To be worried at grown up DD getting granite floor tiles? Can seen endless trips to A&E

[sneezecakesmum]

Wobbly toddler, and stb baby?

Please tell me you have not had cracked heads and noses as I am a neurotic worrier?

It's marble you have to watch out for!

What about amtico (sp?) I have this in my living room and it's great. Looks like tiles but isn't so unforgiving.

This was the quickest AIBu to IABU turnaround ever:)

If I had spent my life sticking people back together, I would feel the same. When we had hard floors and toddlers,we put down rugs everywhere. I prefer the rugs to the floor now

Kids did fine, I knocked myself out though!

We had a stone floor in the sitting room (now has carpet). We did have an A&E trip and head xray due to fall on stone floor. I also have two friends whose children have had trips to A&E; one baby ended up with a fractured skull but was fine - no brain injury and is okay now ten years on.

Obviously there is an increased risk on a stone or granite floor as compared to a wooden floor. But the granite floor in question is going in a kitchen. Toddlers and babies generally don't play much in kitchens due to all the other hazards in there, so I can't see it is a particular issue. They may well have a baby gate on it anyway.

If your daughter gets them a trampoline, then you should worry! Aren't they a very common reason for A&E trips now?

Oh dear! How old is your daughter? are you my mum?
