We used this service twice now, once for when our daughter was 6-months and starting to be more curious and just now, at 2-years old, since we moved next door. Communicating with the team was so easy and the quote for everything was straight and to the point. After thinking we could do this ourselves and buying all the wrong things for our cabinets, I gave in and hired Mr. Baby Proofer. SO worth the investment and paying an expert to do it is the way to go! Always arrives on time, always friendly, always quick and works around you (great for when working from home these days). Parents - just hire them. You will be thankful you do it and you will be less stressed knowing it was done right and quick. read more

Great to work with! I wish every home improvement company worked with as much professionalism and integrity!

Strange company. Had an appointment set up for over a month. Tries to change the appointment time the day before without asking and I try to move some things around to get their new time to work. But I can't change what I needed to so I needed them to come at there original time. They say no. They can't let there worker be idle for an hour. Just weird, bad vibe. News flash sir. We are not obligated to use you. read more

I highly recommend Mr. Baby Proofer to anyone with little kids. Daryl was very quick to respond to my inquiry. We were able to schedule a consultation pretty quickly and had installation done 2 weeks later. The installation did not take long at all. The baby gates and plexiglass installed look wonderful. It's obviously all about safety, but we were very impressed it's not an eyesore. Thank you so much Daryl! read more

See all

Great work. Very skilled. Lots of experience. Price is about equal to other services.

Amazing product, amazing service -- so grateful we were able to book Daryl, Mr. Baby Proofer! He's an expert that will have your child's safety and best interests in mind without upselling you. Couldn't recommend him enough! read more

Impeccable work! Managed to baby-proof our house with a focus on safety and a nice eye for aesthetics. Super nice job.

Fast, friendly and does a great job! We have tried (and failed ) baby proofing our home for almost two years but our son always managed to find a way around our poor attempts. We decided to call Mr. Baby Proofer after a friend recommended them and I am so pleased with the job they did! Now our home is much safer for a wild toddler! read more

Very professional; I now have much more peace of mind at home. They don't oversell you, they point out things you have never thought of, and our baby girl (11 months) can now get around our house without me having a heart attack or cleaning up the tornado around her. Great team to work with! read more

I last used Daryl and his company in 2010 and they are still wonderful! When Daryl came out I told him that it had been 30 years since I first used him to baby proof. How time flies! Outstanding service and commitment to excellence, as always. When we had the 1994 quake, my neighbors had damage inside their homes from falling objects. Daryl had come out and proofed the house before the quake and everything stayed in its place....no damage at all. In fact, my insurance company gave me a discount based on Daryl's preventative work. I cannot understand how anyone could give him a bad review. Daryl is so conscientious and stands behind his work and products, that I can't imagine that there would ever be an issue. When you hire him you will become a lifetime customer as well! Thank you so much Daryl! read more

Mr. Baby Proofer did a great job! We had him come to bolt our large pieces of furniture to the wall for earthquake and toddler safety! He was knowledgeable and honest about dangers that he saw. He worked quickly and left everything clean! He honored the initial price that he quoted us and was respectful and professional. Would definitely use him again! read more

Daryl came by today to put some baby gates on a complicated iron stairway, and put lock releases on our cabinet doors. His prices are very reasonable, he is professional and was good with communicating before our scheduled day or service, highly recommended. read more

Thanks Daryl! Your speedy service put me at ease for our upcoming first birthday party. The gates are perfect. Your knowledge and expertise is tip top. read more

I used Mr Baby Proofer a few years ago and am in need of another baby proofing company. I would not use this company ever again. They used the cheapest products and did not really give any advice on what needed to be baby proofed. read more

Daryl came to our place and was very thorough and honest. I thought the quote was very fair and reasonable. Chad was the installer on the next visit and he was fantastic. He completed the job beautifully and quickly (the gates look great in our home!). Everyone we interacted with at Mr. Baby Proofer was professional and friendly; from the scheduling, to the quote to the completion of the project. Highly recommend!! (Original recommendation came from our pediatrician so you know they are legit!) read more

We had Daryl install gates at the top and bottom of our hardwood stairs. He arrived exactly on time and spent time with me going over the different available options. I went with his suggestions and in the hour it took to install both gates I now feel like for the first time since we moved in here our boys ages 5 and 2 are safe. That peace of mind for us is priceless. I feel very confident in recommending his 21 or so years of experience in child proofing a home. read more

I think these guys are great. Thorough. Honest. Efficient. Quiet. They did my brother's house, 3 years, everything still works great. And when I asked my brother for a rec, he immediately said, Mr. Baby Proofer. Good family run business. And to the guy who is upset about the "hole drilled into his wall" for a baby gate. Come on, fella. Do the math. How do you think it works? read more

