luggage is easily accessible to TSA agents while remaining secure and protected while you travel, there are TSA-approved luggage locks. These are designed to be used with a universal “master” key. This master key is only available to the TSA, so agents can access your luggage if needed, but the lock remains locked and luggage inaccessible to anyone else.

TSA-approved locks can be purchased at the airport, your general luggage store, or even online outlets. When purchasing, the locks will clearly say “TSA-approved” on the packaging.

Some TSA-approved locks also come with an indicator to let you know if TSA had to open your bag. The indicator will be red after an inspection or remain green if your bag wasn’t opened. You can easily reset the indicator in seconds using a pointed object, such as a pen or paperclip, so you can reuse the indicator for each trip.

Bottom Line: If you don’t use TSA-approved locks, you run the risk of having your luggage damaged if the TSA isn’t able to access your bag for inspection. TSA agents will break non-approved locks, cut zippers and even snip their way through soft-shell cases to ensure that you don’t have any prohibited goods packed in your luggage. Stay safe and keep your luggage in 1 piece with TSA-approved locks.

All locks are useful, but not all locks are equal. When it comes to keeping your gear safe from harm in transit, there are a variety of different types of TSA-approved locks for you to choose from.

The most traditional of all locking devices, a good old-fashioned padlock needs a proper key to open the device. On the flip side of that, be careful with that key! If you lose the key, you may need to saw the lock apart to get access to whatever is locked inside.

Combination Locks

Using a combination of 3 or 4 digits, you can lock your belongings away from would-be thieves, without having to worry about keeping track of a key. A popular choice with travelers, combination locks are a good choice, assuming you never forget the combination.

If you are forgetful, you can always save the combination on your phone contacts as the last four digits of a phone number. For fans of the TV series “Lost,” “John Locke” is an excellent alias to use for the contact name.

Bottom Line: Given that combination locks are compact and you don’t have to worry about a physical key or card getting lost, they come highly recommended for their ease of use.

Cable Locks

These locks also open with a combination but are more versatile. Cable locks can be used in a variety of situations as they have a semi-flexible cable rather than a stiff metal clip to lock. Not just for suitcases and backpacks, you can even use these for lockers or strongboxes while you are on the go.

Bottom Line: Cable locks are a great alternative to regular combination locks as the flexible cable provides extra versatility.

Retractable Cable Locks

These are similar to cable locks in the sense that you have the option to lock your luggage to a fixed object or other luggage, but these are seemingly more convenient as the cable retracts inside the lock itself. While this sounds great in principle, unfortunately with testing, the locking mechanism seems to fail quite frequently, and to make the cable retractable, the cable itself seems less robust than the cables used in the traditional cable locks.

Bottom Line: Given their tendency to fail and how easy they are to break, retractable cable locks are not recommended.

Key Card Locks

Similar to the cards you use to open hotel doors, key card locks work very similarly. A little bit on the bulky side, these are handy if you want to keep everything in your wallet as the key card will fit nicely in one of your wallet’s credit card folds.

Bottom Line: It’s certainly a personal preference to use these types of locks. Unfortunately, similarly to key locks, if you lose the card, you lose the key, and you will need to cut the lock.

Best Babyproof Cabinet Locks of 2024

SafeWise experts have years of firsthand experience testing the products we recommend. Learn how we test and review .

You've padded corners and blocked off stairways to keep baby safe, but proper babyproofing also means keeping little hands from opening off-limits cabinets.

We compared popular babyproof cabinet locks and found that the affordable Wappa Baby Safety Cabinet Locks will keep babies and toddlers from getting into kitchen and bathroom cabinets. And, since they're easy to install, you can tackle this babyproofing project during naptime or an episode of Baby Einstein .

Also check out our Room-by-Room Guide to Baby-Proofing for more tips.

Here are the best babyproof cabinet locks

Wappa Baby Cabinet Locks : Best overall
Jambini Magnetic Cabinet Locks : Invisible pick
Munchkin Xtraguard Latches : Budget pick
The Good Stuff Safety Latches : Best for drawers
Kiscords Baby Cabinet Locks : Best temporary lock

Reviews: Top 5 child safety locks

1. wappa baby safety cabinet locks: best overall.

The Wappa Baby Safety Cabinet Locks top of our list because they’re affordable, discreet, and easy to install—plus, they work for babies and toddlers. They even come in different colors so you can babyproof with style.

These childproof locks are attached with 3M adhesive to each door of your cabinet (or the bowl/lid of your toilet) and have a strong strap that holds the cabinets shut. When you want to get in, simply press the release button, and the strap comes loose on one side.

The biggest downside is that they’re attached with adhesive, so it's possible they could eventually be pulled free by persistent hands. And when you’re ready to take them down, you’ll have to clean the residue on every cabinet door.

2. Jambini Magnetic Cabinet Locks: Invisible pick

The Jambini Magnetic Cabinet Locks are our favorite magnetic lock system because they do almost no damage to your cabinets, are completely invisible, and don’t require tools to install.

These locks work by attaching a latch on the inside of the cabinet that will hold it shut until you put the magnet-based key on the outside. This magnet will release the lock and allow the cabinet to open.

If you know you’ll be in and out of a particular cabinet often, you can temporarily unlock the latch so you won’t need to use the key. Make sure you keep the key in a safe place far away from any little ones who might wander off with it, or you’ll be stuck with a lot of cabinets you can’t open!

Mommy’s Helper Outlet Plugs are another must-have babyproofing product.

These outlet covers keep little hands safe but are easy for you to remove when you need to. Plus, they come with more than 30 plugs in a pack, making this one of the most affordable babyproofing options.

Outlets pose a risk to toddlers and crawling babies because of their intriguing shape and eye-level position. Putting a finger or toy into an outlet could really hurt your baby and cause electrical problems for your home.

3. Munchkin Xtraguard: Budget pick

The Munchkin Xtraguard is another adhesive-based, strap-across babyproof system that we love. This one features a dual button release which makes it difficult for even older toddlers to figure out.

A little bit larger than other babyproofing options, the Munchkin Xtraguard is less discreet but can be used on cabinets, refrigerators, and toilets. The adhesive backing means no tools needed to install it, but you’ll also have to deal with cleaning off the sticky residue when you no longer need the latches.

4. The Good Stuff Child Safety Latches: Best for cabinets

These Good Stuff Child Safety Latches latching locks are attached with adhesive and are completely invisible. Plus, there’s no button to push or key to lose.

These locks are great for keeping little ones out of drawers. But they can’t be used on refrigerators or toilets, so if you’re looking for a one-stop babyproofing solution, this isn’t it.

5. Kiscords Baby Safety Cabinet Locks: Best temporary lock

Kiscords Baby Safety Locks are a great option for temporary babyproofing that won’t leave a mark on your cabinets. You can also tote them to family and friends' homes when visiting or when they're babysitting.

One downside is that these locks only work only on cabinets with handles.

Suniry Invisible Child Cabinet Locks

The Suniry Invisible Child Cabinet Locks latching babyproofing system is great for parents who have lots of little ones and need cabinets locked for a long time.

These latches are a little bit cheaper than other latch systems but might not be as durable if installed with adhesive rather than hardware.

Adoric Sliding Cabinet Lock

The Adoric Sliding Cabinet Lock uses a U -shaped piece of plastic, threaded through cabinet handles, to keep doors shut. It's great for a quick and easy install that won’t leave any marks or damage your cabinets.

They can be a little trickier to open, though, and they’re not the most discreet childproofing solution.

Safety 1st Magnetic Locks

Safety 1st Magnetic Locks hide behind cabinet doors and require a magnetic key—they can also be set to stay unlocked.

This system is a little pricier than other magnetic locks, but it does have a hardware option for cabinets made of particleboard, or anywhere you want an extra-secure bond.

The Wappa Baby Safety Cabinet Locks is our top babyproofing pick because it's affordable and can be used on almost anything you want to keep Baby out of. It's also easy to install, which is key when you're a busy parent.

I want to uninstall my cabinet locks. How do I get the adhesive residue off?

The best way to clean it off is with a solvent. 3M sells a product specifically for removing the residue. Many homeowners swear by a little squirt of WD-40, hand sanitizer, or Goo Gone. Don’t forget to wipe the solvent off your cabinet when you’re done!

Take it with a grain of salt when babyproof cupboard locks say that the adhesive leaves no residue, and have a plan for cleaning it off.

My cat constantly gets into our cabinets. Will childproof locks work for nosy animals?

Yes! Quite a lot of four-legged family members need to be protected from their own curiosity. Whether it’s a trash can you need secured or a toilet lid you want to keep down, most babyproofing products do a great job of keeping animals out too.

I lost my magnetic key. What do I do?

The easiest thing to do is buy a replacement key. If you can’t find one, you may need to buy another magnetic babyproofing system. However, some parents have used fridge magnets to get the job done!

