Remember that while something might not be within reach for a crawling or pulling-to-stand baby, it might become within reach when they are in an exersaucer, walker, high chair, or anything else that increases the height of their reach. Consider installing a switch cover to prevent the switch from being accidentally flipped, or unplugging the disposal entirely (under the sink). The garbage disposal, if your kitchen is equipped with one, may very well be the most dangerous switch in your entire house.Nothing you can really do about this other than disabling it - most have a child lock feature that you can enable.

For babyproofing oven and stove knobs, we recommend the Safety 1st knob covers that work really well to keep curious babies and toddlers from turning the knobs.

For babyproofing the oven door and dishwasher door, we recommend the Munchkin ExtraGuard Latches that work really well for any appliances that are within your baby's reach.
