We went to Lowe's yesterday to look for safety hinges for kitchen cabinets. The adoption agency informed us that we needed to install these before they come to our home visit. We were looking at the building materials section and found nothing. We went to the doorknobs and kitchen section and we did not find them, either.
We asked a salesperson if they carried "those safety locks for kitchen cabinets for babies?" He pointed out a single shelf with a small selection of safety locks and safety gates. He then said "I knew what you were talking about because I had to buy those, too".
Thank goodness that we were lucky enough to find the right salesperson. Before, we only went to Lowe's to buy paint, hardware and plants - - - items that "normal" people buy.
From now on, we will be going to Lowe's to buy non-leaded, low-odor, water-based paints, baby-proof, tamper-proof, lightweight, plastic hardware, and non-edible, non-poisonous, baby-safe plants! Are any of these things going to be good enough?
This is going to be harder than we thought. Thank goodness for salespeople who are parents, too.
Hey, Francis, don't forget the huge baby safety section at Babies 'R' Us. We have the magnetic locks on our cabinets. Anyways, you'll find a larger selection of baby safety items at Babies 'R' Us. Even Target will have a small section of it. If ever in doubt, ask your sisters. :^)
