FAQ's

A: Experts say that between the ages of one to four, children are most likely to be injured by fire, burns, drowning, choking, poisoning or falls. Each year, more than 4.5 million children ages 14 and under are treated in hospital emergency departments for injuries incurred in the home. Nearly two-thirds of all injuries among children under age 3 requiring emergency department visits occur in the home. (Source: National Safe Kids Campaign)

A: The best time to begin babyproofing is before your child starts crawling. Your home is where your child will spend most of their time playing, learning and exploring. It is important to make sure their surroundings encourage, not discourage this growth. Turning your home into a “yes” environment will allow your child to explore, while giving you more peace of mind.

A: The first thing you can do at home is get down on the floor and crawl around! This will help you locate those hidden dangers that may be at your child’s eye level, before they find them!

We know which products will work best for your particular situation and we have access to many products and brands that you cannot find locally. In addition, we will provide safety awareness information covering topics such as fire and electrical safety, poison prevention, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, important safety resources, and toy safety.

A: Contact Austin Babyproofing Company today. We will perform an extensive room-by-room walk through of the entire house, identify potential hazards that could injure your child, and recommend helpful solutions or products.

We will help you develop a “home safety plan” by providing you with a customized, detailed list of recommended products, and an estimate on the cost for installation of the products.

A: No! Unlike many retail stores that carry only two or three different brands of safety products, at Austin Babyproofing Company we carry products from over 25 different manufacturers. This allows us to pick and choose the best individual products from their product lines. For example, of the many different cabinet latches available, we only sell and install 3 types.

A: It depends on the manufacturer and quality of the products. As you probably know by now, not all “baby products” are made the same! Some are of much higher quality than others. We will only install those products that meet our strict safety standards.

A: Of course! We can install as much or as little as you would like! We can install all of the products, some of the products, or provide you with the instruction to install them yourself!
