FAQs Baby & Toddler Room Setup
How do I know my baby and toddler room is actually safe, not just assembled?
Assembly alone does not make a room safe. A cot positioned near a window blind cord, a bookcase that is not anchored to the wall, or a change table placed where a rolling baby could reach the edge are all hazards that look fine at first glance. Every Baby & Toddler Room Setup with First Steps Safe Steps includes a detailed safety consultation of the entire room so that what gets assembled is also genuinely safe.
What furniture in a baby and toddler room is a tipping risk?
Bookshelves, chest of drawers, and wardrobes are the most common tipping hazards in a baby and toddler room. A toddler who pulls on an open drawer or climbs a shelf can bring a piece of furniture down quickly. Every setup includes furniture anchoring assessment and recommendations as part of the safety consultation.
Do I need a professional to assemble a cot or can I do it myself?
You can assemble a cot yourself, but incorrect assembly is more common than parents expect and the consequences of a failure are serious. A professional setup ensures every item is assembled to manufacturer specifications and checked for stability before your baby uses it.
What hazards do parents most commonly miss when setting up a baby and toddler room?
Blind cord loops within reach of the cot, unsecured bookshelves and drawers, power points at floor level, and baby monitors with accessible cords are the four most frequently identified hazards during a professional Baby & Toddler Room Setup in Sydney. None of them are obvious until someone who knows what to look for points them out.
How do I baby proof a baby and toddler room in a rental property in Sydney?
Most baby and toddler room safety solutions are renter-friendly. Furniture anchoring straps, blind cord tensioners, and outlet plugs require no permanent wall damage. Where a modification does require landlord consent under NSW tenancy law, the safety consultation will advise on the best approach for your specific rental situation.
When is the right time to book a Baby & Toddler Room Setup service?
The ideal time is four to eight weeks before your due date. This gives enough time to receive the itemised quote, source any outstanding furniture, and have everything assembled and safety-checked before the baby arrives. Same-week appointments are available across greater Sydney for parents who need to move quickly.
What is the difference between getting the room assembled and getting it baby proofed?
Assembly puts the furniture together. Baby proofing makes it safe. The two are not the same thing. The Baby & Toddler Room Setup service covers both: full assembly of your furniture on the day, plus a whole-home safety consultation that identifies hazards in the room and throughout the rest of the house.

Fantastic Service
Fantastic service. Mitch gives great advice on baby proofing. He opened our eyes to where we needed to baby proof and also saved us money by making sure we didn’t “over baby proof” our house. He was tidy and did a great job installing baby proofing around our house. Thanks again we will definitely refer you to our friends and family!

Greatly Appreciated
I would like to thank Mitch for his help in “Twinado” proofing our living areas. His prompt and efficient service is greatly appreciated (though not by the twins, they were less than impressed that they could no longer get into my DVD cabinets!)

Prompt & Reliable Service
I contacted First Steps Safe Steps to install safety gates. They offered an appointment 2 days later and came at the agreed time. Mitchell was able to fix all our problems on the spot and provided further advice. We choose the roller blind gates that have a slim and discreet look. Thanks so much Mitchell for the prompt and reliable service. We now have more freedom and peace of mind while caring for our little 1 year old. I definitely recommend their services.

Fantastic Experience
I had a fantastic experience with First Steps Safe Steps today…
It was SO easy…I rang Mitchell (the owner) to arrange a time, he then visited our house, assessed what was needed to ‘baby proof’, provided a quote, and then installed all requested items…all within two hours!
Mitchell was super friendly and polite, did a great job, cleaned up afterwards, and even offered to do an odd job that he noticed while there. I can’t recommend it more highly!!
