Childproofing - product recs?

E&D07E&D07
in Missouri Babies

DS is still quite a while away from needing the house childproofed, but we're going to have a 1-yr-old visiting us in  a few weeks, and I thought we should  at least get some cabinet locks & stair gates. I would appreciate recs for what has or hasn't worked for you!

 -Any preferences on cabinet locks? We don't have many low cabinets, and all the doors & drawers in our bathroom (although not the guest/child bathroom, which is strange) already have the permanent adhesive latches installed (like this). They are okay but I'm not averse to getting another kind if they work better.

- Outlet cover suggestions? I've been in some houses where you practically have to break a nail to unwedge one, which is good to keep out the babies, but kind of a PITA for outlets that would regularly be used by adults.


-Baby gate preferences? We have a split level house, so there are 2 stairways...will we need gates at the top & bottom of each?

I know BRU sells some of this stuff, but would Lowe's/Home Depot be a cheaper place to look for outlet covers & cabinet locks?

 

Thanks!

    We have the same kind of cabinet locks as you showed.  We have a spit level too, and we just have a gate at the top of our upper level.  We really don't use our basement much though.
