Jamestown, N.C. – Children become daring explorers as they learn to crawl and walk, getting their little fingers into all sorts of potential trouble.  According to SAFE USA™, approximately 90% of all poisonings happen in the home, and over 75% of these are the result of accidental ingestion by children between the ages of six months and five years.  For better or worse, children learn largely by watching and mimicking their parents and siblings actions – including removing medications, cleaning supplies, toys with small pieces, and tableware from closed cabinets.  While it is imperative that all potentially dangerous objects be kept out of reach of children, Dream Baby®’s Multi-Purpose Latch is an extra step to ensure your child will not gain access to cupboards and appliances.  

The Multi-Purpose Latch is flexible and can be used to secure a wide range of household furniture and appliances such as cabinet doors, drawers, fridges, toilets and more.  To install the latch, simply adhere the discs to both doors and affix the flexible latch to them.  The latch can be installed horizontally on doors or around corners on dishwashers and refrigerators, and can be removed and relocated without leaving residue!  Clear in color, this latch fits in with any décor seamlessly.

“Children learn through playing and investigating, they don’t go out looking to get themselves into trouble but sometimes it just happens,” explains Carolyn Ziegler of Dream Baby®.  “Most parents are mindful of certain dangers, but it’s the overlooked ones that can cause disastrous consequences in the blink of an eye.”

Dream Baby®’s Multi-Purpose Latch can help secure items in cupboards, breakables displayed in curio cabinets, electronic equipment, refrigerators/freezers, and even toilet bowls where a child can drown in as little as 1-inch of water.  Like the larger version, Dream Baby® also offers parents the option of a Mini Multi-Purpose Latch, which can help keep your little one away from potentially dangerous situations, fragile glassware and china in smaller cabinets.  Both of these latches are also perfect for securing keepsakes such as photo albums, scrap books or even precious artwork inside cabinets.  Those tempting and fun “tea parties,” using the good China can also be easily avoided.

Parents must remember to store medications and cleaning supplies well out of reach of children and must secure these cabinets for added security.

The Dream Baby® Multi-Purpose Latches are available in a pack of two, MSRP $5.95 to $6.95, nationally at www.babiesrus.com, www.target.com, www.sears.com, www.shop4kids.com and other specialty retail shops.
