We understand that keeping babies and young children safe is a full-time job. Our experience comes from being fathers of young families, and also being physicians with more than 10 years of combined experience in the Pediatric Emergency Room of a leading children’s hospital in Hampton Roads, Va., where we continue to work.

As emergency pediatric professionals, we see daily, first-hand, the results of inadequate childproofing which causes falls, burns, poisoning, drowning, choking and strangulation, and more. A few years ago it dawned on us that we could slow the steady stream of babies and young children to emergency rooms by sharing our child safety knowledge with mothers, testing and selling child safety products that work well, and conducting child safety home consultations.

We have been thrilled by our success, and know from our mothers' feedback that we've helped them keep their babies and children safer.

We encourage you to read through our website where you'll find important child safety education and awareness information, as well as child safety products that we research, evaluate and sell on this website.

Make your Home safer
The best time to begin childproofing your home is when your baby is 4 to 6 months old -- BEFORE your child starts crawling. That means child safety gates, child proof latches, child proof drawers and more are needed to turn your home into a "yes" environment that will allow your child to play and explore, while giving you peace of mind.

Helping fellow Pediatricians
As pediatricians, we know our fellow doctors are consistently doing what's best for their patients and parents.  But one area has emerged where we think our pediatric emergency room experience can help you better serve your patients. Read more here.

Child Proofing Tips
Amazingly, most of the child injuries we treat in the emergency room were preventable and occurred in homes the parents considered fully childproofed. It is important to understand that basic childproofing is easy, but proper, effective childproofing takes experience, research, and time. We gladly take that burden off your shoulders by sharing our knowledge with you through our Childproofing Tips here.

Top 5 Childproofing Myths
1. I watch my child closely, so my childproofing needs are minimal.

2. I’ve taught my child to stay away from the stove, oven, electrical outlets, stairs, fireplace, etc.

3. Childproofing is simple.

4. Childproofed homes are ugly and look like prisons.

5. I will spend less money if I childproof on my own.
