Parents spend more than $1 billion a year on products to safeguard their children. Child safety products have become one of the fastest growing industries in the market. With more dual income families than ever, parents are increasingly putting those discretionary dollars to use – on their children. Ever-increasing knowledge and awareness of safety issues are now prompting parents to become more adamant about the well being of their children than at any other time in history.

You can establish a business in which you go into homes and conduct a troubleshooting session for parents who have young kids and babies.

Are the outlets exposed? Is there bleach under the kitchen sink or other harmful chemicals within reach of the children? Could a child fall down a staircase or from a deck?

These are the types of situations you’ll be looking to uncover as you help parents childproof their home from potential disaster.

You’ll need to brush up on what things to look for, so talk to a lot of parents and find out what steps they’ve taken to make their homes safe for their kids and babies. You can generate additional income by offering to fix what’s wrong and to install special locks, clamps, etc. to safeguard children in their homes.
