Chemicals<\/b>: When packing and moving<\/a>, be careful to put cleaning products and other chemicals away from a child’s reach. Transporting such chemicals and liquids should be one of the first things to move away. This can range from cleaning supplies to toiletries to laundry detergent to medications. Also, you may want to consider\u00a0child safety lids or\u00a0locks for such products.<\/span><\/p>\n Sharp Objects<\/strong>: Scissors, box cutters, knives and other sharp objects are likely to be used during the moving process, especially when unpacking boxes.\u00a0Instead of leaving such objects laying around, take the extra step to securely put them away. Also, consider putting sharp objects in an area you know will be far away from a child’s reach.<\/p>\n Furniture<\/b>: Move your furniture first, if possible. Dismantle your bookshelves, dressers, and cabinets and\u00a0pack their separate furniture pieces away. Also, cover your couches and chairs with a moving blanket before putting them into the moving truck. Moving out\u00a0the\u00a0large furniture early prevents the risk of your child harming the furniture or themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n Loose Cords and Outlets: <\/b>To\u00a0prevent any electrical accidents, safeguard your electric outlets with a cover. Dangling cords from lamps, electric chargers, and other devices should also be wrapped up to prevent any tripping in the moving process. Both of these hazards should be handled before calling in the professional movers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Entertainment<\/b>: Make sure that your kids are busy on the day of the move. Preoccupy them by providing them toys or allowing them to play child-friendly video games on your cell phone or tablet.\u00a0You can also take turns with someone to watch over your children while somebody else is helping with the move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Family](\"https:\/\/wcmovingandstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Family-Carrying-Boxes-to-New-Home-1.jpg\")
