Baby Safety & Monitors

Baby safety brings the baby-proofing basics and video monitors together in one place.

Corner guards come in clear or colored silicone, as T, L or round shapes, plus soft edge strips for table and shelf edges. Magnetic cabinet locks fit without drilling, and foam door stoppers keep doors from closing on fingers. Head protection cushions in animal styles are worn like a small backpack while babies learn to crawl and walk. Video baby monitors include a camera with Wi-Fi alerts and models with their own screen, night vision and two-way talk.

Walk through each room at your baby's height to see which edges, doors and cabinets need cover first. Check the screen size, the connection type and the alerts when you compare monitors.

Baby safety questions

When should I start baby-proofing?

Before your baby starts to crawl, usually around 6 months, is a good time. Cover table corners, low cabinets and doors first.

Do I need Wi-Fi for a video baby monitor?

Not always. Monitors with their own screen work without Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi camera sends alerts to your phone, so check each listing for how it connects.
