Toilets, bathtubs and buckets

A baby can drown in just 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of water. A curious toddler can fall into a toilet, bucket or fish tank. Consider these precautions:

• Keep the bathroom door closed. Install a safety latch or doorknob cover on the outside of the door.
• Supervise bath time. Never leave a child alone in the bathtub or in the care of another child. Drain water from the tub immediately after use.
• Shut toilet lids. Consider installing childproof locks on lids.
• Store buckets safely. Empty buckets and other containers immediately after use. Don't leave them outside, where they might accumulate water.
