About This Blog

Hello and welcome to Parentville! We know how hard it is to balance everything as a busy parent and we're here to help! We hope to foster an open "Town Hall" format where parents will feel free to share their experiences - both Moms and Dads.

We will be focusing on firsthand reviews of products and services, and how products can be made better to suit parents' needs, using a "Why didn't they think of that?" approach taken directly from our daily parenting experiences.

A little about us:

Nicole- I'm a mom to a 2 yr old in the New York City area, Parentville co-founder, marketing executive and aspiring writer.

Safety First - Convenience and Decor Second

I was just in the process of purchasing the child safety locks I posted below for my file and kitchen cabinets - again. The first go around they broke; it seems they can’t withstand the wear and tear that I give them every day opening and closing.  However, these are the most adjustable, flexible locks for cabinets that do not have standard knobs and for people who don’t want to drill holes.

The other suggestion I’ll make is making these in at least a few wood shaded colors. Why are most of the childproof pieces mostly white?  While it may prohibit the child a bit more from attempting entry, it stands out much more, especially when you have an open house and people are looking around carefully.

Last, the only major online store I’ve found that sells these two together is Buybuybaby.com.  Kudos to this store, as they also have a concise range of products that should fit nearly all your childproofing needs!