This company rocks! I love how detailed oriented they are. Daryl came to my preschool and showed me exactly what needed to get done to make sure that each and everyone of those children in my school were safe. When he came back the job was done clean and efficiently. He was even on time and answered every question I had. Thanks Daryl read more

Wow is all I can say! Daryl, the owner came to my home and went through all the different areas of my home. He pointed out tips that I could easily fix and gave me a great estimate. On the day of the installation the installer came out to get started. They were courteous, thoughtful professional and polite. They went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were satified and happy with all their work. They took the time to make sure both myself and my housekeeper knew how to use all the products. To end the already great experience Daryl reinstalled my car seat to bring it up to safety standards. Now I feel like my seven month old daughter is safer both at home and in the car. Thank you Mr. Baby Proofer!!!!! read more

I had a great experience with these guys in the babyproofing of our (formerly treacherous) three story loft. Highly recommended!

Daryl and Chad are the best! Daryl came out to Westwood and gave a very reasonable quote to babyproof our open floor plan home and Chad was there the next day to install everything. We had three gates installed beautifully that can be removed easily when not wanted and all bathroom and kitchen cabinets baby proofed. We also had some earthquake safety work done. All of this only took 3 hours. I highly recommend Mr. Babyproofer! read more

Fantastic service, great prices and quality products. We reached out to Daryl after several unsuccessful attempts to gate the top of our very wide staircase, among other DIY baby proofing fails--and he came through in a big way. He was thorough, honest and not at all a salesman trying to upsell me on anything. He even offered to install some of the baby proofing mechanisms we had already purchased (more on that later). We went with him for all recommendations including baby proofing all cabinets and drawers below counter height, a large baby gate at the top of the stairs, several door locks, toilet locks, cable channels for wires from the TV, outlet covers, fireplace locks, you name it! I could not be happier. I feel completely comfortable now letting my toddler run around upstairs, and everything works perfectly. On the day of install everything went smoothly, Daryl came by to check in and make sure we were all on the same page. Installer was professional and did a great job. The only minor thing is that the hardware we had purchased didn't actually get used so we ended up buying the new stuff through Daryl, but the actual price was still lower than quoted and I have no complaints at all. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them. Also, the customer service is fantastic. Jadie is awesome and she was super polite, courteous and even sent us a toilet lock when we thought we had been overcharged for one (it was put into our closet and not installed so we were not overcharged). Overall, we are really really happy and can't say enough positive things about Daryl and Jadie. Thank you!!! read more

Best choice ever! We tried to install our own gate and we couldn't make it work in the odd space we had, they came in a couple days and made it work and it looks great! Don't hesitate to get it done right and contact these guys. read more

Hats off to you and your very professional staff. Great experience from the first phone call to the finished product. My pool fence looks amazing like it should have come with the house. I know my balcony was a hard one but I love that I can look out at my view and I do not even see the plexi-glass. We are so happy Daryl! I was recommended to you from the ladies in my mommy and me class and they were right, You Rock! read more

We had Mr Baby Proofer come to our home to redo baby-proofing done by another "professional" baby proofer, who had done a terrible job. I wish we'd hired Daryl and Chad our first time around. The pricing was more reasonable and transparent and the work was far superior. Plus, when Chad was here he repaired a bathroom door for us that our handyman had told me was unfixable! Such nice, honest guys and solid, reliable work. Would recommend them without hesitation. read more

After spending an insane amount of money for his services and products, our house was fully baby proofed. But, within a month's time, one by one, each of the plastic pieces he installed on the doors and cabinets started to snap off. I feel like he did do a solid job and finding places that needed to be tended to. But, there's not much point if the tools he installs don't work. The worst part about the experience was the after math. Without telling us he was going to do it, he drilled a quarter size hole in our living room wall to put up a baby gate. I wouldn't have been so upset if I was asked prior to him doing this. But, instead, I had to find it when our child was old enough to have the baby gates taken down. He had drilled a huge hole, and then bolted an anchor behind the dry wall. Wouldn't you think you'd ask someone first before drilling a huge hole into their wall? Seems like common sense. When I called him and asked him to repair the hole for us, he laughed and said "absolutely not". read more