I don’t have the time or money to babyproof everything. What should I prioritize?

Parents know that every penny counts. When it comes to babyproofing, focus on everything that’s at your baby’s eye level, especially if it’s something that could cause them long-term harm (like electrical outlets or cabinets full of cleaning supplies).

Should I have a professional install my babyproofing?

For most homes and most babyproofing products, self-installation is fine. There are companies that will come through and do it for you, making sure no safety stone is unturned, but most parents opt for a DIY approach. Of course, no matter who installs your products, you’ll still need to keep an eye on your little one. There’s no substitute for you!

How to Child-Proof an RV

A kid’s curiosity plus their mobility equals a serious talent for getting into scrapes tumbles and generally causing mom or dad to get grey hair. Just like you child-proof your home you should also child-proof your RV. We’ll list out potential hazards as well as ways to help prevent your kid from injuring themselves. By the end you’ll know how to child-proof an RV!

Potential Hazards in an RV for Kids

Sharp edges
Slamming fingers in drawers cupboards and doors
Stove and oven
Tripping or slipping
Falling from the bed
Getting outside or falling via the windows or exterior doors
Chemicals sharp objects and other things kids shouldn’t touch

1. Child-proof latches and locks.

These are your best friend for child-proofing an RV. Secure them on all drawers cupboards and doors you don’t want your explorer getting into. You can also install a finger-pinch guard on those you’re leaving open.

You should also install a latch on your RV’s toilet to prevent anyone from creating an impromptu water table losing a toy or falling in.

You can install a bolt lock or hitch latch on your screen door to prevent escapes too. Ensure it’s high enough that it can’t be reached even if your little one tries to climb. There are also a number of other ingenious methods to secure your screen door – or simply close the outside door and lock it.

2. Be careful where you store things.

In addition to cupboard latches or locks you should always be careful where you store dangerous materials such as cleaning items sharp objects and other things your kids shouldn’t touch. Storing these items out of reach in a locked or latched cabinet is a good start. You can also store these items in your RV’s external under-storage which are usually lockable.

Always store heavy items low-down to prevent things from falling. You can also put in anti-slip material in your cupboards to help keep things where they should be. Using storage containers can also help.

3. Install plug covers on all outlets.

Just like in your home plug or outlet covers are a good precaution. Make sure you install them on all outlets or any that could be reached by some clever climbing.

4. Soften edges and corners.

You can blunt sharp edges and corners with edge bumpers foam or even pool noodles.

5. Install a guard on any bed ledges or stairs.

Many RVs have bunk beds or even beds that are higher up. This is an obvious fall hazard. How you child-proof this part of your RV depends on how it is laid out. Some suggestions include using baby or pet gates bed rail guards netting or building your own rail or gate. Some pad the area below the bed just in case.

Stairs are another potential hazard. You can install railings or netting or use gates to block them off.

6. Child-proof the RV windows.

The hazards with windows include pushing out a screen and falling out getting tangled in shade strings and getting blinded by the sun as you drive. You can child-proof the RV windows by using window locks or wedges. You can also tie up or clip the strings.

7. Child-proof the stove/oven.

Using range knob covers an oven lock and a stove guard you can child-proof the stove/oven. Never leave it unattended if you’re cooking however.

8. Lock and put covers over external RV features.

Child-proofing your RV on the outside is generally easier than the inside. Most cupboards are lockable. You can install a gate or plywood over the ladder if you have one. You can install a gate around any other hookups or otherwise enforce a “no-play” zone around them.

How We Selected Child Proof Cabinet Locks

No-drill cabinet locks.

Baby proofing your cabinets without the permanence of drilling is possible, even if your cabinets do not have knobs. Many of the options available today come with sturdy 3M adhesive strips, which will allow you to secure them to almost any surface without leaving permanent damage behind. Most 3M adhesive can be removed with heat from a hairdryer, any remaining residue can be removed with rubbing alcohol.

Invisible Baby Proofing

Many families do not want baby proofing to be bulky and obvious in their house, and the more concealed locks are the less they will attract the attention of curious toddlers, which is why we like discreet options that are tucked away. There are many lock options that are installed on the inside of cabinets, whether with a magnetic key or spring-loaded releases.

Multi-Purpose Use

Having a lock that works on more than just cabinets will make child-proofing your house that much easier. Whether locking cabinets and drawers, toilets, refrigerators, trash cans, or more we looked for multipurpose options that would cover the whole gamut. It was difficult to find multipurpose locks that blend into the decor, but the number one goal is child safety and these options are successful.

Lost my magnetic key, what do I do?

Any strong magnet should work to disengage magnetic locks, or you can always purchase additional “keys” to keep available as a spare.

Are magnetic cabinet locks better than adhesive cabinet locks?

Adhesive locks in general may not last as long since the adhesive could wear off or be pulled off.

How do you remove adhesive child proof locks from cabinets?

When you are ready to remove your adhesive locks, warm them with a hairdryer to make the adhesive soft and flexible allowing you to remove it without damaging your cabinets.

The home safety essentials needed to make your home safer and more secure can vary depending on a number of factors, with the biggest being whether there are kids or pets in the home. Assuming you do have to child-proof, these are a few must-haves for every home…

Child safety locks and padlocks

There are two main types of locks that most people are talking about when they say child safety locks. The first is child proof latches that can be used to prevent children from opening cabinets and dressers—these are also known as drawer safety locks. The other type is the classic padlock, which we also offer at IKEA.

Corner bumpers for tables and stands

Whether your baby is just learning to crawl or toddling around at record speed, sharp corners on tables and entertainment stands present a head-bump hazard. Plan ahead for the inevitable and prepare with easy-to-apply plastic corner bumpers.

Safety plugs for outlets

Many outlets are at eye-level for babies and toddlers, making them a potential hazard as soon as your little one is old enough to crawl. Keep prying fingers safe by covering every open outlet with an easy-to-use cover. Ours are available in convenient multipacks and are easy to remove by adults when an outlet is needed.

Childproofing /

Best Drawer and Cabinet Locks

Keep curious kiddos out of cabinets and drawers and away from household items they shouldn’t mess with., by babylist team.

How to Baby Proof Drawers

Looking to keep your little one out of all the places they shouldn’t be (but will inevitably try to get to?). There are a variety of safety locks available to keep drawers and cabinets locked tight. The main types are:

Magnetic locks : These safety latches are installed inside cabinets and drawers and use powerful magnets to keep them shut until a “key” unlocks them.
Adhesive strap locks : Using heavy-duty but removable adhesive, these locks can be used on a number of items from cabinets and drawers to appliances.
Spring-action locks : These traditional childproofing latches are installed inside of cabinets and released by holding the cabinet slightly ajar and pressing down on the latch simultaneously.
Slide locks : Designed for double-door cabinets, slide locks fit around adjacent knobs, tying them together until released by pushing two surfaces.

Kids are a curious set, and that can lead them to wondrous discoveries, as well as some not so safe ones too—because crawling, cruising and walking tots get into everything.

Constant supervision is essential, but little ones can be pretty speedy. In the time it takes to answer the phone or heat up a cup of coffee, your sweet pea could be elbows deep in the trash or pulling open your knife drawer.

That’s why locking down your drawers and cabinets is a good idea. Prioritize the places you keep dangerous things like household cleaners, silverware and knives, insect repellents and pesticides, toiletries like mouthwash and nail polish remover, and medicine.

Here are the best drawer and cabinet locks to keep your home safe once your little one is on the move.

9 Best Child Proof Cabinet Locks to Buy

As part of the child proofing process to make your home safe, you may need to buy some top-quality safety locks. These products can help keep your baby from getting into cabinets, drawers, and even appliances like the washing machine and microwave. Because your child’s safety is paramount, you’ll inevitably want the very best in safety locks. That’s why we surveyed Pampers Parents to find out which safety locks worked best for them.

All About Child Proof Locks

Child proof locks are those that are designed to be easy for you or another adult to open, but nearly impossible for your baby or toddler to unlock. Many of these are devices that you can either clip onto or stick onto cabinets, drawers, and appliances with doors like the refrigerator, washing machine, and microwave. Among the various kinds of child proof cabinet locks on the market are external or internal locks:

External Child Proof Cabinet Locks

Why you need child proof cabinet locks.

