Goosery comes to iPhone soon.
What Goosery does
It points out what could hurt your baby
You take two photos of each room, one from the doorway and one from a crawling baby's eye level. Goosery looks through them for things like a dresser that could tip over.
It puts the most serious fixes first
Everything it finds goes on one to-do list, with the items that could do the most harm at the top. Anything you've already handled, you check off.
It keeps up as your baby grows
Goosery plans from your due date or your baby's birth date. Before each new stage, it reminds you to photograph your rooms again, and that stage's items join your list.
Your first crib check is free, and so is a count of the hazards in each room. For a one-time fee, the full plan lists every item with its fix.
What Goosery looks for
- Furniture tip-over
- Electrical
- Choking
- Falls
- Burns and scalds
- Water
- Poisoning
- Entrapment
- Sleep setup
- Sharp edges
- Cords and strangulation
- Everything else
A photo can't show whether a dresser is strapped to the wall, or what temperature your water heater is set to. Goosery asks you to check things like that by hand.
Every standard behind the plan is reviewed and signed by a practicing pediatrician. Read where the advice comes from.
