Childproofing Services

Keeping your home safe for children takes more than just glancing around for obvious hazards. You might walk through your living room every day, but once a curious toddler starts exploring, those electrical outlets and furniture corners suddenly look pretty different.
Childproofing services help busy families create safer spaces without the headache of figuring out what goes where. Instead of spending your Saturday afternoon researching safety devices or lying awake wondering if you missed something important, our team handles the whole process. It's surprisingly efficient, too.
Why Childproofing Matters Even in 'Safe' Rooms
Although most American parents see childproofing as essential. Even so, nearly all of them have seen a child hurt at home. Surprisingly, accidents often happen where parents feel safest, like bedrooms. Although the majority consider these rooms safe, many young kids are injured by beds each year.
The garage is also widely recognized as risky, but everyday living rooms or kitchens often go overlooked. Sad stats, but each year, thousands of young children lose their lives, and millions receive medical care for nonfatal injuries in the U.S. Childproofing has improved things, but these numbers suggest there’s always more you can do to protect kids at home.
What We Childproof
FixHome+ works with families throughout Chicago's northwest suburbs, focusing on practical childproofing solutions that may help keep children safer in their own homes. Our team identifies common household hazards while making sure your living space remains functional and feels like, well, home.

Install Baby Safety Gates
Block access to stairs or rooms that shouldn't be explored with pressure-mounted or hardware-mounted gates. We install a baby gate for stability and your daily convenience.
Anchor Furniture and TV
Secure dressers, bookshelves, and anchor the TV to prevent those scary tip-overs. This protects curious climbers and keeps your living space safer overall.
Baby Proof Corner Installation
Soften sharp furniture corners with low-profile or clear bumpers designed to absorb impacts as toddlers become more mobile. We know different corner guards and help to grab any furniture styles. We also install a wall corner protector to keep your children safe.

Baby Outlet Cover Installation
Install outlet covers or sliding plates on accessible outlets throughout your home. Standard outlets sit at perfect toddler height for curious fingers and small objects.
Installing Cabinet Locks
Add child-resistant locks to kitchen and bathroom cabinets. FixHome+ specialists are installing magnetic locks that provide invisible protection. Or if you prefer traditional latches, we properly place these visible child-resistant cabinet and drawer locks.
Install Baby Toilet Lock
Keep curious hands away from bathroom hazards with baby toilet locks that adults can operate easily but challenge little ones. Most toilet locks attach to existing hardware without modifications.
