14 years, over 7,000 homes
For parents of babies between rolling and climbing

Your baby will find the hazard before you do.

Unless you've already found it.

This is the room by room plan we use in real homes, on real jobs. Find every hazard, fix the ones that matter, and get it done before the next milestone. Without buying a single thing you don't need.

The home is where it happens.

Not the road. Not the park. Home, the place they spend most of their time.

Leading causePreventable injury is a leading cause of death in children under five, in rich and poor countries alike.
At homeFor children under five, most of those injuries happen at home. Falls, poisoning, choking, burns, drowning.

Most of those homes weren't unsafe. They were missing a few key steps.

Not a renovation. Not a house full of products. A few steps, in the right order, before the baby gets there first.

The deadline isn't a sale ending. It's the next milestone.

Every new skill opens up a new set of risks that weren't there last week.

The ideal time to start is around six months. Already past that? Then the right time is today, and the planner tells you which rooms to do first.

Why most parents get stuck.

You're not lazy and you're not careless. Everything you find just makes it harder.

  • The 200 item checklist.No way to tell which three matter this month.
  • The product that looks right, and isn't.A pressure gate at the top of the stairs is the most common thing we're called to fix.
  • "We'll just supervise."Nobody can watch a crawling baby for 14 hours a day. Safety goes into the house, so supervision is the backup.
  • Your house isn't the one in the guide.Renting, glass walls, stairs with nothing to fix to.

The same walk through Mitch does on a job, written down.

Over 7,000 homes, it's ended up the same steps every time.

1

Find the risks

Look at each room through your baby's eyes. Write down what you see.

2

Pick the fix

Some risks need a product. Some need something moved. Some just need a routine to change.

3

Do the worst first

The six hazards that cause serious injury go first. Everything else can wait for the next milestone.

4

Tick it off

A worksheet for every room. What you found, what you need, done.

The six that go first

What you get.

One PDF. Everything below is inside it.

A plan page for every room

Nursery to pet spaces. The risks, what to do, what you might need, and a priority rating.

The milestone map

What changes at every stage and what to fix before it arrives.

The "do these first" rule

So your first weekend goes on the things that matter, not corner cushions.

How to buy a product that works

Six questions to ask before you buy. Saves buying things twice.

The mistakes we fix after DIY

Gates, anchors, locks, restrictors. Where each belongs, plus glass, plaster and rentals.

The re-check at every milestone

Go through the house again without starting from scratch.

Bonus: emergency numbers and support

One page for the fridge.

Bonus: the 2 minute Home Safety Scorecard

Score your home room by room. Linked on the download page.

What it saves you: the second trip to the hardware store, the gate you return, and the moment your baby finds the hazard first.

Questions.

Is this a printed book?

No, it's a PDF. Read it on your phone, or print the worksheet pages for the fridge.

I'm not in Australia. Can I still use it?

Yes. The method works in any home. The emergency numbers and product standards we reference are Australian, so check your local equivalents.

Does it replace having Mitch come out?

For a lot of homes, yes. For tricky stairs, glass balustrades and rentals, the planner tells you when it's worth a visit.

Do I get it straight away?

Yes. On the next screen after payment, and by email.

Find it before they do.

Start with the room that worries you most.
