Being totally honest, the cabinet locks were not a ''major'' Shy-Shy or Shy concern for me. I was/am more concerned about the big stuff. My first Registered User child years ago turned a dresser over on herself. Luckily she was not Joined: Wednesday, 12th of May 2010, 22:13:47 hurt. After that every thing taller than she was, was bolted to the wall. Posts: 317 We also put an attachment onto our stove (behind & underneath it) so that Viewed 12429 times if she ever stood on the door of it, it wouldn't tip over & squash her. As
far as the cabinets went I didn't have locks on all them, I just made sure
that any & all the dangerous stuff was in the top shelves.
I hope this helps & good luck

you dont really need them until they are at the crawling stage. poochie this should give you enough time to look into it and see what fits best for Registered User you and your cabinets since not all are the same. good luck with Baby!
