What about the risk of falls?
Living in an apartment you can’t just open the back door and tell the two-year-old to play within sight; it’s inevitable in apartments children will be playing inside. In apartments of limited size, it’s difficult for families not to have furniture pushed up against windows. Most children who fall are playing in the bedroom, climbing on the bed, or the tallboy, or chest of drawers. Children are top-heavy so when they topple they fall head-first. Around most apartments there is concrete, so when you imagine a small child going head-first onto concrete you begin to understand how serious the injuries can be.
