New parents or parents of young kids need a lot of things to help make the house safe and welcome for their children. Kids of a certain age can become very curious and active and are likely to get into everything. That means the adults in the house have to keep a constant vigil. When we are looking for gifts for these parents, they will appreciate if we choose some gifts that can help with the ‘child proofing’ of the house. This kind, thoughtful, and essential gift will be well appreciated by new parents.

Here are some great ideas for gifts for the parents of young kids.

We occasionally read stories about younger kids and toddlers getting out of the house without their parents knowing about it. This alert system will let us know when someone opens a window or door. This works using a reed switch that attaches to the door or window frame. A magnet attaches to the door or window itself. When opened, the sensor activates and the receiver chime is triggered. This system has up to 1000 ft of operating range which will cover many doors and windows. The kit is compatible with up to 20 more extra receivers and sensors, so it will work with practically any sized home. Installation is easy.
Another door that needs protection does not lead to the outside, but rather to the interior of a cabinet. These magnetic locks will child proof cabinets and drawers. No need to drill as these work with a strong and durable adhesive tape. They are out of sight, so they don’t interfere with the look of the cabinet. There is an on/off switch as well.
These are replacement keys for magnetic cabinet locks. They work with all the major brands of locks that are up to 2 inches. With these there won’t be any worry about misplacing the keys. All that is needed is to touch these to the surface of the cabinet or drawer to disengage the lock.
Here is another method for securing our homes from inquisitive kids. These are extra durable and multipurpose. These attach without any tools and will not damage fixtures. They can be used on refrigerators, cabinets, drawers, ovens, and dishwashers. They can are useful in the bathroom to secure cabinets and the toilet seat.
While gifts for child proofing can be appreciated, what is also helpful is to anticipate birthdays. This dinosaur happy birthday banner is a great decoration for a child’s party. It comes completely assembled, which is one less headache for busy parents. It is made from heavy card stock and ribbon, which makes it durable. It can easily be reused for many birthdays to come.

These are all great gifts for parents of active toddlers and exploring young kids. They will appreciate having things that help to make the home safer.
