Risk of falling from height

Injuries caused by a fall from height can be quite serious if safety precautions are not taken. Child falls from a low, medium or high height are a common cause for parents to present themselves to the emergency rooms. Falling or tripping is a natural part of a child's development, but we need to take care that those falls do not cause serious, life-threatening injuries or death.

We identify and prevent the risks of injury from falling from height by using certain shock-absorbing materials, crib and furniture protectors, etc. We choose furniture with rounded edges and discard the dangerous ones or make it "friendly" and less dangerous.

• Do not leave the child unattended on a chair, table or other high bodies
• We do not leave chairs, tables or other pieces of furniture under the windowsill. You can climb on them and reach the window.
• Don't buy stepped furniture in your baby's room, it will climb and there is a risk of falling. All furniture should be firmly fixed to the wall, including the TV, if there is one. (TV is not recommended in a small child's room)
• Do not leave windows or balcony doors unsecured.
• We install locking systems on the balcony door and on the windows, so that the child cannot open it even from the lowered position;
• Secure stairways, if any. Small children should not have unsupervised access to the stairs, we install locking gates. Teach them from an early age, when they are ready, to go up and down the stairs, but always supervised.
• Do not leave small children unattended in an adult's bed. If the toddler sleeps alone in bed, we place mattresses on the floor around the bed to prevent serious injury in case of a fall from the bed. We use these mattresses and preventive measures until the risk of falling is eliminated. Of course, there should be no sharp-edged furniture, chairs, hard objects in the area of the bed that can injure themselves.
