Childproof Your Home

All My Sons of Jacksonville has done countless moves throughout the years, moving families in and out of homes. When children experience a move, the parents are typically even more sensitive to the moving and go through great lengths to make the child feel comfortable in his or her new environment. Plus, safety in the new house takes center stage. To help you with childproofing your new home, the Jacksonville movers have put together a little list of childproofing tips. First, make sure all of your smoke detectors in the new house work correctly. You might need new batteries or they might just be too old, if it’s an older home. Improve your air quality around the house and clean out the air ducts before you move in. You can also install a new air filter that will collect the dust particles and allergens as well and ensure healthier air for the entire family. Secure your windows with metal guards and be careful of the cords on your blinds, these can be very dangerous for kids if they choose to play with them. Be aware of the furniture you have. Some might have very sharp edges and kids can bump into them. As a general rule though, if you have younger children, they should always be supervised.
