Home, Safe Home: Child-Safety Services Kid-Proof Your Place

DECEMBER 16, 2008

Is your home ready for little visitors?

The winter holidays mean that families are taking the little ones on the road to visit relatives and friends, sometimes for the first time. Folks without small children—especially urban apartment dwellers—may not see safety hazards in festive touches like goodie-bowls, stocking-hangers and candles aglow on tables where crawling toddlers can reach them. Keeping an eye on the kids is likely to be good enough for short visits, but home child-proofing isn't just an indulgence for paranoid parents.

Grandparents and others who have tots dropping by on the regular are turning to services that will make sure everything's safe. Services like Baby Bodyguards are geared to city living spaces, and they'll give your home the once-over for optimal kid-safety. They offer a range of packages including a "Grandparent/Weekender Package," as well as gift certificates for all services (a great stocking-stuffer from parents of said little ones). Manhattan Childproofers also covers the basics and advises do-it-yourselfers on home child-proofing, as well as offering gift certificates for their services. If you're environmentally conscious as well as toddler-conscious Alexandra Zissou's Greenproofing service specializes in "eco-babyproofing." She'll help rid your space of harmful substances and recommend safer choices.
