As parents, we all want to make sure our children are safe. We do our best to baby proof and child proof our houses – but even with all of our best intentions, most of us will overlook something. Can you spot the risks in the video below in just five seconds?

How many did you find? I’ll admit it... in five seconds I was only able to find six… I know I would have been able to find more if I were given more time… but that’s just it – there wasn’t more time and babies and curious toddlers move fast!
As the video states, laundry pacs are a hazard that can be overlooked. Our friends and sponsors at Tide are working hard to create awareness on keeping laundry pacs up and closed so we can keep our kids and kids that may be visiting our homes safe. They also have taken it one step further with the development of the new Child-Guard TM Zipper that is currently being phased into stores nationwide. The Child-Guard TM Zipper is available for both Tide Pods and Gain Flings. This packaging is specifically designed for families with young children in mind. Here’s my video demonstrating the Child-Guard TM Zipper.

I am absolutely in love with the Child-Guard TM zipper and I really believe it will be easy for busy parents to use and a huge deterrent for curious toddlers and children!
But… if an oversight does happen and your child does put a laundry pac in his or her mouth please, please call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. In fact, why not just save that number in your phone right now – you never know when you, a friend, a neighbor, or even a stranger may need it!