Long before your baby begins to crawl or walk, it’s a good idea to start child proofing your home. There are a number of baby proofing steps you can take, but one of them is child proofing your cabinets by adding child proof safety locks. Adding a safety lock to cabinets, drawers, and appliances can help prevent your curious child from grabbing or doing something dangerous or making a mess of something important you have tucked away. You’ll want to install these locks on low cabinets that your child could reach in your home, including any in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, laundry/utility room, basement, and garage. Experts advise blocking access to cabinets or drawers that contain any of the following items:

Cleaning products such as dishwashing liquid, toilet bowl cleaners, drain cleaners, furniture polish, bleach, and laundry detergents

Personal hygiene products such as cosmetics, nail polish removers, mouthwash, aftershave, cologne, and perfume

Automotive supplies such as gasoline, antifreeze, engine oil, and windshield wiper fluid

Gardening chemicals including fertilizer, insecticides, and pesticides

Medicinal items including prescription medicine, over-the-counter medicine, vitamins, and supplements

Pantry items like spices, baking supplies, and glass bottles and jars

Small items that can become a choking hazard like buttons, coins, batteries, and jewelry

Cords such as charging cables or extension cords, or appliances with cords, such as a hairdryer or vacuum cleaner

Sharp or breakable items like knives, razor blades, scissors, nail clippers , glassware, and ceramics

Important items like your personal documents and valuables like jewelry.

Storing these items up high, completely out of your little one's reach, or in a different, inaccessible location in the house, is another good option. If you are unable to lock a particular cabinet for any reason, it makes sense to ensure that it doesn’t contain anything that could harm your little one.

9 Best Child Proof Cabinet Locks

Thousands of Pampers Parents voted on the best child proof cabinet locks. Check out these reviews to discover which is best for your home:

1. Safety 1st OutSmart Slide Lock

The lock works on cabinets with knobs or handles spaced up to 4.5 inches apart by holding paired doors together. This means it isn't an option for single cabinet doors or doors without hardware.

Some Pamper Parents complained that the lock rubbed on their cabinets, sometimes even damaging the wood. So that’s something to consider when making your decision.

Highlights: There’s no drilling or installation required for this lock, which Pampers Parents appreciated. Price*: about $5.99 on Amazon.com

Pampers Parents pros and cons:

2. Safety 1st Adhesive Magnetic Child Safety Lock System

Why pick this one? This child safety lock from Safety 1st uses adhesive to attach a magnet on the inside of your cabinet door, which means you don’t see it at all. One of two keys magnetically unlocks the lock so you can open the door. Keep in mind, you wouldn’t want the key getting in the wrong hands, such as your child’s, so make sure you keep both keys completely out of his reach. Although this system of locks is quite expensive when compared to some of the others on this list, you do get eight sets, which may be enough for all the lower cabinets in your kitchen, for example. And there’s no restriction as to what type of cabinet door you can use these locks on. One thing to watch out for is that the adhesive may not stick to every type of cabinet, particularly if it’s made from particle board, so you may need to use the included screws. If you do use the hardware to attach the lock, it will leave marks on the inner part of the door.

Highlights: If you’d like the safety locks to be disengaged for a longer period of time, there is a button that you can press on the lock itself that turns it off. There is also an indicator that lets you know if the lock is on or off in case you’ve forgotten how you left it. Price*: about $42.99 on Amazon.com

3. Adoric Child Safety Locks 4 Pack

The latch opens by pressing an easy-to-use release; however, although it’s easy for you, it’s difficult for toddlers, as Pampers Parents attested. You can use this four-pack system for drawers as well, but the locks won’t work for single cabinet doors or for doors spaced wider than one inch. Also, the adhesive only stays on flat, clean surfaces, so it may not work on certain textured cabinets or ones that may have grease splatter, etc. The manufacturer recommends installing the latch by heating the adhesive pad with your hairdryer for a maximum of three seconds, and then peeling off the backing and sticking it onto the cabinet door. Let it cure for 12 hours before using it.

Highlights: If you have any problems with the safety lock, the manufacturer offers a customer service line that you can call for assistance. Price*: about $8.99 on Amazon.com

4. Munchkin Xtraguard Dual Action Multi-Use Latches

The flexible latch also makes it possible to attach around corners—for example, latching a single cabinet door to the side of the cabinet, or latching the microwave door to the top of the microwave. Despite the manufacturer’s claims that the adhesive removes without damaging surfaces, many Pampers Parents found the opposite to be true.

Highlights: The great thing about these latches is that they’re versatile and not just for cabinets. Use them to secure drawers, appliances, toilet seats, and more. Price*: about $6.96 on Amazon.com

5. Eco-Baby Child Safety Magnetic Cabinet and Drawer Locks

Eco-Baby Magnetic Cabinet Locks for Drawers and Cabinets

There’s no drilling or difficult installation involved. Simply use the installation cradle to place the locks using the provided adhesive tape. Then stick on the striker plate. If the adhesive doesn’t work, you could use screws, but the manufacturer claims the adhesive is strong enough to attach to almost any surface. With the help of a magnetic key (two are included), you can lock your cabinet doors or drawers. The magnetic key is powerful enough to work through surfaces up to two inches thick. But make sure the keys don’t get into your child’s hands—keep them hidden.

Highlights: The kit includes lock-locator stickers, which come in handy if you would like to label the doors and drawers on which you’ve used the safety locks. Price*: about $30.00 on Amazon.com

6. Jambini Magnetic Cabinet Locks

Why pick this one? Like many other safety locks on this list, Jambini safety locks won't be visible when they are installed in your cabinets. Each safety lock is secured with adhesive to the inside of your cabinet. You open the lock with a magnetic key; however, only one key is provided, which may be a problem if you lose it or if it ends up in your child’s possession. The manufacturer claims the safety locks can fit any cabinet, but Pampers Parents found that the locks did not work well on thicker doors. With your purchase you get four safety locks. However, you may get more bang for your buck by purchasing another set on our list that comes with more safety locks and provides a better value per lock. That’s something to think about.

Highlights: The manufacturer offers a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not completely satisfied. Price*: about $14.99 on Amazon.com

7. BabyKeeps Child Safety Locks

Why pick this one? The BabyKeeps safety locks are shaped like tabs so they can wrap around corners, such as on a chest of drawers or a toilet lid. But if you would rather have safety locks that aren’t as obviously big and bulky, these might not be for you. The safety locks attach to almost any surface securely with adhesive. Although the manufacturer claims that the locks won’t damage the surface, keep in mind that they mount on the outside, so if any paint or varnish comes off when the lock is removed, this will be visible. Pampers Parents point out that the locks are not easy to reuse or reposition, and that it’s important to make sure you’ve put the lock in just the right spot the first time round.

Highlights: The product is available in three colors to better match your furniture: black, brown, and white. Price*: about $17.95 on Amazon.com

8. Vmaisi Child Safety Cabinet Locks

With your purchase you’re getting 12 sets of locks, which is a great value and may provide nearly enough locks for an entire kitchen, for example. There are some downsides with these safety locks: They don’t work on full overlay cabinets or drawers with interior lips, the manufacturer doesn’t recommend using them once your toddler is over 15 months old, and the adhesive may damage the finish of older painted furniture.

Highlights: Available in black or white. Price*: about $16.97 on Amazon.com

9. DB Daily Best Cabinet Locks Child Safety Latches

DB Daily Cabinet Locks Child Safety Baby Proofing

Why pick this one? Similar to the Vmaisi safety lock, the DB Daily Best lock also features a spring-loaded function. This means all you have to do is press the spring-loaded button to open the lock rather than using a magnetic key. The cabinet locks are easy to install as they use adhesive, but some Pampers Parents complained that the adhesive didn’t hold and they had to screw the locks into their cabinetry. Although the locks are invisible from the outside, this may be a deal breaker for you as you may not want to damage the interior of your cabinets. This set includes 10 cabinet locks, 1 door finger guard, 4 corner guards, and 4 socket covers. Packaged this way, it would make a great child-proofing starter kit, or one that you can give to your baby’s grandparents for their use.

Highlights: Available in black or white. Price*: about $24.99 on Amazon.com

The Bottom Line

Choosing the best cabinet lock is an important step in ensuring your baby’s safety and child proofing your home.

How to Child Proof Any Doors: The Safety Lock Guide

A dad’s insight on how to keep your toddler from opening doors. From the basement to front doors and cabinets, here’s the best childproof safety lock to install. Don’t get any child locks before you read the following guide.

As a slightly anxious father of two little explorers, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to babyproof your home. Kids are curious, and if there’s a door in their sight, they want to know what’s behind it. Sometimes the danger is what’s back, and it could be the door itself that’s the threat. A closing door can do some severe damage to baby fingers. From front doors to interior ones, I’ll cover everything you need about childproofing doors, locks, and more.

My goal with this article is to help you understand how to:

Childproof front doors and exterior doors with childproof deadbolts

So, let’s make our homes the safe havens our little adventurers deserve!

What Are the Door Child Proofing Essentials?

Selecting the right child lock can be confusing, don’t worry, I’ve been there! Here are the different types of child locks I have used at home or on vacation.

With these, you are 100% sure to fully childproof your doors. However, sometimes, like when traveling, you need an alternative to real child lock products.

Childproof Your Doors: The Different Types of Door & Safety Child Lock

Regarding babyproofing your home, doors are a significant concern. The first one that comes to mind is the interior doors that lead to risky areas, such as the basement or garage. But there is also the front door that leads to the exterior or the pool area door that leads to even more danger. Let’s explore the various child lock to keep our little explorers safe.

