Childproofing

Childproofing is the act of making an environment or object safe for children. This reduces risks to a level considered acceptable by a society, an institution, or to specific parents. Childproofing may include restriction of children to safe areas or preventing children from reaching unsafe areas.

This can be accomplished by the parent or by hiring a professional for assistance.
Childproofing is gaining more prominence now that parents have greater access to information on child injury and a wide variety of products are available to help prevent it.
It has become the top-of-mind for parents so much so that hotels and child-friendly resorts are offering "child-proof" rooms.
