How parents avoid accidents and ensure more child safety in the garage and toddler play yard

Climbing frames, swings, seesaws and slides are to be anchored in the ground so that they are child-proof during assembly and their stability is to be checked regularly.

When planting in the garden, seek advice from a specialist so as not to accidentally reach for a poisonous plant. There are enough plants that look beautiful and are non-toxic.

To prevent accidents, it is best to secure the garage with a fence and non-slip shore reinforcements.

Garden sheds in which dangerous equipment, ladders and toxic substances are stored must be locked off in a childproof manner. It is just as important to put away these devices and resources immediately after use and not to leave them in the garage.

Garden hoses are a trip hazard when lying around. To avoid accidents, roll the hose back onto the drum immediately after use.