Interior Doors: How to Keep a Toddler From Opening Doors

Kids, especially toddlers, are curious, and it’s a good thing. Our little explorer loves to open and close doors by themself. It’s cute until they catch their small fingers in the doors or the hinges.

From the basement door to a bedroom closet or any other room you don’t want your kid to enter, you have different options to childproof an interior door. It will prevent your kid from being injured or locked inside a room (trust me, this happens all the time with the bathroom door).

Hinged Doors: How to Childproof Them With Doorknob Covers and a Door Stopper

As a dad of two, I’ve learned that door knob covers, and pinch guards are essential for keeping my kids safe around these doors.

Top Door Lock: Maybe your kid is strong enough to open the door with a simple plastic cover. This door lock (link to Amazon) is placed at the top of the door, between the door frame and the actual door. You must install a peg into the door frame and use the sliding latch to lock the door. If you want to enter the room, slide the latch off the peg. It’s pretty simple and effective. Because it’s made of plastic, any adult could break it off in an emergency.
The Door Monkey: I particularly like this product’s versatility ( link to Amazon ). It keeps the door from closing while holding the door close. The plastic mechanism looks like a monkey tail, fixed to the door frame and clamped to the actual door. Unclamp the mechanism with your finger to go through the door and push the door open. It’s very similar to the clamp used for babyproofing cabinets and drawers.
Foam stopper – Door Monkey alternative: To prevent the door from fully closing, use a foam stopper (link to Amazon) . It’s a U-shaped piece of foam that you clamp on the side of the door. The foam piece will stop the door from closing tight. Foam stoppers are a good solution for pet owners. It will allow your pet to circulate in the house without getting trapped by a closed door.
Door With a Lever Handle: Maybe the interior door at your house has lever handles instead of round knobs. Well, there is also a way to childproof this type of door. Like the round doorknob plastic cover, there’s a product design to cover a lever handle. But, it needs to be secured to the door with screws or adhesive tape.
DIY top door lock: This DIY solution is not pretty but could do the job for a temporary door lock. You only need to toss a washcloth over the top of the door so that it will hang on both sides. Fully close the door by giving an extra push. Test and see if the door is correctly jammed in place. If not, try to fold the washcloth to make it thicker. Now the door needs an extra push to be open. If it opens toward you, pull on the washcloth and the door handle at the same time.
Key Lock: I recommend not locking doors inside your house! The key lock is a bad idea because, in an emergency, the key could be lost, and you might need to break the door. I remember visiting my uncle when I was about 6 years old, and I got locked inside a bedroom for a long time. He had vintage lock handles. You know, the one with the old key. He always kept the key inside the lock, but I decided to play with it that day. My parents had to search the house for at least 45 minutes. I was hysteric on the other side of the door. Today, I still remember that night correctly.
DIY Door Stopper: You can make your version of the foam stopper by using a pool noodle. Just cut a piece and slide it on the side of the door. Another temporary solution is throwing a towel on the door directly. It will prevent the door from closing. Just ensure your kid can’t grab the towel to pull it off.

Sliding Door: How to Secure Your Closet and Shower Doors

Sliding doors can be tricky to childproof, but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. With the right lock, we can keep our curious little ones from venturing outside or getting their tiny fingers pinched.

Folding Doors: How to Keep Your Child from Inside the Pantry

Some houses have folding doors, especially for small closets. I was surprised to learn that an especially designed child lock exists for this type of door (link to Amazon) .

It’s relatively easy to use. You slide the lock between both doors, and it will prevent the doors from folding. To access the closet, you push the lock with one hand.

Because they are installed on top of the door, they will be effective until your kid is tall enough or learn to climb on something to reach it.

Cabinet Doors: How to Child Proof Your Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinet Doors

Cabinet doors are a treasure trove of potential hazards. Using the following techniques, you can keep your kids away from harmful items like cleaning supplies and sharp objects.

When childproofing a house, the new parents will start with the kitchen cabinets. It’s an excellent idea but remember the bathroom cabinets too.

Your child may not be crawling right now, but it could happen sooner than you think. Don’t postpone this task because there’s a good chance you won’t have time later, or you may wait until it’s too late.

Every year, almost 800 000 children go to the ER because they ingested cleaning products or medicines.

Before you buy the first childproofing product you see in the store, you must know they are not all user-friendly. In my experience, the first model of cabinet lock we installed was so frustrating to use. Since it was already fixed in place, I didn’t want to replace them, but I want you to avoid making the same mistake.

Let’s review the list of 7 different types of cabinets and drawers you must childproof.

DIY Slide Lock Alternative: If your cabinet doors have knobs, you can wrap a rubber band tight around both. It can be a broccoli rubber band or a hair rubber band. Find one that is thick enough and not too long. Just make sure to put it back in place every time. Don’t let the rubber band in your kid’s reach. He could try to chew on it, and to swallow the rubber band is a sure visit to the ER.
Pull Cord Locks: If you like a bolo tie look, the pull cord is for you! Give your kitchen a Western look 🙂 I love Western movies, but not so much the pull cord locks. Yes, they are very simple, but it won’t take long before your toddler figures out how to open them. Instead, you could use a shoelace, and it will do the same job.

For more information on child locks for cabinets, check out this guide I created about babyproofing your cabinet doors and drawers.

While you are childproofing the kitchen, you must also consider the appliances.

Appliance Doors: How to Keep Your Toddler From Opening The Washer

Kids love to play with doors, and appliances could look like big toys. The refrigerator is the most interesting one to open, and it could lead to a broken pickle jar on the floor. Also, the dishwasher could contain dangerous items, like knives and detergent tablets.

To thoroughly proof your home, consider adding a locking system to your refrigerator, washing machine, and microwave.

To open the door, you remove the strap, and you can leave it open for the time needed. When you are done, you slide the strap into the lock position.

Exterior Doors: How to Stop Children From Unlocking the Front Door

If your toddler is feeling adventurous and wants to go outside, you must do something about it. Now and then, we hear a story about a kid wandering around the neighborhood in the middle of the night or a baby crawling through a street. The consequences are too severe not to childproof your front door.

Basic door hook and flip latch: The door hook is the most common locking system used for a sliding door. They can be found at any hardware store and come in various styles. Since you need to screw into the door frame and the actual door, I would recommend using this solution with a wooden door only. It works fine with french doors or pocket doors.

Pool Doors: How to Secure the Pool Area Like a Pro?

In most cities, the law requires that all pools be securely fenced. The door to the pool must have a lock mechanism and an automatic closer to be 100% childproof. If you only secure one door at your house, this is the one.

To safely install a lock on a pool door, you must consider the following.

Install the lock on the side of the fence facing the pool. This will make it more difficult for a kid to open the lock. This is the only secure setup because even if you forget to lock the door, it will be difficult for children to reach the other side of the fence and open the lock. Just make sure the small hand of your kid can reach it through the fence.
The locking mechanism should be automatic. Don’t use a door hook or a flip latch that requires manual closing.
Have the option to lock the door completely. It could be with a key or a code, but anything to ensure that kids are not unattended in the pool area.
Automatic door closer: No pool door is 100% childproof without an automatic closer. This device prevents the door from being wide open and unattended. The one I use at my house is a large spring installed between the door frame and the actual door on the side of the hinges. This mechanism is mandatory for all pool owners in my region.

Car Doors: How To use the Child Proof The Back Seat of Your Car

I recommend using child locks if you drive with young children on board. It will prevent the door from accidentally opening while you are driving. Even if your child is seated in a proper car seat and technically not able to unbuckle, it’s safer to use the child lock. It will also bring you the peace of mind to focus entirely on the road.

You can childproof your car by engaging the child and window locks.

Car child lock: A child lock is available with every car built after the ’70s. It’s a little toggle switch located on the side of the door, only accessible when the door is open. Once the child lock is activated, your kid won’t be able to open the door from the inside. You must open the door manually or use the unlock button on the driver’s door.
Window lock: The electric window is convenient and much easier to use than the rolling handle. Kids love playing with them too. It’s cute but can be dangerous when driving on the highway. A car with electric windows has a window lock feature. This lock button is accessible on the driver’s side. Once activated, the window will be locked, and your kid won’t be able to play with the window button.

Thinking Outside the Lock: Alternative Childproof Door Solutions

Not every home’s needs are the same, so it’s essential to be aware of alternative childproof door solutions. In this section, we’ll discuss the other options that could be just what you’re looking for.

What are the alternatives to childproof door lock?

Before you get a childproof door lock, look at those alternatives. They could be more appropriate for what you are trying to achieve.

