little visitors, children get excited with companions, bumping and running in
house. Be sure your furniture or wall angles or hard edges in house are wrapped
with corner cushion / edge protectors to avoid injuries of head, eyes or body
by hard sharp corners.

other in different rooms, the door may slam suddenly and hurt their tender
fingers or arouse much noise. You’d better have some small door stops or door
guards to pin at the door for effective avoiding pinpricks.
