Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children in the United States. Most of these incidents are preventable and often happen during brief moments of inattention or because safety devices were either not utilized or not installed correctly.
Numerous safety hazards can easily be missed in the home. Each year, nearly 2 million children under the age of 5 visit emergency rooms due to injuries that occur at home.
Most homes are not designed, built, or furnished with child safety as a priority. Unfortunately, many parents don’t recognize the potential dangers within their homes until an injury happens. An experienced childproofer can offer invaluable peace of mind to parents, grandparents, and caregivers by identifying safety hazards throughout the home, recommending tailored safety solutions, and providing professional installation services.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that falls are the most common cause of nonfatal injuries among infants and toddlers, accounting for over 100,000 emergency room visits each year.
