2023 LOVE Award Winner: Best Baby Proofing

Family Focus Media has been building community with Main Line Parent and Philadelphia Family since 2010 and our annual LOVE Awards celebrate the BEST local resources for families, thanks to thousands of nominations like this one:

"We had Safer Babies baby proof our home when our daughter was nine months old and we couldn’t be happier with the results. As she has grown, she has aged into needing some of the baby proofing solutions that didn’t matter as much when she was smaller. It has given us such peace of mind to know that our house is safe for her in the years to come. Having a professional look at our space and recommend items that made the most sense and then expertly install them, saved us time to research and purchase and install ourselves, and made sure the end result was as safe as it could be!"

"I needed to have my house baby proofed for my grandchildren. I called Safer Babies and they did a great job! I am now comfortable having my grandchildren explore the house without worry! Joe Metzger is a professional but also a very nice man."

2021 LOVE Award Winner: Best Baby Proofer

'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!' -Joe M.

2020 LOVE Award Winner: Best Baby Proofer

"From the first consult with Joe to the finishing touches of installation, he has exceeded our families' expectations in providing a safer and more comfortable home WHILE being aesthetically pleasing. His guidance from everyday household hazards to what materials would work best with our "city vertical" home was thorough and genuine. His work has made my one year old have the freedom of roaming around without my husband and I being on edge that an accident may occur with the stairs. Joe installed gates and plexiglass to cover the openings of our stairs while placing latches that lock on our easily accessible cabinets. His passion for creating a safer and more comfortable environment for parents (and grandparents) shines in his work. I couldn't be more happy that I was referred to this local company and my friends are thrilled as they are eager to set up a consult."
