A childproof object or environment is relatively safe for contact with children. The act of childproofing reduces risks to a level considered acceptable by a society, an institution, or, for example, to specific parents. Childproofing may include restriction of children to safe areas or preventing children from reaching unsafe areas. Safety gates ("baby gates") are used to help prevent a child from accessing an area of a house, especially the stairway. Playpens may be used to restrict movement.

Child-resistant packaging or "C-R Packaging" is packaging to reduce risk of children ingesting dangerous items. It may be required by regulation for prescription drugs, for over the counter medications, for pesticides, or for household chemicals.
