Fred Safety

Fred's Tip No. 2✅

'Children often crouch down- with corner protectors fitted on lower corners as well as top ones, little heads are safe as they stand up'.

Our Corner Protectors are great as they include a shock-absorbing outer layer to ensure excellent impact protection🤍

By blocking access to the stairs and certain rooms in the home with a stair gate, you'll bring essential safety to your home.

When installing a stairgate, make sure you...

❌dont position the gate too high, this can create an entrapment
❌dont climb over the stairgate!
❌dont depend on a gate to protect a child over 2 years of age
❌dont forget that adult supervision is best

Fred's Tip No. 1✅

'Reduce your child's temptation to climb by hiding treats etc. completely out of sight rather than on top of tall furniture or units'.

If your little one does climb, then invest in a stable anti-tip kit to stop heavy furniture such as shelves, chests of drawers, and cabinets.

We would love to know your top baby-proofing tips🤍

It's our mission to spread awareness about the importance of home safety.

Our Ambassador Programme allows real people who have been affected by an accident within the home to sensitively share their stories. In doing so, we hope to spread awareness about why it's important to keep your home baby safe, especially for those under the age of 5❤️

Please DM us or email [email protected] if you feel you can help us on our mission🤗

We have some more baby proofing myths and misconceptions to debunk, lets go!

✅Myth 1: Heavy furniture wont tip over easily

Babies can pull themselves up on furniture, causing it to tip over – and it takes less weight than you think! To prevent accidents, anchor heavy furniture securely to the wall using safety straps or brackets.

✅Myth 2: Putting cushions or pillows around furniture corncers prevents injuries

Soft materials like cushions or blankets can easily slip off or become dislodged, leaving the corners open and potentially causing a new hazard. Babies are curious and can pull at loose items.

✅Myth 3: Open doors pose no risk to babies

Leaving doors ajar may seem harmless, but it can lead to accidents, especially with curious and mobile babies. Small children can inadvertently close doors on their fingers or get them caught in the hinges.

Additionally, leaving doors open can create access to unsafe areas.

Every baby is different, so keep watching and adapt your babyproofing efforts accordingly🤍

Do I really have to baby proof my house? Yes!✅

Once your little one starts to crawl and move about by themselves, you need to take extra steps to deal with dangerous objects and hazardous locations.

We provide a range of baby proofing products that blend seamlessly into your home, designed for maximum safety.

Babyproofing is an essential step in preparing your living space. However, there are a few myths and misconceptions out there about what truly keeps babies safe. Let's debunk some of these!

✅Myth 1: Babies won't reach hazards until they start crawling

Babies can start exploring and grabbing things much earlier than you might expect. Even before they can crawl, infants are developing their motor skills and curiosity, which can lead them to grab anything within arm's reach

✅Myth 2: Baby gates are only necessary at the top of stairs

Baby gates should be used not only at the top of stairs but also at the bottom and in doorways to restrict access to dangerous areas. Placing gates at the top and bottom of stairs prevents falls while climbing, while using them in doorways can restrict access to hazardous spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.

✅Myth 3: Once you've babyproofed, you can relax about safety

Under-5s are particularly at risk of being injured in home accidents, so babyproofing needs to be an ongoing process. Regularly reassess your home for new hazards.

Can you think of any other myths?☁️

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) notes that 30,000 children trap and seriously crush their fingers in doors at homes, schools, nurseries, or shops each year.

More than 5% of these crushes will require surgery.

Door slam stoppers prevent little ones from trapping their fingers in doors.

"We are getting to the stage now where we need to start baby-proofing our house & I’m obsessed with these acrylic clear view stair gates that we have installed at the top & bottom of our stairs.

Nothing is more important than making sure our home is safe for Louie & the added bonus is that these blend in perfectly with our stairs & decor.

They were so easy to install, can swing open both ways, & can be operated with a single hand".
