childproofed
Made toddler-safe
Childproofed describes something modified to prevent young children from accessing dangers or causing harm.
Electrical outlets get childproofed with plastic covers, cabinets with safety latches, medicine bottles with caps requiring dexterity to open.
We childproofed the whole house before the baby started crawling.
The term extends figuratively to anything simplified or sanitized for safety.
