When your first baby arrives home, it is a joyous and momentous occasion. But not only does your life change forever with this new precious arrival, so does your home. The guest room is now a nursery, hair products make way for diapers, and there’s a changing table in the hallway. With a new baby in your home, you suddenly begin to view the house through a different lens. Sharp corners and exposed wires you once never thought about are standing out. One of your top priorities as a parent is to ensure your new bundle of joy has a safe and secure place to live and grow. This necessity becomes all the more complicated when your baby begins crawling and you start to see your home not only as a lovely and cozy nest for your family but also as a whole new landscape where hazards and dangers lurk around every corner.

Babyproofing your home is one of the most important and inevitable steps in becoming a parent.
