Q: How will a professional childproof my home?

• <div><p>A professional childproofer will first survey your home to identify potentially dangerous locations, including stairs, cabinets, and pools. Once approved, your professional will order and install the safety equipment for you. </p><p>Some ways a childproofing professional will make your home safe include:</p><ul><li><p>Anchoring large furniture </p></li><li><p>Installing safety gates</p></li><li><p>Installing safety latches on cabinets and drawers </p></li><li><p>Covering railings that could trap a child</p></li><li><p>Covering electrical outlets </p></li><li><p>Installing a swimming pool fence</p></li><li><p>Removing or covering electrical cords where possible</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Are tamper-resistant outlets the same as childproof?

• <div><p>While tamper-resistant outlets are effective at protecting children from the dangerous electrical outlets, few things can be truly <i>childproof</i>. Children may still try to imitate their parents and adults by inserting a plug into the tamper-resistant outlet. Hiding outlets behind childproofing covers is not an effective solution to this, as those covers can be removed or even swallowed. Tamper-resistant outlets are the safest option to keep children safe in your home, but be sure to always keep a close eye on young children around any outlets or electrical devices.</p></div>

Q: Can I childproof my home myself?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/babyproofing-your-home.htm">DIY home childproofing</a> with success. You can purchase childproofing tools like cabinet locks, outlet covers, and table-edge guards and install them easily. </p><p>However, it's best to have a professional childproofing service work on larger projects like pool safety or furniture anchoring. These safety measures can take a lot of time and effort to DIY, plus, you want to ensure the tasks are done correctly to keep your child safe.</p></div>

Q: Is professional childproofing worth it?

This cost can range from <b>$190 to $630</b> or more, depending on the size of your home and what services you need. </p><p>The location of the childproofing additions also plays a vital role in the overall cost.
