Child safety products available at retail stores are considered "traditional" products. Designed to be easily installed and to address the most common or standard safety issues found in the average home, traditional childproofing devices are packaged and sold complete with hardware and installation instructions in multiple languages. Safety 1st® has been a leader in this field for 25 years helping millions of parents keep their kids safer. Traditional items require nothing more from the consumer than a few, common tools in an effort to make it easy for parents to install the product themselves. All Safety 1st® traditional child safety devices are CPSIA compliant, and although these traditional options cost you less money they are no less safe. Safety 1st SquadSM allows families to make the personal financial assessment of professional versus consumer product.
Many of the products or child safety devices used by professional childproofers are not widely available to consumers at retails stores for some of the following reasons; there is no retail packaging; components are sold in bulk; installation instructions are not available; or hardware is sold separately. Professional grade product is specifically designed for injury prevention professionals, who install hundreds and thousands of these types of items every year. These professional items are made of premium materials and often have a more pleasing aesthetic. They are created to address the many unique safety problems which custom décor can present and that traditional product does not address.
