Genuine question, because we hear both sides every week 👀

Some say it's Nan's house, Nan's rules, and you just watch the kids closer.

Others say if they're there every Sunday, a few cupboard latches aren't a big ask.

Where do you land?

YES they should, or NO it's on the parents 👇

Your lounge room probably feels pretty safe.

Then your toddler starts pulling themselves up on absolutely everything.

A few things worth looking at:
📺 the TV on the low unit
📚 the bookshelf
🪞 the mirror leaning against the wall
💡 the tall floor lamp

The tricky part is that most of these things have been sitting there perfectly happily for years.

Then little hands arrive.

Since 2000, 28 people have died in Australia from toppling furniture, including 17 children under five.

More than 900 Australians each year need medical attention after furniture or TVs topple. Product Safety Australia, 2024.

You don't need to baby proof the entire house this afternoon.

Start with the TV and the tallest piece of furniture in the room.

Secure them properly to the wall, then work your way around from there.

And if you're renting, it's worth talking to your landlord or property manager about safe anchoring options rather than skipping it altogether.

The windows are open and the school holidays have started.

A flyscreen keeps the mozzies out. It's not built to stop a toddler leaning on it.

Kidsafe NSW says the same: don't be fooled by fly screens.

Toddlers between 2 and 4 are the most at risk. They're top heavy and too young to judge the drop.

The fix isn't to shut the house up:

🔸a lock or restrictor that limits the window to 12.5 cm
🔸couches, beds and toy boxes moved away from the window

Start with the windows upstairs

You don't need to do the whole house today.
Start with the window they can reach.

Most parents don't need more baby proofing products. 

They need to know which few things to do first.

After 14 years and over 7,000 Sydney homes, we've found it comes down to the same steps every time. Find the risks, pick the right fix, do the worst first, then tick it off.

So we wrote it all down. Every room, every milestone, and the mistakes we fix after DIY, so you're not buying something twice.

Read it tonight, start this weekend.

Mitch came home from this one and said it was a great day.

A young family here in Sydney, first bub, a staircase that had been keeping the mum up at night for weeks.

He anchored the bookshelf, fitted gates top and bottom, sorted the bathroom, and walked her through how to use all of it.

Three hours later he handed the house back to her. She got a little teary.

Not because anything was wrong, but because the worry she'd been carrying for weeks had lifted.

That's the part of this work we love most.

Not the gates. The lighter shoulders that walk back into the house after we leave.

We're not just here to install gates, we're here to make your home a genuinely safe place for your little one to grow and thrive.

If your shoulders are feeling heavy, our link is in bio. We're here when you're ready.

We created the First Steps scorecard after seeing the same problem in many homes.

Some parents had spent hundreds of dollars and were still anxious.

Others had bought very little but had addressed the risks that genuinely mattered.

Baby proofing is not one universal shopping list.

What your home needs depends on:

• Your stairs Your windows and blind cords
• Your furniture Your kitchen storage
• Your outdoor areas
• Your child's age
• How your child currently moves

Don't buy a gate before checking whether it suits the opening, wall and direction of travel.

Don't buy cupboard locks before deciding which cupboards contain dangerous items.

Don't cover every corner while leaving unsecured furniture nearby.

Identify the highest consequence risks first.

The First Steps scorecard takes around two minutes and helps you understand where to begin.

No enormous shopping list. No pressure to do everything today.

Just a clearer first step for your home.

Most parents are left to “figure out” baby safety on their own, and that’s where so many preventable accidents happen.

When Mitch first started in this space, he met a family who’d lost their child in a house fire caused by a stove k**b being turned.

A few distracted seconds.
A life changed forever.
That story shaped everything we do.

With 75% of childhood accidents happening inside the home, parents deserve clearer guidance, not mixed advice or unsafe products.

Since 2014, we’ve assessed 7,000+ homes and raised four kids of our own, including twins who get into everything.

What we’ve learned is simple:

Small changes make a big difference, and safety needs to evolve as your child grows.

If you want practical, calm, evidence backed baby safety tips…

Finding a new hazard does not mean you failed to baby proof properly.

It usually means your child developed a new skill.

The setup that worked for a crawler may no longer suit a child who can stand, climb or move furniture.

Use each milestone as a reminder to review your home.

When they begin crawling
Don't focus only on obvious floor hazards.
Check handbags, pet bowls, small objects, low cords and anything beneath furniture.

When they begin standing
Don't assume the back half of a table is out of reach. Children can stretch, pull tablecloths and use nearby objects to gain height.

When they begin cruising
Check the entire route around couches, tables and cabinets. Remove anything hot, sharp or small enough to swallow.

When they begin climbing
Don't rely on placing dangerous items one shelf higher. Anchor furniture and remove chairs or boxes that create access to higher surfaces.

Baby proofing is not one enormous job completed once. It is a quick reset whenever your child unlocks a new ability.

Blind cord risks are scary because things can go wrong very quickly and very quietly.

The good news?

One of the biggest safety changes you can make is completely free.

Move cots, beds, couches, change tables and playpens away from any window with a hanging cord.

And don’t wait until your little one can climb.

Kids learn new skills ridiculously fast, and furniture near a window can give them access to a cord sooner than you’d expect.

A few other things to check:
• Don’t tie a cord into a loose knot. It can still leave a dangerous loop.
• Don’t drape it over a window latch. It can easily fall back down or stay within reach.
• Use a suitable cleat or tensioning device, installed high on the wall, and keep the cord secured tightly.

Start with:
The nursery
The lounge room
Bedrooms Play areas
Anywhere there’s a highchair, playpen or couch near a window
