How Do I Childproof This?

My 10 month old son has learned how to turn on the water in the bathtub. We have a large knob that you pull out and turn either to the left for the hot water or the right for the cold water. My son is fascinated with this and the whole time he's in the bathtub I'm constantly pulling him away from the knob and sitting him back down on the other side of the tub.

Childproofing Cabinets - Recommendations Please

I'm looking for a recommendation in childproofing our cabinets and drawers. A friend highly recommended TOT LOCKS but it involves drilling deep into cabinets and their costly. My friend warned that they drilled too far, and she's heard it happening with others, and ruined their custom cabinets. There's also some problems with faulty keys to unlock the cabinets. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Childproofing Electrical Outlets in Use?

I have a television and DVD player mounted on the wall in the children's playroom. The problem is, the outlet they are plugged into is accessible to the children. I worry that the plugs could easily be pulled out leaving open outlets. I cannot put a piece of furniture in front of the outlet. (My son is a climber.) Is there some sort of childproofing device available I have not come across? TIA!

Stressing Out About Childproofing. Advice?

I live in a very small, cramped apartment that was my husband's before we got married. For years, he has been promising me we will move and then something comes up and he changes his mind. (It's cheap, btw, so it has something going for it.) Now he says we can move in February, when our baby will be 14 months. So I guess that means I should go ahead and fully childproof, but with such a small space, I don't know what to do! I have put as much stuff into a storage unit as I can, but I can't get rid of or store everything! Moms with...

Ugh...childproof Latches That Actually Work!??

My adorable yet mischievous 9 month old loves exploring my cabinets,of course there are some that need to be off limits. Problem is I have bought three diff types of locks and none of them work. One was a slider that he got off with ease, another had the zip ties with tiny buttons that frustrated me and my husband so much we took them off the first day, and the last had two open hooks that slide was too narrow for my knob's spacing. Recommendations please!!!
