Just a quick reminder of some top baby proofing safety tips.  Please make child safety a priority in your home this summer!

Block staircases and secure furniture – Children falling down stairs or furniture tipping over is the number one preventable household injury.  Proper safety gates should be installed at the top and bottom of each staircase.  Choosing the proper gate and installing it correctly is crucial for your child’s safety and is best left to a professional.  Never install a pressure gate at the top of the stairs.  Properly secure all furniture, bookshelves and television sets to the wall to prevent them from tipping.

Prevent burns – Burns can be caused by flame, heat, chemicals or electrocution.  Always keep children away from open flames while cooking or enjoying your fireplace.  Lock your oven door or limit access to the kitchen while cooking or baking.  Keep all chemicals out of reach of children and locked in a secure place.  Limit access to electrical cords and install self-closing outlet covers.

Keep poisons out of reach – For babies and toddlers, poisons are found everywhere.  Household cleaners, medicines (including baby medicines), vitamins, pesticides, plants, toothpaste and some foods can be poisonous.  All these dangers should be kept out of reach and securely stowed away.  Keep the number for Poison Control handy in case your baby ingests a hazardous material.  The National Poison Control Number is: 800-222-1222.

Safeguard anything that contains open water – Children can drown in as little as an inch of water.  While swimming pools are the most obvious drowning hazard, jacuzzis, bathtubs, toilets, buckets, pet bowls, fountains, ponds, lakes and the ocean can be equally dangerous.  Children drown quickly and silently – in a matter of seconds.  Supervision is the best prevention and most of these hazards can be safeguarded with locks or barriers.

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.
