For parents who have\u00a0handles on\u00a0their\u00a0drawers instead of knobs, use a tension rod vertically through all\u00a0of them, so all\u00a0drawers\u00a0are\u00a0secured at the same time.\u00a0Our experts recommend getting tension rods with rubber ends.

As all parents know, a\u00a0magnetic\u00a0lock does wonders for your inquisitive tot!\u00a0They\u2019re\u00a0super effective at keeping kitchen, bedroom and bathroom drawers firmly closed.\u00a0Best of all,\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0durable\u00a0yet\u00a0discreet. This means for all the aesthetic-obsessed mamas out\u00a0there;\u00a0appearance and safety can be achieved in one!\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
For parents who have\u00a0handles on\u00a0their\u00a0drawers instead of knobs, use a tension rod vertically through all\u00a0of them, so all\u00a0drawers\u00a0are\u00a0secured at the same time.\u00a0Our experts recommend getting tension rods with rubber ends. This way your tot\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be able to pull the rod out!\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
A single-lock system for multiple drawers saves the day!\u00a0You can do this with an adjustable lock. Just attach one end to the side of the counter,\u00a0and the other to the front of the drawer.\u00a0No matter how\u00a0smart your\u00a0tot may be,\u00a0there\u2019ll\u00a0be no way of them getting into\u00a0your drawers with these nifty locks!\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
Latch locks\u00a0will always stand the test of time!\u00a0First,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0need to\u00a0fit\u00a0a latch near the top of the drawer. This will then\u00a0hook\u00a0on\u00a0top of a special piece of plastic,\u00a0that you\u2019ll have\u00a0attached\u00a0above\u00a0it.\u00a0When the latch catches, the drawers\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be\u00a0able\u00a0to be pulled open\u00a0by your babe \u2013 hooray!\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
