AUSTIN BABY PROOFING MYTH #5

May 6, 2021 by

It is a good idea to give the baby a lower cabinet in the kitchen.  This way they can feel like they are helping. This is Austin baby proofing myth #5 in a series of myth busting.

We hear this a comment a lot and our philosophy is to create boundaries for your child. When you give a child a cabinet in the kitchen, they are going to pull all of the stuff out and not put it away. At a minimum, you will have to pick up the items and re-wash them if you want to use them. Worst case scenario is that now that you have trip hazards in your kitchen, you might go from stove top (HOT) to the sink to drain cooked pasta (BOILING). Disaster is about to strike!

Infant House of Austin recommends locking all cabinets below the counter top to avoid injuries, damage and the hassle factor of rewashing dishes that get baby goo and kitchen floor crud on them.

AUSTIN BABY PROOFING MYTH #4

April 2, 2021 by

Baby proofing is not necessary, my parents did not baby proof for me and I turned out alright. This is Austin baby proofing myth #4 in a series of myth busting.

You may have turned out alright. However, many children do not survive baby proofing injuries in the home. The facts are that the percentage of unintentional injuries in the home have remained relatively constant over the years. From 2000-2006, an estimated 9.2 million children annually had an initial emergency department visit for an unintentional injury. This is according to a cdc.gov report. These injuries lead not only to excess mortality but also to permanent and temporary disability and substantial economic costs. We can do better and Infant House is here to work with you!

Professionally installed baby safety gates at the top and bottom of the stairs greatly reduces the chance of your child falling down the stairs .

No Holes Installation while childproofing the house.
Austin baby proofing myth #4 can come true with a professionally install baby safety gate.

AUSTIN BABY PROOFING MYTH #3

March 4, 2021 by

Childproof lids are too hard for children to remove. Therefore, they are safe. This is Austin baby proofing myth #3 in a series of myth busting.

Not true.  No container is “childproof”, some are child resistant.  To be childproof the FDA requires that 80% or more children cannot remove the lids.  What about the other 20%?  That is why Infant House recommends securing all medications.

Many medications look like candy. These examples are from poison.org :

Candy good. Medicine can be poison.
Medicine can look like candy.

Medication should be secured from toddlers using childproof lids in addition to being out of reach and or locked away. Infant House recommends locking all the drawers and doors below the counter top and storing medication in one of these locked cabinets or in a locked box. The locks we use are the best on the market. They can be turned on and off and are super strong.

AUSTIN BABY PROOFING MYTH #2

February 4, 2021 by

If something tastes bad, such as moth balls or detergent gel packs, babies won’t eat it. This is Austin baby proofing myth #2 in a series of myth busting.

Babies eat poisonous products that don’t taste good because their taste buds are not fully developed.  This is why parents have to be “on duty” as their toddler explores their world.

Infant House recommends installing locks on all cabinets and drawers below the counter top so they don’t open at all. This will help prevent accidental poisonings, pinched fingers and damaged possessions. Also, it will limit the number of times a parent has to say “No”.

Infant House also recommends installing door latches on rooms that are “off limits”. This makes it safer for the toddler, less expensive to baby proof the home. And finally, it is easier for mom and dad to keep up with the super speedy toddler.

AUSTIN BABY PROOFING MYTH #1

January 21, 2021 by

“This dresser to too heavy to tip over.” This is Austin baby proofing myth #1 in a series of myth busting.

When you open all of the drawers on a dresser, this is not recommended by the way, the center of gravity shifts to the front of the furniture. At this point, when a toddler pulls or tries to climb into one of the drawers, the furniture can easily tip over.

Here is the result:

Houston childproofing myth busted
AUSTIN BABY PROOFING MYTH #1, BUSTED!

According to Anchor It , about every 43 minutes a child in the U.S. is injured from a TV or furniture tip-over incident. Properly mounting or anchoring a TV can prevent these tragic incidents.

When you choose Infant House of Austin, we will address furniture restraints in your home. We recommend installing furniture restraints for all furniture that is 3 or more drawers tall, bookcases, grandfather clocks and other unstable furniture. Also, secure TVs on top of furniture using straps. Here is a picture of the professional grade furniture straps that we use currently.

Dallas Professional Childproof Door Latch

June 1, 2020 by

You know, some of the best products in the market today were created by a small business that saw a need they could fix. And that’s exactly how the Dallas Professional Childproof Door Latch, GlideLok, came to be. This child proof door lock was invented by a dad of twins, Jack Smith. He operates a childproofing business and saw firsthand how most child locks for doors offer ZERO help in keeping toddlers safe.

So, he did something about it. After many proto-types and lots and lots of testing, the GlideLok Top-of-Door Childproofing System was born. Jack and his childproofing installation business in Texas use the GlideLok every single day in their clients’ homes. And there’s a reason why the demand stays high. Because it works!

The GlideLok solves so many of the problems caused by competitor child proof door locks. And it costs less than a couple of fast food meals.

Dallas Professional Childproof Door Latch
Dallas Professional Childproof Door Latch

First, the GlideLok operates from BOTH sides of the door, which means you will never get locked out of a room. This is crucial because other locks designed to child proof a door handle only work from one side of the door. If you’re in the bathroom and your child (or dog) accidentally engage the lock from the other side, you’re trapped. I’ve heard story after story of parents busting their door down or needing to call the fire department for help. Not exactly a convenient solution.

Another reason I love the GlideLok is because it’s made of durable metal, and not flimsy plastic. That means your child can’t bust through it, and it won’t bend or break. There are competitor child locks for doors made of plastic that completely bend when your toddler pushes hard enough, and they bust right through the door. Insane.

The GlideLok sits at the very top of your door, so guess who can’t even attempt to reach it? Your curious little child. You, however, have the height advantage and can easily slide the lock across to secure the door, or across to unlock. And you can keep it unlocked, or disengaged, for as long as you want.

I could go on for days about all the reasons why the GlideLok child proof door lock is my favorite solution for babyproofing your doors. But I’ll let our customers have the last word. Click Testimonials to see what other parents like yourself think of the GlideLok child lock for doors.