Baby gates: If you want to prevent your kid from entering a room but don’t want to keep the door closed, you can always use a baby gate. What I like about baby gates compared to child locks is you can keep the door open and prevent your kid from entering too. The air will continue to flow, and the sunlight naturally lights your house. They work great with interior doors. Check out this article dedicated to baby gates.
Baby monitors: Another great solution to keep an eye on your kid without locking him out of a room is using a baby monitor. With a camera monitor, you can be alert when your kid enters or leaves a room. In some situations, a baby monitor could be your best solution. Learn more about the benefits of video baby monitor here.
Dutch door: A Dutch door has two panels that can close separately. You can close the bottom part and leave the top open. This kind of door gives you the ability to see and communicate with the people on the other side of the door. It’s kind of a gate, but you still have the option to close the door to have more privacy entirely. This could be an excellent alternative to block kitchen or home office access.

With childproofing measures in place, our job isn’t quite done yet. Let’s talk about safety.

Childproofing Safety Tips: What You Need To Know

Childproofing has its limit, and you must know that it’s not always installing a lock on a door is the best solution. Here’s my advice on how to keep your kids safe and practice smart childproofing.

Is Lock Handles a Good Solution to Keep Kids From Opening Doors?

In most houses, the bathroom door will have a lock handle. You know, the one you can lock with a button.

These are ok to use, but I wouldn’t recommend changing all door handle for this type. The reason is simple, kids love to play with handles and buttons, and they will lock themself inside the room at some point.

If you have one, ensure it has a small hole on the other side. If your kid gets locked inside the bathroom, you must use a toothpick to open the safety mechanism. It will unlock the door from the outside.

Are Cabinet Locks Foolproof?

You or your guest could leave open a cabinet door by accident. It will happen at some point. You must consider the chance you take by keeping dangerous items at your kid’s level.

You should move all dangerous chemicals and sharp or heavy objects to higher cabinets. This way, if you forget to lock the door, there won’t be any chance of a fatal accident.

Lower cabinets, accessible at your toddler height, should still be childproof to avoid an accident or unnecessary mayhem.

Also, remember that cabinet locks are not babysitters. Having a child lock does not mean you should let a kid wander in a kitchen unattended. Doing so will allow them to learn how to unlock the cabinets.

Why You Should Never Let Your Kid See How to Unlock the Cabinets

Your little explorer is watching you unlock the cabinets. He knows those cabinet doors can be opened and wants to know how.

When manipulating the lock, try obstructing your kid’s view or getting his attention elsewhere.

Is Locking My Kid’s Room Door Safe?

As tempting as it could be, locking a child in his room is dangerous. Behind the fact that it’s a little bit cruel, it’s also putting them at risk for no reason. In case of an emergency, they might not get out of the house in time. Also, if something happens to you, you will not be able to get help. Child services or your local fire department will pay you a visit when they learn about it.

The first week my kids were sleeping into a grownup bed, they would always get out of the bedroom. It’s frustrating, I know! But locking them in their room is a terrible idea.

Using a baby monitor or installing a baby gate in their room is more suitable.

Bedtime must stay fun and not become a scene from Alcatraz. It’s time to sleep, not lockdown time!

Make a list of all the doors and drawers you need to childproof. Still, remove as many harmful objects from your kid’s reach and secure the doors with locks. Remember to adapt your childproofing as your kid get older and more curious.

For me, keeping my kids safe while encouraging them to be curious is essential. I also teach them to know the limits and realize what situations can be dangerous.

You must find the right balance between childproofing and common sense. There’s no point in turning your house into Fort Knox. Teaching our kids to be vigilant and accountable for their actions is still the best way to prevent accidents. Sure, in the process, you still need to protect them from serious injuries.

It’s not by putting my kids in bubble wrap that they will learn how to stay safe. It’s by doing some trial and error that we learn the most.

Let’s make sure the error is not too critical.

P.S. Here are the items I’ve used to childproof my home and keep my babies safe. Installing the essential childproofing items will create a safe home for your family.

The Door Monkey‎ Safety Lock & Pinch Guard begin our list with a solid and decent option. It has several features that grabbed my attention when I first tried it out on my home’s interior doors.

One of these aspects was its simple installation process. I didn’t even need any tape or tools as this product has a rather convenient unique design, which requires neither. In fact, such a convenient design is compatible with many lever handles and door knobs.

I was also pleased with its ability to prevent accidental lock-ins. This attribute comes from its ability to be operable from both sides, which is quite practical. After all, it ensures that my nephew can’t lock me inside a room when he’s feeling rebellious.

The product’s ability to prevent pinched fingers was another highlighting trait. In other words, it acts as an effective finger pinch guard by keeping the door slightly open. It’s nice to no longer worry about getting my fingers stuck inside a door when shutting it.

Simple, no tool or tape installation
Convenient design that fits various door knob and lever handle
Prevents accidental lock-ins
Operable from both sides
Effective finger pinch guard
Unattractive design for beautiful home decor

Tuut’s ‎TT-DLL-102 Child Proof Lever Lock is a worthwhile option with its straightforward, effective design. It had no trouble keeping my nephews from adventuring where they don’t belong with its simple construction.

More importantly, this door lever child lock isn’t tough to open or close for adults. This is among the smart locks with accessible buttons that are easy and comfortable to press. It features the brand’s patented technology for ultimate safety.

The good news is, this lock can work well with many doors. For instance, it’s compatible with all standard door lever handles. Finding ways to utilize this product within my home wasn’t difficult because of this varied compatibility.

It comes as a two pack to make it easier to take advantage of this versatility. This two-pack isn’t overly expensive, which makes it a prime candidate for a bargain buy. Moreover, I should note that this model comes with a lifetime guarantee. So any buyer who isn’t satisfied can get a full refund when it’s needed.

Simple, effective construction with patented technology
Easy, comfortable buttons to open/closed
Compatible with all standard door lever handles
Two-pack per set for multiple applications
Reasonable price and lifetime guarantee
A bit bulky design

Our next option, Safety’s Innovations Child Proof Deluxe Top Door Lock, has no trouble staying out of a child’s reach. It’s mounted to the top of a door frame rather than anywhere near where pets or kids can get easy access to it.

I also like this placement because it’s concealed from my sight. Therefore, it doesn’t become an eyesore or blend badly into my home’s decor. This issue tends to be a problem with other child safety locks for doors, as they often have bulky designs.

It wasn’t difficult to find suitable doors inside my home for this lock, either. This child lock for door security works with any 1 ⅜” thick interior door without any issue. Due to this, I could use it in my bedroom , bathroom, closet, or even my basement doors with ease.

Safety Innovations was kind enough to include a wand in the design, as well. I’m not the tallest person around, so this aspect allows me to easily unlock or lock the door. It’s pretty nice not to have to go onto my tiptoes like with other top locks.

Mounted on top of a door frame
Out of reach for kids and pets
Blends well into home decor
Suitable for any 1 ⅜” thick interior door
Included wand for shorter adults
Pretty confusing instructions

One of the more simple choices would be Jool Baby Products’ ‎DKC-104 Door Knob Covers. I found their low-profile design truly appealing as they’re placed onto door knobs and blend right into my home’s decor.

This blendable design allowed me to use these door knob safety covers all over my house. I was pretty pleased with how well they managed to keep my nephew from causing damage. For once, I could contain his rebellious streak and keep my breakable items from being thrown all over.

Finding multiple places to install these wasn’t tricky, either. These covers are compatible with all standard spherical door knobs to ensure solid versatility. Plus, this option comes as a four pack, so I basically had to find multiple ways of utilizing these products.

Moreover, the installation process didn’t take much effort at all. These knob covers are placed and ready to provide security with a single click. I couldn’t figure out how to mess it up even if I tried, which is saying something.

The price was favorable, too, as I ended up feeling like it was a bargain. I don’t often find multiple decent child proof locks for a low price within this marketplace.

Low-profile design to blend well into any interior decor
Fits all standard spherical door knobs
Four pack for multiple applications
Single-click installation for first-time users
A more affordable options
A bit tricky to remove afterward

Most toddlers aren’t going to like encountering Wappa Baby Store’s Child Proof Door Lever Lock. It has a proven track record of keeping them from opening doors with its practical design. The product uses a two-button locking/unlocking system that keeps most toddlers from opening it.

This system keeps it convenient for adults around the home, as well. It only requires me to use two fingers when I want the door open or closed. Therefore, I can easily carry objects through the door without having to put them down or have someone else pick them up.

Most other child proof door knobs lever devices make this task almost impossible. But this one has made my life easier by ensuring I can carry groceries into my home with ease. Plus, installing these models is relatively straightforward.

EverPlus’s ‎EPDL001-1 Home Security Door Lock earned its way into my heart by having a rather impressive metal construction. This attribute allows it to be an effective front door child lock as it’s known for withstanding 800 pounds of force.

I tried several attempts to test this reported strength, and it stopped all of them. Honestly, I feel it’s more than adequate to add security to my front door. It’ll also have no issues preventing my pets and nephews from opening/closing the door whenever they feel adventurous.

