Safety Month

This month’s Scoop: SEPTEMBER is BABY SAFETY MONTH!
September is Baby Safety Month, and Baby Scoop Austin wants to remind parents and caregivers to plan ahead to make safe spaces for babies at home, at play and on the go. This month marks the 22nd anniversary of Baby Safety Month, a month-long education campaign sponsored annually by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA).



Home “Safe” Home
Whether you are expecting your first baby or have several children in your care, September is a good time to re-familiarize yourself with things need to be done around your home to keep your children out of harm’s way. ABC imageOne smart and savvy local, Jennifer Moerbe of Austin Babyproofing Company, (ABC) has made a successful business of the A-B-C’s of baby proofing homes. Jennifer started her company eight years ago after seeing a need for child safety prevention in the home. She worked as a respiratory therapist in the hospital’s emergency room where she witnessed several injuries to children due to unsafe conditions. Also, as a CPR instructor, Jennifer was always inundated with questions from anxious expecting parents. After realizing most of the injuries she witnessed were preventable and having a strong desire to help families, she decided to start her business by baby proofing friends’ homes. Soon after, Austin Babybproofing Company, was “born”. Today, ABC is a trusted and dependable full-service, in-home safety consultation company serving the greater Austin area. When you make an appointment, a home safety expert will do an extensive room-by-room walk through of the entire house, identify potential hazards that could cause injuries, and recommend helpful solutions. After the extensive safety evaluation, the consultant will recommend the appropriate products needed for the home to be as safe as possible. Finally, if you feel you just doesn’t have the time to install all the products suggested, ABC conveniently offers many affordable installation services for their safety products. Leaving the task of baby-proofing your home up to Austin Babyproofing Company insures you have a safe home, a peace of mind, and more time with your family.