Mr baby proofer has no personality I worked for him and witness some very poor work man ship. Then he would always criticize how bad everyone else's work come out. Has no customer service skills with his customers after the job is done. Example a tall book case was already strapped to the wall properly with 2 straps. He took it upon him self to remove them and put on his stapes and charge the Customer for them when they did not need them. Fast talker he is said they were better than the ones previously installed. That is only one of many example of his work. After talking with a few people that know him and worked for him also agreed with the fact that he has no idea on how to communicate with his employers. That is why he has problems keeping guys working for him. Simi Valley is a small town. And Mr baby proofer is in his own world. I am not enjoying writing this review but I always give people the respect and honesty they deserve. Mr baby proofer needs to realize that someday his actions will catch up with him. read more

Very professional. Gives you all the info you need and allows you to make decisions based on your budget and priorities. I disagree with previous reviews that he's not a people person. He was nice, quietly did his work, explained the gates to us and did what he needed to do quickly. He was professional and clearly knowledgable about baby proofing. read more

We are thrilled with the service we received from Mr. Baby Proofer (AKA Daryl), who recently baby-proofed our home in The Valley. He started with a thorough, straightforward consultation where he told us what we needed vs. what we didn't. Didn't try to oversell anything. His pricing quote was reasonable and transparent, and he had the job done 24 hours later. He was responsive, constructive, and an altogether good guy to work with throughout, and we highly endorse him to anyone looking to take the thinking/schlepping/hassle of baby-proofing a home and get it done quickly, affordably, and sturdily. read more

Thanks Daryl. As you said you would, you returned our call, came out the next morning, and made repairs -- at no charge. We weren't looking for freebies, just responsiveness, but we appreciate you taking care of things very timely. As far as the gate goes, it seems we had a defective gate since three of the actual "welded" vertical bars (not just the zip ties) simply tore off the frame of the gate. This is not an install issue on your part, but simply a product defect issue, but a potentially serious once since the bars that ripped off are dangerous themselves (as well as the hole in the gate at the top of the stairs). Maybe you could send back the gate to the manufacturer so they can address the quality issues. Anyway, thanks again for living up to your word yesterday. read more

We had them do the work for our home. It was fast, not as pricey as I thought and efficient. It was a pleasure speaking with Jadie. Her husband was great too- very experienced. They even were able to get us in sooner than originally booked, which was great because my little one was already tired of his playpen.. He's very happy to be safely exploring now! Thank you read more

We had Mr. Baby Proofer baby proof our house yesterday and we couldn't be more happy. When Daryl came out to do the estimate he did not try to oversell me on anything. In fact, he told me I didn't need several gates that I thought we needed. Daryl and Chad installed everything yesterday and were fast, efficient and professional. Also, the materials they used (gates and pool fence) look great. They went above and beyond by fixing a broken drawer and hanging a baby web cam for me. We also thought the invoice was reasonable. We highly recommend them. read more

Not sure why others had such bad experiences, but we are very pleased with this company. The installation was professional and thorough. The cost was reasonable given the time that it would have taken to do this ourselves. read more

Not sure why someone gave them a bad review, but they obviously never met with Daryl. Not only is everything of excellent quality, he thought of everything possible that the baby could get to and is extremely knowledgable. We plan on moving in the next couple of years, and you can be sure we will be using Mr. Baby Proofer again!!! read more

We just finished an installation. We enjoyed meeting with Daryl for the evaluation and Ron completed the installation. Both were very professional, made relevant and important observations and did well with the installation. I would certainly use them again or recommend for baby proofing services. You'll never fully appreciate the value of the products if their solutions prevent an unknown injury. read more

Their approach was so quantity versus quality that they forgot to baby proof a bunch of things in my home, which they had formerly included in the estimate. I then had to wait a month to get them to come back. In addition, some of the latches they used were of extremely poor quality and broke right away. They also permanently attached furniture to the wall without allowing me to situate it properly first. And all of this was extremely expensive. read more

SHOP AROUND FIRST! Was very unhappy with this service. First the man comes to your house and does a survey of all his suggestions for baby proofing and gives you an estimate. Then when he came back to do the job - I was told that he couldn't secure heavy mirrors "because they didn't have the kind of wiring he needs" that maybe "I should get some wax" and do it myself?? What is the point of hiring a "baby proofing expert" and being told to do it myself? He didn't even take the time when he was doing the first survey to look on back of mirrors and see that he didn't have the supply he would need to do job? Then he couldn't secure any of the bottom drawers in my kitchen because they "wouldn't fit" his ONE kind of latch. This is the expert who has been in business for 25 years and only has 1 kind of latch or too bad they can't be babyproofed?? so now I ended up spending $1400 and my house is not even close to being baby proofed. Plus they arrived an hour and a half late. They did not clean up wood dust piles from where they drilled - even in my baby's room! and when I called to complain - they listened but never called back with any apologies or further suggestions. ANYONE COULD DO THIS BETTER!!! SHOP AROUND!!! read more