The easy using process was another intriguing attribute offered by this option. I doubt any adult will have many issues operating it, especially with the detailed instructions. These directions made my life a lot easier when first getting used to this product.

I was pleased with its smooth, polished edges, as well. Some child safety locks for front doors will have sharp edges that can cause cuts or other injuries. But EverPlus did a solid job ensuring their product was smoothed out and safe for everyone to use.

Includes helpful detailed instructions

The Door Buddy ‎DBB Baby Proof Door Lock caught my interest as a pet owner because of its adjustable strap feature. It allows users to customize a door’s width to perfectly block an animal or toddler from coming into the room.

As an owner of a curious dog, it made keeping him out of the cat’s food room much easier. My cat could now eat in peace without having to worry about a dog invading the space. Honestly, it’s a game-changer for my household.

I was also pleased with this option’s installation process. It took only a few seconds with strong 3M adhesive tape that bonds onto most doors with ease. I had a hard time finding a door that this product didn’t work on well, whether it be a bathroom, closet, or even double doors.

Door Buddy was kind enough to offer two color choices, as well. I had a difficult decision to make between caramel and gray for my particular child-proofing device. In the end, I had to go with caramel as it meshes better with my door than a solid gray.

Customizes door width with adjustable strap
Strong, 3M adhesive to install easily and securely
Bonds with most standard interior doors (bathroom, bedroom, office, etc.)
Two color choices (caramel and gray)
A rather flimsy hook

EUDEMON’s ‎001YM02B932204 Baby Safety Door Knob Covers are an interesting addition to this list because of their eco-friendly design. These door knob covers are made from PP and TPR material to ensure using them doesn’t hurt our planet.

But their eco-friendly design doesn’t hurt their performance in the slightest. They offer sufficient protection with their use of double buttons unlock/lock mechanism. In other words, users will press the covers’ double buttons and turn the knob whenever they need to open the door.

I was also intrigued by the covers’ setup process as they were easily installed. I did the entire task without any drills or tools, which is always a winning aspect. I can’t imagine anyone having much trouble with it.

Moreover, this option provides buyers with four door knob covers for multiple applications. I found it more than helpful to have these products all over my home. It’s an easy way to keep dangerous and off-limit areas contained whenever I need.

Eco-friendly design made of PP and TPR material
Easy to use double button locking mechanism
No tools or drills are needed to install

This next option, Predictable Solutions’ GlideLok Door Top Lock, is a bit more convenient than some others on our list. It earns this distinction by being usable on most 1 ⅜” thick hinged interior /exterior doors, double doors, and french doors.

As a result, it becomes a viable candidate for being child proof door locks front door device. It’ll make sure to prevent any curious toddlers from adventuring outside by myself. Their little fingers won’t be able to reach its placement on top of the door frame.

I was also thrilled to see this option features metal construction. I’m always going to feel more comfortable with devices made from metals rather than plastic. These models will provide much better durability in most designs, which is certainly the case here.

Predictable Solutions did a good job preventing parents from getting locked in, as well. This product is operable from both sides of the door to stop this nightmare situation. It’s a nice precautionary measure to ensure I can always disengage when necessary.

High-quality cabinet door locks aren’t always the easiest product to find. But Vmaisi’s ‎Lock12+2 Magnetic Cabinet Locks are a solid example as they have several features to keep children and pets out of these spaces.

One of the main aspects would be these devices are locked from inside the cabinets. Users place them on the interior of these areas using tape. From there, the locks are operated by magnet keys to stop any child from removing them by force.

These locks work for pets, too, as I installed some on the cabinet to store cat food. Unfortunately, my cat used to find his way into there whenever he wanted and made a huge mess. But these locks are now in place to stop this nuisance behavior.

I should also mention this option comes with twelve locks and two keys. It was relatively easy to find places for all of them as I used them in my bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and pantry. I now have all the dangerous items inside my home on lockdown at all times.

Effective toddler and pet deterrent
Prevents removal by force with interior installation
Operated by magnet keys

There isn’t anything overly exciting about Inaya’s Door Handle Child Lock when it comes to features. But it makes our list for offering effective protection without making its use process complicated. Instead, it keeps things simple to ensure the lock can do its job in a hassle-free way.

However, this simplicity doesn’t mean it doesn’t still have quality aspects. I found it to outpace or match the performance of most others options on this list without much difficulty. For instance, it’s got a universal design when it comes to working on door levers.

The installation takes less than a minute, as well, which is always a nice touch. It even comes with video instructions to help guide anyone who’s having issues. I should also mention this option is another 4-pack and comes with a 1-year warranty as an additional incentive.

It seems Inaya has a solid reputation for honoring this warranty, too. Some other brands only use it as a selling point and never intend on providing it. However, there isn’t anything out there to conclude this brand falls into that category.

Simple, hassle-free usage
Fits all door levers with its universal design
Quick installing with included video instructions
Versatile four-pack option
1-year warranty for its performance
Sticky adhesive might tear off door paint when being taken off

Our final option, Safeasy ‎Lever-1 Child Proof Door Safety Lock, manages to end this list on an impressive high note. I found myself enjoying this device with its relatively straightforward but effective lever design.

The main reason for its effectiveness would be its durable ABS material construction. So it shouldn’t have issues standing up to even the most rambunctious toddler or pet. My nephew gave it a pretty good test, and it withstood his attempts without any trouble.

I was also happy with this product’s 180-degree rotatable arm design. It provides the device with a decent amount of versatility, as I found it usable in various locations. After all, it’s known to work with almost all lever handles, and I couldn’t find one where it didn’t.

Other notable features include strong adhesive tape, an easy installation process, and multiple buying quantities. Each of their inclusions had a sizable positive impact on my experience with this device. Safeasy did a solid job covering most of their bases with this particular device, as it certainly met my expectations.

Durable ABS material construction
Versatile, 180-degree arm design for any door types
Strong adhesive tape and easy installation
Multiple buying quantities for various doors around the house
No extra adhesive strip included

Getting the best child safe locks for doors is a must for any parent. However, finding these elusive products will come down to grasping several vital aspects. So let’s dive deeper into these factors to ensure you know exactly what to expect:

Compatibility

You don’t want a childproof door lock that only works on a singular surface. Instead, you’ll want ones capable of being compatible with multiple surfaces. This versatility will ensure they can work wherever they’re needed.

Otherwise, there could be a situation where your locks aren’t usable. It would then become a waste of money and time.

Ease of Assembly and Installation

Buyers will need child safety door locks that aren’t difficult to assemble or install. After all, these devices won’t do much if you can’t use them correctly. Read through manuals and consumer reviews to get a handle on whether both processes are straightforward.

I’d also recommend buying options that come with installation kits or tools. It’ll make the entire process a lot less stressful for everyone involved.

Parents should avoid options with sharp or dangerous edges. These issues could cut your child’s hands or even cause worse injuries. As a result, look for choices with smooth edges that contain perfect finishing materials.

It’s another area where other customer’s reviews will be a massive help to new parents. Other parents will let you know whether the locks cause any issues with their kids. Use their experiences to your advantage and avoid any subpar options.

Lightweight safety locks are much more convenient than heavier ones. These lighter designs allow for easy movement from location to location. However, don’t settle for cheap, lightweight options made from shoddy materials.

It’s best to find a balance between a lightweight construction and a sturdy design. A good choice would be options made from robust and durable plastic. These devices should offer reliable protection while being easy to move.

On a similar note, durability is another massive consideration. You’re going to want locks made from good quality rather than problematic materials known for breaking down. I’d also recommend checking the warranty before purchasing.

In most cases, a longer warranty indicates the company’s faith in its product. No company will provide long-term security unless they expect it to last. I’d suggest avoiding any options without one unless numerous high-quality customer reviews back them.

Our last factor is the price of these child safety locks. As you might expect, the cost can vary quite a bit based on specific features. You’ll need to build a budget around what features are considered a necessity for your needs.

For instance, anyone who wants locks with a child proof smart lock will need higher ranges. Keeping track of these details is the only way to ensure the budget remains realistic. You can then use it to lessen your choices down to a more manageable number.

The simplest way to child proof front doors is by installing a security door chain or deadbolt. Your deadbolt or chain will need to be fixed above the door handle while being high enough to prevent a child from reaching it.

Another option would be buying child locks for front doors. There are a few different types, but there should be one capable of meeting your preferences or needs. Any of these three options will have no problem keeping a child from opening the front door.

The removal process will differ based on your chosen child proof device. Directions for the process should be in your lock’s provided manual. If you follow them, the task should be a piece of cake even for first-time users.

Magnetic child locks are useful and have certain perks. For instance, these options are extremely easy to use and still stop babies from opening them. The easy opening comes from them coming with a key, which makes things relatively simple.

But these magnetic devices do have some drawbacks. After all, they require permanent installation on your doors or whatever intended surface. So it could be an issue for people who are renters or only want short-term locks.

