If you want to know if furniture with drawers and cabinets is a tip-over hazard, open up all the draws and cabinets and see if the furniture is still stable when you pull it toward you.
By pulling out all the drawers and cabinets, the center of gravity shifts considerably and even large, heavy pieces of furniture can become very unstable. Children often pull out all the drawers and open furniture cabinets while playing so it is imperative to strap all furniture that is a tip-over hazard to the wall with the proper hardware.
Furniture without cabinets and drawers that tend to be tall, narrow or both are almost always tip-over hazards and also need to be strapped down.

You may have read about the tragic death of former boxer Mike Tyson’s 4-year old daughter who accidently wrapped her neck around a cord connected to an exercise treadmill. Each year, children are injured and sometimes killed from cords with loops or from cords that can form loops if caught or become twisted. It is important to inspect your entire home for cords or ropes that form hanging loops or that could get twisted and become a hanging hazard.

It is often impractical to unplug a piece of exercise equipment after every use, so parental supervision is vital. Limit your child's access to exercise equipment. Keep the door shut and locked if you can, and if you have to leave the room, take the child with you. Window treatment cords are another source of danger. To prevent accidents, parents should tie up any cords from blinds or curtains, high enough out of a child's reach, and make sure there is no furniture placed close by that would invite little ones to climb. A good resource for window cord safety is. Check the electrical cords on baby monitor cords that dangle down into outlets – these can be dangerous if there is slack in the cord and the camera is mounted higher up.
Go through your home room by room and look at all electrical cord and rope material to determine if it is a potential hanging hazard. Remember children love to climb and jump so anything that can wrap around a child’s neck can be dangerous under the right circumstances. Now that the weather is warming, people begin to open windows to cool the home. Many windows have screens on them that people believe will keep their child from falling out the window. SCREENS WILL NOT KEEP YOUR CHILD FROM FALLING OUT A WINDOW. In accidents where children fall out of windows, it is usually because an adult opened the window, not the child.
While you can install window bars, other options include installing window locks that will prevent the window from opening more than 4 inches. Every window above the first floor that is opened should have some type of secondary window stops.
For the minimal cost, we actually recommend every window in the house have them since they do add a real layer of security to the house, not just for the child but to make robbery a little more difficult. Below are just a few options you have to make your windows safer. All of these options allow you to open the window fully and relatively easily in the event of a fire or gas leak.

The controls of the machine were located 20 inches from the floor and her 15-month-old brother switched it on either by bumping against it or pushing a button. Kayley was in the water-filled tumbling machine for at least two minutes before her mother found her.
The police said the mother did not know why Kayley climbed inside the washing machine and it is unclear whether the brother and sister were playing. The little girl was rushed to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo where she was pronounced dead. In light of this tragedy, Baby Boundaries proposes two child safety solutions to keep your children away from your washer and dryer. First, keep them away from the utility room by installing a lock on your utility room door. There is a new latch designed to automatically lock when you close the door and can be opened by an adult from either side of the door, making it ideal for a room that you go in and out of frequently (see below). Second, if the washer/dryer is accessible create another boundary by installing a front load washer/dryer lock like the one pictured below.
