A 2-year-old girl is brought to the emergency department after falling off a bunk bed at home. She was playing unsupervised in her older sibling’s room. She hit her head on a toy box and briefly lost consciousness. On examination, she is drowsy but responsive to verbal commands. A CT scan reveals a skull fracture with mild subdural hematoma. Her parents state that they were unaware of the need for fall precautions in toddlers. The clinician uses this opportunity to provide counseling during the child’s follow-up well-child visit. Which of the following strategies would most effectively reduce the risk of similar injuries in children under 5 years of age?