I hope finding the best child proof door locks will now be a breeze. If you stick with our buying guide and reviews, I’m confident there shouldn’t be much trouble. The right choice should become relatively straightforward quickly.

But if you still have a question or two, please let me know in our comment section. I’d love to help out in any way possible, so do not hesitate to reach out!

I run a door lock business that provides the best products for people who seek safe gear. I know the long process of selecting the proper protection tools for your houses and the hardship of installation some pieces might bring. Hence, my team and I hope to lessen the difficulty and shorten the choice period for you.

How to Fly Your Kid Solo, Free of Stress

An illustration of children flying solo on the airplane.

By Alexander Nazaryan

For many parents and guardians, putting a child on a flight alone may seem terrifying. Belligerent passengers, delays, turbulence: All loom large in a caregiver’s imagination.

Life sometimes leaves no other option. Hudson Crites , 17, of Marshall, Va., was 10 when he started flying unaccompanied to visit his father in Kansas and later Georgia, said his mother, Chelsea Tippett. But the extra attention from airline staff made Hudson “feel special,” Ms. Tippett recalls. Other than a single tarmac delay, he has had no problems.

On rare occasions, children have had troubling experiences. In December, Spirit Airlines accidentally flew a 6-year-old to Orlando, Fla., instead of the intended destination of Fort Myers. Spirit apologized, fired the gate agent responsible and offered reimbursement to the boy’s grandmother for her travel to Orlando. But while the boy was unharmed, his grandmother expressed worry that he had been kidnapped .

If you decide to fly your child unaccompanied, you’ll discover that each airline has its own procedures, fees and routes open to children. While some may find the process complicated, flying alone may be exciting for your child, instilling some independence. Here’s what you need to know.

Before you book, know the process

Regardless of the airline or route, flying an unaccompanied minor differs from an adult or a family catching a flight. Airlines require a trusted pre-authorized adult to be at the departure and arrival gates, and will ask you at booking to provide contact information for those adults. They will also need to present identification at the terminals.

The journey begins at the originating airport’s airline ticket counter. There, airline staff will check your identification and check in the child, perhaps handing them a lanyard or wristband to wear. The agents will provide you with a pass to get through security with your child. You will accompany them to the gate, where you will hand them off to a gate agent. You must stay at the gate until the plane takes off.

In the air, the flight crew will keep watch — but will not babysit, or sit with, your child. If the flight has a connection, a crew member will walk your child off the plane and a gate agent will take him or her to the next gate.

At the arrival airport, the child will be handed off by staff to the authorized guardian or parent who should have already checked in at the ticket counter with proper identification, gone through security with their gate pass and be waiting at the gate.

To learn more about this process, read the Department of Transportation’s online guide, “When Kids Fly Alone,” followed by the website of your selected carrier.

Choosing an airline and paying an extra fee

Before purchasing a ticket, experts advise you to consider an airline’s on-time performance. “Solid on-time performance is hard-earned, and signals a carrier that has tight control of its operation,” said the Ask the Pilot author, Patrick Smith. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has those numbers.

Booking procedures vary. Delta Air Lines and American Airlines require you to call. United Airlines allows bookings online. JetBlue Airways does online bookings, too, but asks for three printed copies of its forms upon arrival at the airport.

International flights may call for a notarized consent letter describing where the child is traveling, with whom they’ll stay and how long they’ll be there.

On top of the ticket fare, flying an unaccompanied minor can be pricey.

Southwest Airlines charges $100 one way for each child, regardless of distance. Alaska Airlines charges $50 per child if the flight is nonstop; a connection adds $25. On Delta, one $150 fee will cover up to four children, and American’s $150 covers all siblings, with no cap on number. United charges $150 for one child, or two children flying together.

Restrictions: There are plenty

U.S. carriers allow children to fly as unaccompanied minors once they turn 5 and before they turn 18. But regardless of your child’s age, make sure he or she is ready by discussing the trip details and your expectations of their behavior. No policy can replace your judgment.

The low-cost carriers Frontier Airlines and Allegiant Air don’t allow unaccompanied minors, Other airlines have restrictions that, in the broadest terms, differentiate between young children and teenagers. American and Delta restrict children under 8 from routes requiring connections. Both airlines allow children between 8 and 14 to take some connecting flights.

On American, no unaccompanied minor is allowed to take an overnight flight requiring a connection, or a flight that includes a connection on its final leg that also happens to be the last such flight that day (“unless it’s the only flight,” the company adds). Minors are not allowed on code-share flights.

United and Delta have similar rules. Southwest, JetBlue and Spirit don’t allow unaccompanied minors on connecting flights.

JetBlue prohibits minors from flying to Europe, and limits the number of unaccompanied minors in one party to three. Spirit does not allow children on flights to Central or South America. Southwest doesn’t allow children on any international flights. American, United and Delta let minors fly abroad, but restrictions on connections, code-shares and overnights limit options.

American and Delta allow children to opt out of flying as unaccompanied minors once they turn 15 — that is, the child can fly without the assistance of airline personnel. JetBlue ends unaccompanied minor service at 14, while Alaska has an opt-out option at 13. Southwest boasts the lowest opt-out age: 12.

However, you should be able to accompany your child to the gate even if they’re not flying unaccompanied. American requires that you do so for teens between the ages of 15 and 17, even if they’ve opted out.

What to pack

Have a plan to head off your child’s hunger, boredom and thirst. If they are older, make sure they have emergency money and a charged phone.

When her two daughters, then 9 and 11, flew to Denver, Joey Conover of Charlottesville, Va., had a long list for their carry-ons.

“Pack a backpack with iPad, headphones, lightweight book to read, a pad of paper and colored pencils (markers might smear), a small travel game, water bottle (bring empty and fill in airport), snacks, some kind of surprise fidget or animals to play with, hoodie, and a lovey,” she wrote in an email.

“Write your name and phone number on the inside of their arm in Sharpie and put a parent’s business card in a luggage tag on both suitcase and backpack,” Ms. Conover said. (A sheet of paper with all their identification, and their guardian’s contact information, also works. Simply stick in an easy-to-access pocket.)

Homeland Security Investigations Lights Up Louisiana for New Outreach Campaign, National Child Abuse Prevention Month

NEW ORLEANS — In recognition of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s new national Know2Protect™ outreach campaign and National Child Abuse Prevention Month , Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New Orleans is working with public and private sector organizations to encourage safe online practices for children.

Through this partnership with HSI, state landmarks including the Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans and the Capitol building in Baton Rouge displayed the Know2Protect campaign colors April 17 and 18 to help promote public awareness.

Photo of the Caesar's Superdome lit up in Know2Protect colors.

Know2Protect is a DHS campaign designed to educate and empower children, teens, parents, trusted adults and policymakers to fight against online child sexual exploitation and abuse. In the last decade, this crime has increased exponentially and is now a global epidemic. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children receives 80,000 daily reports of suspected child sexual abuse material.

“The new Know2Protect campaign shines a light on a horrific crime that has become unfortunately all too common. Online predators are a real, potent threat with sometimes unfettered access to our nation’s children,” said HSI New Orleans acting Special Agent in Charge Eric DeLaune. “With its unique authorities and responsibilities, HSI special agents are positioned to combat online child exploitation, both here at home and internationally. Working with our community and law enforcement partners, HSI will leverage the Know2Protect initiative to inform parents, youth, and educators about the dangers of online predators, and offer guidance and best practices to navigate the online realm.”

HSI is a global leader in combating online child sexual exploitation and abuse. It’s committed to using its vast authorities, international footprint and strong government and nongovernment partnerships to identify and rescue child victims, apprehend offenders, prevent transnational child sexual abuse and help make the internet a safer place for children.

The lack of public understanding about online child sexual exploitation and abuse, coupled with increased technology use among children and teens, has created space for these crimes to flourish. Despite the collaborative efforts of HSI and law enforcement partners, online child sexual exploitation and abuse is growing at an alarming rate and law enforcement cannot arrest its way out of this crisis.

“Louisiana State Police is dedicated to working alongside our local, state and federal partners to rescue victims and apprehend those involved in the exploitation of children,” said Louisiana State Police Superintendent Col. Robert P. Hodges. “Ensuring the safety and protection of our most vulnerable population remains a priority for our agency and our state.”

The Know2Protect campaign seeks to address this challenge through education, prevention and intervention. It will rely on the expertise and authority of HSI special agents, working in concert with partners, to find online predators and bring them to justice. It will also spread awareness about these global threats, share preventive strategies to stop future victimization, empower the public to report suspected abuse and support survivors of online child sexual exploitation and abuse.

