How do I make a safe space for a baby to crawl?

It sounds like the baby is trying to learn how to crawl, and you’re concerned about safety, for example by preventing the baby from crawling into the path of a moving adult or an object in the path.  You might want to try lowering the floor, so that the baby can crawl safely within the area you’ve designated.  Maybe your space could be a safe “cage” where the baby won’t come into harm?

Okay, any other advice?

It might help to think about what this cage looks like and feels like.  You might want to design it with padding and carpeting so the baby can slide and push off the floor.  The floor can be lower, but you also might want to create “safe” barriers so that the baby won’t bump into things or fall into space.  You could also make the cage more colorful, and try to make it a fun space.  I think it’s also helpful to remember that a baby will learn new things, just as you did when you were a baby.
