Banisters need baby proofing

We’ve talked many times about the importance of baby gates at the top and at the bottom of stairs, but let’s not forget that banisters need baby proofing too. Stair banisters can pose three different safety hazards:

  1. Your child could climb over the railings and fall
  2. Baby could slip through the gap
  3. He or she could become wedged and suffocate.

If the baluster creates any gaps that are wider than 3 inches, you’ll need to make some modifications to stop your child from squeezing through. Same thing goes if your stairway design includes a ledge, decorative iron, horizontal rails or anything that can be climbed to get up and over the top rail.

The most affordable option for each of these safety hazards is a sheet of custom Plexiglas: It is safer and more attractive than netting, and it can easily be removed when your child is old enough to understand the hazard.

Don’t take a gamble on your child’s safety. Let Baby Safe Homes assist you in the installation of custom plexiglas to eliminate this potential deadly hazard in your home.

Testimonials

Many people put-off baby proofing because they do not have the time- there is absolutely no excuse for that. I have taken care of patients who have their babies fall down stairs, choke on door stoppers, and pull down furniture onto themselves. This can be prevented. And the service is very affordable- the only additional cost versus doing it yopurself is the labor cost.Thank you to Baby Safe Homes for providing an excellent service to me and my patients.

Hi all. I just wanted to let you know that we recently used Baby Safe Homes to childproof our house. More than a few friends referred us to this company and I can’t speak highly enough it. They came to our house for a consultation, made recommendations, and did immediate installation. He was very honest and didn’t pressure us to buy or install anything we didn’t feel we needed to. If you have an infant ready to crawl (as we do) I’d highly recommend Baby Safe Homes.

Thank you very much for making my house a safer place for my twin girls. You did a wonderful job! Everything works great, and I’m starting to appreciate all the devices even more as the girls get better at getting into things. I will certainly recommend Baby Safe Homes to all of my friends with kids and my patients.

Baby Safe Homes was an absolute pleasure to work with. I felt so overwhelmed by the process of babyproofing I procrastinated until my 8 month old was on the go. Within a few short days of my initial call Baby Safe Homes came out, gave me the guidance I needed, and proofed my entire house with top of the line products all within a 2 1/2 hour period. I can actually get more done now without constantly stopping to chase my son!

Thank you for helping us babyproof our new home. I loved that you gave us all the options and didn’t push anything on us and allowed us to pick what we felt was necessary. Also, I couldn’t believe how quick everything was finished. Within a few days of speaking with you, you came out and installed everything in just 2 hours! Our stair gates look and work great! I wish I had heard of you before and I will definitely recommend you to all of my family and friends. Thanks again.
