baby-proofing
Making home safe
Baby-proofing is making a space safe for infants and toddlers by removing hazards and adding protective devices.
Parents baby-proof by covering electrical outlets, installing cabinet locks, and gating stairs: We spent the weekend baby-proofing before the twins started crawling.
The concept extends to any preparation for vulnerable users: baby-proofing the software interface.
