Little fingers

Posted on November 26, 2010December 10, 2014 by jenny

We were recently sent a BabyDan magnetic drawer/cupboard lock to review. I was really happy to try this as Edward is increasingly moving around and it won’t be long before we have to have a serious think about locks on cupboards and stair gates. The magnetic drawer/cupboard lock was simple to fit and can be…
