Commercial Spaces

Need Commercial Baby Proofing Services?

We partner with schools, hotels, daycares, community spaces, and more, bringing the same assessment-first approach we use in family homes to spaces that welcome many children.

Daycares and preschools. We help daycares and preschools meet the child safety requirements of state licensing, whether you are opening a new facility, expanding, or preparing for a renewal inspection.

Vacation rentals. Families traveling with young children notice which properties took their safety seriously. We help vacation rentals create family suites that protect guests without changing the look of the space.

Schools, churches, and community spaces. We assess the space, install what it needs, and offer a clear plan for keeping it safe over time.

Book an Inquiry Call for any project, residential or commercial, and we will talk through what the space needs.

Our Safety Solutions

Child Proofing Solutions We Know and Trust

Whether we are in your home or on a video call, every recommendation comes from the same set of solutions: safety products our team has installed in real homes thousands of times. We work from a catalog of more than 200 products, so what is below is a handful of favorites, not the full list. Custom Child Proofing clients get them installed by us. Virtual Child Proofing clients get the same plan, access to the same products, and step-by-step guidance to install them.

Retractable Gates

Our most-installed gate, and the one we reach for first. It disappears when open, handles wide and angled openings that swing gates cannot, and stays discreet on stairs, hallways, and doorways.

Cabinet Latches

Latches that keep medicines, cleaners, and breakables behind closed doors while staying easy for adults to open every day. We match the latch to the cabinet, not the other way around.

TV Straps

Tip-overs send a child to the ER about every 53 minutes, and nearly half of tip-over deaths involve a TV (CPSC). Straps anchor the TV to the wall or furniture so a climbing toddler cannot pull it over.

Door Guardians

A high-mounted lock that keeps exterior doors closed to small hands while adults come and go normally. Simple, sturdy, and out of reach.

Fireplace Plexiglass

Clear, custom-fit panels that close off the hearth without a bulky metal gate. You keep the look of the fireplace; your child loses access to everything inside.

Corner Cushions

Soft, low-profile guards for the coffee table, hearth, and countertop corners that meet a toddler at head height. Chosen to stay put and stay unobtrusive.

“We see spaces in terms of the solutions needed to achieve safety.”
