Outlet & Edge Guards · Guide
Babyproofing on a budget
You don't need to spend a fortune to cover the biggest risks. Prioritize the high-impact, low-cost steps, then add the rest over time.
Start with the cheap high-impact items
Anti-tip anchors, a multipack of outlet covers, and cabinet latches cost little and address major hazards.
Add gates where needed
Gate the stairs and any truly off-limits room — this is worth the spend.
Layer in the rest
Edge guards, door knob covers, and a monitor can come next as budget allows.
