Can I childproof my home myself?

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: How much do childproofing services cost?

• <div><p>The average cost of childproofing services is <b>$410</b>. 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. For example, a bathroom is relatively small and costs about <b>$150</b> to fully childproof. However, if you have a swimming pool, you could spend as much as <b>$1,500 to $10,000</b> to make it entirely safe for small children, including adding a pool fence.</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: Is professional childproofing worth it?

• <div><p>Many parents, especially first-time parents, agree that professional childproofing is worth it. These professional childproofing services are trained to recognize dangerous home situations that many people would overlook until it's too late. Furthermore, professional childproofing experts have access to top-of-the-line equipment you can't purchase at most stores, providing longevity and peace of mind.</p></div>
