[quote=Anonymous]We hired a company to do a walk through and advise us on what to babyproof and to estimate the cost for them to implement their recommendations. What they recommended seemed insane and like total overkill. It was also going to cost several thousand dollars. We paid for the walk through and said no thanks to them doing any of the install. Fast forward 6-9 months and I'm pretty sure every single thing they recommended we've either now done out of necessity or still need to do. Our kid is everywhere, into everything, and often engaging in dangerous behavior. Point being, the amount of babyproofing you need to do really depends on your kid. We had to temporarily get rid of our family room coffee table (which has round edges) and I cannot imagine having a dining table with exposed square edges. Our child hits his head on our kitchen table routinely, but all of the edges are round. Can you at least cover your dining table with a thick table cloth for several months? Better yet, pad and then cover it. I initially thought it was ridiculous to live without our coffee table and didn't want our house taken over by the baby, but I am now grateful for all of the accidents we've avoided. [/quote]