“Child abuse in any form will not be tolerated by me or my office. Our Cyber Crime Unit specializes in protecting the children of Louisiana from online exploitation. This problem of child sexual abuse carries over from the internet into our homes. The number of online child exploitation cases that our agency has received is terrifying, and that number has been exponentially increasing over the past few years. We saw an almost 100% increase in cases from 2022, when we reached a record number of a little under 11,000 cases,” said Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill. “It is critical that parents be involved in protecting their child’s digital footprint and monitoring their behaviors online. Just as the internet provides a child a window to the outside world, it also allows the outside world to see or access our children. If you believe your child has been a victim of online exploitation, call the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office Cyber Crime Unit at 225-326-6100 or file an online report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children .”

HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free tip line at 866-347-2423 , which is staffed around the clock. From outside the United States and Canada, callers should dial 802-872-6199 . Hearing impaired users may call TTY 802-872-6196 .

HSI is the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, responsible for investigating transnational crime and threats, specifically those criminal organizations that exploit the global infrastructure through which international trade, travel and finance move. HSI’s workforce of more than 8,700 employees consists of more than 6,000 special agents assigned to 237 cities throughout the United States, and 93 overseas locations in 56 countries. HSI’s international presence represents the Department of Homeland Security’s largest investigative law enforcement presence abroad and one of the largest international footprints in U.S. law enforcement.

What to consider when choosing kids' luggage

When shopping for luggage for kids, there are a few key factors to consider to ensure you choose the best option for your child.

"When I am shopping for kids’ luggage, I look for items that are lightweight with a lot of pockets," said Miner. "I like to organize the children’s items as this helps them to keep track of their stuff."

Miner's four kids prefer "luggage with wheels," and Akpan agreed.

"Not all luggage rolls easily," she said. "And if my kid is having a hard time with their luggage, I have to step in to help, which is hard when you have multiple kids and have to pull your own luggage. With that being said, the luggage must have four wheels that can roll 360 in any direction."

External pockets are another essential feature, Miner says, "because it makes it easy to access their tablets, books, and snacks."

Durability is also paramount, as children can be rough with their belongings.

"My son is constantly throwing his luggage around, sitting on it, and riding through the airport and all sorts," said Akpan. Given this advice, looking for luggage made from sturdy materials that can withstand bumps and rough handling is best.

Functionality is important, so opt for suitcases with easy-to-use features like smooth-rolling wheels, a retractable handle, and multiple compartments for organized packing. Additionally, consider the size and weight of the luggage, making sure it is appropriate for your child's age and strength.

Lastly, personalization and design can make a big difference in your child's excitement for their luggage, so choose a style or theme that resonates with them and adds a fun element to their travel experience. By keeping these factors in mind, you can select the perfect luggage for your little traveler.

Youngsville Man and Former Educator Sentenced to Federal Prison on Child Pornography Charge

LAFAYETTE, La. – Angel Rafael Cardona , 35, of Youngsville, Louisiana, was sentenced today on child pornography charges, announced United States Attorney Brandon B. Brown. United States District Judge David C. Joseph sentenced Cardona to 120 months (10 years) in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release.

Cardona was charged in an indictment with one count of using a facility to cause a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity and he pleaded guilty to the charge in January of this year. Evidence in this case revealed that in June 2023, Cardona began communicating through Whisper, an online chat application, with a user who identified as a 13-year-old female. Unbeknownst to Cardona, the user was an undercover law enforcement agent. Cardona sent a direct message to the user inquiring about a post she had made about summer school. Two days later, Cardona asked the user if they had an account on another online chat site and the agent responded that they did have a Kik account, and he then contacted the undercover minor female through that application. These communications between the two continued from June 8, 2023, to July 10, 2023, until the user told Cardona that the Kik application kept crashing and to contact her through text message and provided a phone number. The text messages between Cardona and the undercover agent continued through July 24, 2023.

Conversations about sex, sexual experiences, and the undercover agent’s body were brought up by Cardona throughout this time period. On numerous occasions, the undercover agent made reference to her age of 13. The conversations regarding her sexual inexperience increased over time becoming more graphic and detailed. Eventually, Cardona began asking the undercover agent for pictures of herself and asked for images containing sexual material. On July 11 and 13, 2023, Cardona specifically and explicitly asked for the undercover agent to produce and send him child pornography. The undercover agent gave excuses of her mother’s presence in the home for not complying and Cardona instructed her to be sneaky about it in order to create the images.

He brought up the idea of meeting in person on numerous occasions and eventually they agreed to meet at Veterans Park in Lafayette on July 24, 2023. The defendant admitted that he intended to meet the person he believed to be a minor female for the purpose of engaging in some form of sexual activity that would be a crime under the laws of the state of Louisiana.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys J. Luke Walker and Craig R. Bordelon.

This case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a U.S. Department of Justice nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood combines federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

EPA Announces a $425,000 Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem Solving Grant to Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation

April 25, 2024

DALLAS, TEXAS (April 25, 2024) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is announcing the Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation (CELF) is receiving $425,616 to advance their goal of cultivating a society of individuals with a deep understanding of the dynamic interdependencies between human and natural systems. This project will develop the next generation of environmental justice advocates, equipped with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) skills to protect local watersheds and enhance climate resilience through school-community collaboration.

“Science, technology, engineering, arts, and math have always been the core of student education, and with this funding we will see students use these skills to develop innovative climate resilience strategies in collaboration with their communities,” said Regional Administrator Dr. Earthea Nance. “The Greater Houston area faces multiple challenges including extreme weather, environmental justice, and the energy transition. Diverse ways of knowing will be needed, so it is crucial that we help equip the next generation with knowledge in all of these disciplines. I would like to thank our partners for this event, especially the Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation for prioritizing children’s health and education.”

“I am thrilled that the EPA is investing in the children of Houston, inspiring the next generation of environmental justice leaders to build safe and healthy neighborhoods for all,” said Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia. “From field trips into our local waterways to fun, hands-on experiments about air quality and water testing, these federal funds are going to have a lasting impact on the students and teachers in low-income areas in my district.”

"Having the support of the EPA in advancing this important work is key to demonstrating that the U.S. is serious about pursuing a clean and healthy environment for all of us. In awarding this grant, the EPA is recognizing the critical roles that teachers, students, and impacted communities play in defining what a more sustainable future can look like,” said Executive Director Tara Ocansey of Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation.

“This project will help area students explore the world around them while nurturing their interest in environmental sustainability and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects, which aligns perfectly with the mission of Rice’s Office of STEM Engagement,” said Carolyn Nichol, Director of the Rice Office of STEM Engagement. “The students will connect with Rice researchers, grad students and scientists to help collect data and interpret it, and there will be additional opportunities to engage their teachers on our campus. We’re extraordinarily grateful for this support from the EPA.”

“The Galveston Bay Foundation has worked for almost 37 years to preserve and enhance the Galveston Bay region through our efforts in habitat restoration, land conservation, water protection, environmental advocacy, and environmental STEM education. This project directly correlates with our education goals to instill knowledge and appreciation of the Galveston Bay ecosystem, inspire participants to break down barriers and open themselves to new experiences, and empower students to become life-long advocates for a resilient Galveston Bay. Along with connecting with students during field data collection, we look forward to hosting teacher and administrator professional development retreats at our Trinity Bay Discovery Center in Beach City where educators will have the ability to explore and experience Galveston Bay in a whole new way while learning how to incorporate place-based education in their classrooms. Providing such experiences to their teachers ensures that this learning will extend far beyond the life of this grant,” said Cindy Wilems, Director of Education, Galveston Bay Foundation.

The Children's Environmental Literacy Foundation launched in 2003 with the mission to establish sustainability as an integral part of every child's K-12 learning experience. Since initiating their program for Houston in 2019, CELF Houston’s Education for Sustainability and Civic Science programs have reached over 1,000 teachers and administrators, and over 36,000 students in Texas. This latest project will engage Title 1 middle and high schools in economically disadvantaged communities of Greater Houston and will deliver training focused on facilitating data collection and analysis while raising awareness of watershed stewardship strategies and solutions. The project will last three years and include several school districts, such as Channelview Independent School District, Aldine Independent School District, Houston Independent School District, and Pasadena Independent School District. CELF will also collaborate with several core partners such as Channelview ISD, Galveston Bay Foundation, and Rice University to engage with several community partners and parents through public educations events. The overall goal of this project is for students to use their skills and knowledge to contribute on local environmental justice issues and propose future climate resilience strategies for their communities.

The Greater Houston area has experienced major flooding events in recent years and has a significant number of underserved communities. Underserved communities are prone to disproportionate levels of pollution and climate change issues. With this funding and with CELF’s assistance, we are providing the resources for the next generation to identify pollution problems and develop innovation solutions that can be solved by community collaboration.

This grant reflects President Biden’s Investing in America commitment to tackling environmental justice and the climate crisis. Many communities with environmental justice concerns carry a disproportionate environmental and human health burden from environmental injustices. As part of Investing in America, EPA Region 6 announced over $1.4 billion that went directly into environmentally high-risk communities, which has created jobs, preserved critical natural resources, and encouraged environmental practices to maintain climate resilience.
