Safeguard Bath Time With A Splash Of Protection Using This Adorable Bathtub Safety Spout Guard

Safeguard Bath Time With A Splash Of Protection Using This Adorable Bathtub Safety Spout Guard

Review: "I got this for my son's bath so he doesn't bump his head on the faucet. It works perfectly - the material of the whale is like a smooth silicone that fits around the faucet great. It does wiggle around the faucet a bit, but I could adjust it to be tighter. It just doesn't bother me that it wiggles. It definitely makes his bath time safer." - Amber

Feeling more relaxed already? Well, buckle up (safely, of course), because we're just getting started on this journey through the land of ultimate child safety. As we explore more clever contraptions, you'll discover that being an overprotective parent doesn't mean you have to wrap your kids in bubble wrap - although we might have something similar on the list.

Only works on specific kinds of windows, and completely pointless because the window could just be smashed.

Keep Tiny Hands In Tow With A Secure And Gentle Wrist Leash

Keep Tiny Hands In Tow With A Secure And Gentle Wrist Leash

Review: "My husband and two young children had to fly across the country for a funeral recently. I couldn’t go and was worried about him keeping up with two backpacks, his briefcase, and two curious little boys while racing through the airport to catch their connecting flights. So I bought these and they worked perfectly. He attached his loops to his belt and the boys stayed close but didn’t fuss. My husband said that lots of people commented on the “bracelets” and how much they liked the idea." - Pooka

See I think these are a good idea (we also had harnesses as kids!), but I know I'd get absolute hell for them in Germany.

Secure Their Little Ones From Accidental Falls And Slips With Sliding Window & Door Wedge Locks

Secure Their Little Ones From Accidental Falls And Slips With Sliding Window & Door Wedge Locks

Review: "I’m so glad I found these. It makes me feel a bit safer. The Velcro stickum can re-stick well if you move it to a new spot. It doesn’t stick as well to the plastic piece. That’s the only annoying part. When I have to move them up or off the Velcro comes off too. I think it can be glued down, so I’m going to try that. Otherwise, these are really great." - Ms Kitty

Not just to stop your kid tugging the cords and annoying you, but - much more importantly - to stop them from strangling themselves.
