Home Shoppers with kids—or who hope to have kids soon—should be aware of certain kid-friendly characteristics. Do you know all the things you should seek?
Radiators can be piping hot. This usually isn't a problem for children (unless they stumble), but for babies this is definitely an area that will need some caution.
Some older furnaces blow hot air up than can be dangerous for babies. It has happened that a toddler standing on a hot grate has had minor burns on the baby's feet.
Many parents are wary about buying a detached on a busy intersection, to prevent their kids from chasing a kickball into traffic. For this reason, the ideal selection is a street with no through traffic.
But here's what's generally overlooked: sidewalks. They offer an extra layer of safety, since they provide a buffer between cars and kids at play, and are crucial during the roller-blade or stroller phase. A sidewalk is a great place for a game of hopscotch or a walk with the family.
