King of Prussia, Pennsylvania: Fact: More than 10,000,000 children in the U.S. will visit the emergency each year – What about the rest of the world? While there are a few common interests throughout the world, one speaks volumes among all countries – Children and Safety.

Safe & Sound is pleased to announce the opening of its first international franchise in Mexico. "We are very concerned about the safety and well-being of our children in Mexico, says Mauricio Cervera. Until we found the Safe & Sound system, there was very few safety sources available to parents."

Mauricio, along with his wife Guillermina and brother in-law, Nacho Pagaza, have completed their certification training requirements which enables them to evaluate homes for potential health and safety hazards and to install safety devices designed to be functional yet architecturally appealing.

"We believe safety is a global concern, remarks Richard Shandelman, a product engineer who founded the Safe & Sound system in 1992. It’s parents natural instinct to provide a safe environment for their children, whether they live in Los Angeles or Beijing."

"Child safety services are a growing need in our country, comments Cervera. We had spent a long time evaluating the feasibility of this much needed service, but lacked the expertise". Cervera found Safe & Sound while surfing on the web. "We found Safe & Sound’s web site, and said this is perfect for our needs, but will their message get lost in the translation."

"Safe & Sound’s training program was the most complete education and training experience I have ever encountered, remarks Nacho Pagaza after his training session. They went out of their way to solve specific safety concerns and needs we have here in Mexico."

The team intends to expand the Safe & Sound system throughout Mexico, initially opening multiple offices in the Mexico City region.

"We are very excited about our new Mexico team, Shandelman adds. While we had several qualified candidates, none exuded the qualities and passion of Mauricio, Guillermina, and Nacho."

The Safe & Sound concept incorporates parental education in the safety system. All products are tested at the corporate headquarters and are professional installed to insure proper functioning. Safe & Sound is the only home safety system guided by a Safety Advisory Council comprising psychologists, nationally and internationally recognized safety specialists, scholars, as well as other notable physicians.
Homes outfitted with the Safe & Sound home safety system help parents create a positive environment. Instead of saying "no," caregivers can encourage their children to broaden their horizons by freely exploring the home—the child’s first frontier.
