Safer Babies | 2026 LOVE Award Winner – Best Baby Proofer

Baby proofing our 100+ year old home felt completely overwhelming—uneven floors, narrow staircases, original woodwork, and quirks around every corner. We honestly didn’t even know where to begin. Enter Joe from Safer Babies, who turned what felt daunting and stressful into a calm, thoughtful, and incredibly reassuring experience.

From the moment Joe walked through our home, it was clear he wasn’t offering a one-size-fits-all solution. He took the time to understand our space, our concerns, and our baby’s needs, and then created custom, practical solutions that respected both safety and the integrity of our old home. Joe’s knowledge, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills were remarkable—especially in a house where nothing is level and nothing is standard.

Joe went above and beyond in every sense. He patiently explained each recommendation, walked us through why it mattered, and made sure we felt confident and informed rather than overwhelmed. He treated our home like it was his own and our baby’s safety like it was personal. By the end of the process, our house felt not only safer, but calmer—and so did we.

The impact of Joe and Safer Babies extends beyond just our family. They provide an invaluable service to families in our community, especially those navigating parenthood in older homes that present unique challenges. Joe’s work gives parents peace of mind, empowers them with knowledge, and helps create safer environments where babies can thrive.

We cannot recommend Joe and Safer Babies highly enough. His professionalism, kindness, and expertise made a meaningful difference for our family, and we are so grateful for the care he put into protecting our little one

Joe took time and care to make our house safe for our little one. He talked us through all of the different baby-proofing options and gave us useful tutorials. Thank you, Joe!

We had a great experience working with Safer Babies for our baby proofing needs. Joe was very thorough in his in-home assessment and recommendations. He took the time to listen to our concerns and worked with us to come up with personalized solutions for our home. Joe was also able to point out other potential hazards and solutions in a no pressure manner. It gave us piece of mind to work with a professional who truly is passionate and knowledgeable about child safety. Joe was very accommodating and efficient on day of install and the products he uses are high quality and discrete. We are so happy with the service and products from Safer Babies and would highly recommend them for baby proofing needs.

Safer Babies was so helpful! We have a very active toddler and live in an apartment with two large openings that standard gates just weren’t working for. Joe helped us determine which gates would work for us via a virtual consult and then installed them for us. We are thrilled with our safer and less stressful home and we cannot recommend Safer Babies Enough!

We used Safer Babies to take care of baby gate installation, baby proofing bedrooms and baby proofing our boys playroom. Joe was able to fit us in his schedule quickly and had many ideas on how to incorporate baby proofing in areas we were struggling to find a solution. It is very clear how dedicated, professional and knowledgeable Joe is and we could not be happier with how things turned out. Safety is priority, and Joe makes sure to do just that!”
