A focused 3-hour home visit at 9–18 months. We refresh your certifications with attention to toddler-specific hazards, update your car seat for their current stage, and rebuild your safety plan for a climbing, exploring kid.
Starting at $499 (returning families).

Most parents find out their car seats were wrong at the pediatrician. Most learn infant CPR in a hospital class and never practice the skills again. Most homes aren't assessed until after the first close call. Before Baby exists so your family is prepared first , with a judgement-free, fear-free approach designed to lift the mental load off you and replace it with real peace of mind.

Ten Bay Area families. One full afternoon each.
Before our public launch, our founding practitioner ran a small invite-only beta with Bay Area families. These are their words, shared with permission. Last names and exact addresses are abbreviated for their privacy.
The Before Baby Visit™
"Our practitioner turned what felt like an overwhelming checklist into something I actually understood. By the end of the afternoon, our car seat was right, every adult in the room was AHA Heartsaver Pediatric certified, and we had an actionable child proofing plan for every room."
Maya R.
First-time mom, 32 weeks . Noe Valley, SF
The Before Baby Visit™
"The CPST-certified car seat install was meticulous and our practitioner walked us through infant CPR until both of us could do it without thinking. The whole afternoon was the calmest we have felt since the positive test."
Daniel K.
Dad of a newborn . Berkeley
The Before Baby Visit™
"We had two car seats, a long list of fears, and almost no time. Both installs were handled and all four of our adults left AHA Heartsaver Pediatric certified. Genuinely the best baby money we have spent."
Priya & Sam
Expecting twins . Palo Alto
The Toddler Visit
"Our toddler started climbing everything overnight. They rebuilt our whole actionable child proofing plan around a mobile kid, installed her car seat for her current stage, and ran us through choking response with real food. I sleep better now."
Jessica M.
Mom of a 14-month-old . Mill Valley
The Before Baby Visit™
"I am a planner and I still missed things in the safety consultation. Our practitioner caught them without making me feel bad about it. The AHA Heartsaver Pediatric certification alone was worth the visit."
Andre T.
New dad . Oakland
The Toddler Visit
"We did this with our second once he started crawling, and immediately wished something like this had existed for our first. The CPST-certified toddler car seat install was museum-grade, the CPR session was hands-on, and the updated room-by-room plan is something I still reference."
Hannah L.
Mom of two . San Mateo
The Before Baby Visit™
"The kind of practitioner you wish you had as a friend. Slows down, explains things, treats your home like it matters, and leaves nothing half-done."
Marcus & Elena
Expecting first baby . San Francisco
The Before Baby Visit™
"My in-laws gifted us the visit. I was skeptical. I am not anymore. Thorough, kind, and made my husband (who hates these conversations) actually engaged the whole afternoon."
Rachel S.
Grandparent gift recipient . Walnut Creek
The Before Baby Visit™
"We had already taken a hospital CPR class and still learned more here. Practical, hands-on, and tailored to our actual baby and our actual house. We will book the Toddler Visit when he starts pulling up."
Kevin H.
Dad of a 6-month-old . Burlingame
The Before Baby Visit™
"Calm, professional, and clearly cares. They answered every nervous question I had across all four parts of the visit without ever making me feel silly."
Sophia D.
First-time mom . Marin County
