If you have stairs in your home, the most common safety item installation are baby gates at the top and bottom of your stairs. BEWARE, you must also consider the safety to your stair banisters.

Stair banister can pose two different safety hazards, climbing over and/or fitting through the stair balusters.

If your baby or toddler is able to climb on the stair balusters due to a ledge, decorative iron, horizontal rails or anything that can be climbed to get up and over the top rail, you have a “climbing over” hazard. You have a “fit through” hazard if your stair balusters are greater than three inches apart allowing your baby or toddler to fit through the slats and fall or become entrapped. Either hazard can cause serious injury or death.

The most affordable option for each of these hazards is a thin sheet of safety plastic know as a Banister Shield. A properly installed banister shield can be an effective safety barrier without breaking the bank. It takes a bit of practice to make it look nice so we recommend hiring one of our baby proofing specialists to assist you. It is safer and more attractive than netting and can easily be removed when your child is old enough to understand the hazard.

Below are some photos of our installations:

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.
