"The only way to make sure your child is completely safe is to watch them 24 hours a day. However, that is hardly practical." said Wolf, a child safety advocate. "The next best thing is to implement good childproofing techniques and then routinely inspect your child's environment. This will greatly reduce the risk of danger for your young child." In order to make childproofing as simple as possible, On the Safe Side includes:
- An expanded table of contents to provide easy access to information
- Room-by-room childproofing tips
