What is childproofing?

 
  • Identifying dangers in your home
  • Reducing the likelihood and severity of potential injuries BEFORE  an accident happens
Why should a home be childproofed?
  • More children die due to in-home accidents than all diseases combined, and even more are seriously injured
  • A child can be taught to avoid some dangers, but not all
  • Children can't be watched every minute and it only takes a split second for an accident to happen
  • Protection while others (nannies or babysitters) care for your children
  • Considering all the time children spend at home and all the risks, childproofing is the best investment you can make for your child's safety
Why use a Professional?
  • Peace of mind from experienced advice and recommendations
  • Searching for effective products can take much time and effort
  • What works well for one home may not work for yours
  • Do-it-yourself safety items take hours to install or assemble and you are still not sure if you did it right
  • Even safety products can be harmful if not installed correctly
 
Safe Start can identify the dangers throughout your home and safely and securely install products or rearrange areas that will give your child a Safe Start on their journey through life.
 
Where should childproofing be done?
  • All areas of the home
  • Even restricted areas should have at least one level of protection
  • Childproofing is not meant to prevent children from exploring their environment, it is meant to keep them safe while they do.
When should a home be childproofed?
  • When your child starts to become mobile, usually by 6 months old ·
  • When children 5 years old and under will spend time at your home ·
  • At each new developmental stage (sitting up, crawling, walking, climbing…)
