Is there someplace high up you could but the BAD stuff, like swap with a high cabinet? We have the cord locks and at 2.5 my LO CAN open then if she really tries but she isn't that interested. When it was more dangerous she couldn't figure it out. We have a combo of the cords, adhesive side by side locks, and the inside screw in type that you have to push down.

Other than the cabinets, we babyproofed some sharp corners and removed a couple of low shelves that should could fall or climb on and put up a baby gate to block off the entry way where there was more stuff we didn't want her to get into. We just closed the doors to bathrooms. Lucky for us she was slow to figure out door knobs!

@Littlebit7: it will be a while before she is tall enough or coordinated enough to do the door latches- but yeah then you are kind of stuck. Hopefully you can just teach her to stay out. Fwiw once my LO figured out door knobs, we put a cover on the one to our bedroom and she figured it out in a day.

For those cabinets I think the screw in inside kind is your only option. Or putting safe things in there but I hear you on only so much cabinet space. You can't see the hook things from the outside at all.

No it's just the old school plastic kind, like these. They are annoying but we only needed them for two cabinets, the rest are side by side.

We have lever door handles and use the monkey locks from Amazon on all the interior doors including our hall closet and bathrooms, so we didn't have to separately baby proof the toilets and what not. They are also easily moved around and we take them when we travel too.

For rooms he is allowed to wander into we got these foam hands to prevent him from pinching his fingers:

For our gas fireplace, we just taped it shut with clear packing tape and never use it.

We have a chain on our front door and we have the back sliding glass door always locked. We installed those hook things to wrap up the blind cords so they are out of reach.

Kitchen cabinets we did drill those plastic hook latches inside but even they open a few inches so DS is always digging his hands around in there and recently poured out a sack of sugar all over the kitchen floor so we keep a chair up against that cabinet.

Although I haven't tried this a suggestion someone gave me was to give my son one drawer and one cabinet he can open up and dig around in filled with safe objects like linens and Tupperware or even play food so that it directs his curiosity to a single place, instead of him trying to dig through all the cabinets. My SIL does this and her son makes a bee line to the tupperwares every night while she cooks. I decided to get a learning tower up against our island instead.

When we go to my parents, those cabinets next to the oven, I tape up with more clear packing tape. It's not foolproof but buys me enough time to stop him.

I really think the level of proofing you need depends on your child. DD1 did it a few times and lost interest. We never did much proofing with her. DD2 gets into EVERYTHING. She looks at me with a glint in her eye and will get into trouble then she runs away giggling when I catch her.

I only did outlets and a couple of latches for cabinets with chemicals. I basically watched him all the time and stuff he could open was fair game...it worked fine for us.
