Review of Babyproofing Bible: The Exceedingly Thorough Guide to Keeping Your Child Safe From Crib to Kitchen to Car to Yard (Spiral-bound)

I found this book useless because they list every conceivable thing you could do to baby-proof your home if you want to be ULTRA ULTRA careful. I cannot imagine ANY parent or family that would do all the things listed in this book. Which makes it useless because it is impossible to tell from the book what the important things are. I understand that it is supposed to be "exceedingly thorough" but I found it to be exceedingly useless. Plus, if you do everything in this book, you will be totally paranoid, and spend all your time worrying and your child will probably be over-protected. I am all for taking important precautions and baby-proofing, but it is impossible to tell what those important precautions are in this book of ten million mostly useless precautions.

Product Description

More than just a guide to safety locks, stove guards, and baby gates, this book features 320 pages packed with hundreds of tips from parents, healthcare and child care workers, safety experts, and safety organizations.
