Rhoost: Babyproofing with style.

Posted: May 24th, 2010 | 50 Comments »

I hate babyproofing. HATE it. I had one safety lock on V’s closet that nearly gave me a heart attack every time I opened it because it was so hard to use. I opted out of having a coffee table instead of covering ours with gross plastic that would inevitably get food and other gross stuff stuck in it. Plus, I admit it, I’m a total snob when it comes to stuff like that.

Now that Clementine is starting to become more mobile it’s that time again. Just when I started to be able to trust that Violet wouldn’t harm herself if every single cabinet in our house wasn’t locked, I have to do it all over again. Thankfully, I came across Rhoost & they happily agreed to send me some samples.

Rhoost was started by Vianka Perez Belyea & Tavinder Phull in Newton, MA. With two great names like that I have to admit, I was expecting a lot. They totally delivered! Rhoost products are not only nice to look at, they are functional, affordable, portable, are BPA, lead, phthalate-free and 100% recyclable. They also come in two colors, brown & black so they can actually compliment your home instead of making it look like a plastic covered atrocity. Now my house looks like a fancy atrocity! We tested both the Edge om & the Sling hub, both were great & super easy to install. The Edge om on my husband’s work table is hardly noticeable and he can take it on & off as he pleases without putting a mark on the table. To see just how easy they are to use, check out these videos. I’m very excited to see how Rhoost grows over time.

I am so happy with these, and the best part is, Vianka has graciously decided to let us host a giveaway!

    Ok. Now that Sadie is FINALLY walking she is all over the place & into everything. We have come to tying kitchen towels through our door handles to prevent her from getting to the cleaning supplies, food etc… but It has been next to impossible to keep ALL the doors closed, and since she isn’t (yet) a pro on her feet, she constantly bumps into the table.
    I watched the videos & these Edge Om’s look perfect for our table and so easy to install. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE that they are (of course bpa free), but RECYCLABLE!!!! YEAH!!!

    We totally need these!!! Delia has started scooting and we’re in big trouble. These look so much easier to use than those yucky plastic ones we’ve had in the past.

    I really like that they are darker colours – we have some horrible plastic ones and I feel really ashamed every time someone comes to our house to visit!

    My favorite thing is that the products are BPA, lead, and phthalate free because I want nothing but natural for my daughter.

    i just started ugh-ing about this. like a day ago. we have the most irritatingly hard house to child proof because we have the weird door handles not knobs and no knobs on our cabinets. maybe i should just add knobs so I can use something like this.

    I love that these babyproofing items look nice and are not bulky (they’re sleek!)

  14. 14 Andrea said at 11:07 pm on May 29th, 2010:

    I love that they don’t require adhesives or screws. That would be so much better for my furniture.

    The lack of adhesives or screws make these these so much more furniture friendly.

  18. 18 shawna said at 1:44 pm on June 2nd, 2010:

    These look easy to use than the plastic ones and alot prettier too!

  19. 19 Katherine said at 4:49 pm on June 2nd, 2010:

    I think the coolest parts are that they are screw and adhesive free installs and they will blend alot better than the white or shiny clear that most other manufacturers seem to choose. My little squirt is going to be getting everywhere soon, so I should probably get on the ball and get some babyproofing done. Thanks for the giveaway!

  20. 20 Sonya said at 6:17 pm on June 2nd, 2010:

    I love how attractive they are! I’m so sick of all the nasty breakable plastic ones!

  21. 21 Nancy said at 6:44 pm on June 2nd, 2010:

    The coolest things about their products : they make child home safety easy while blending in with your home decor. Their products don’t garishly stick out and scream “baby-proofing” even if you are!

    I like how they look and how easy it seems to install thanks for the chance to win

  23. 23 Trina C said at 12:01 am on June 3rd, 2010:

    I so need these. The typical ones aren’t working for my child he can still pull the door open. I love that these do not require to be screwed in and therefore don;t ruin the cabinet or furniture.

    I love that Rhoost baby proofing products aren’t tacky white plastic adaptors, and fit in!

    I like that the table corner protectors are adhesive-free. We bought a few corner protectors (and need even more) but they use adhesive and I’m sure some of the furniture we put them on might be damaged when they get removed. I also love that they are free of BPA, PVC and lead…because goodness know eventually they WILL get chewed on, at least once. :-)

    I think the coolest thing about Rhoost products is that they don’t look as different to use or install as other baby proofing products. That is important because I don’t want to baby proof my cabinets and table to wear I can’t get in them or stand to look at it. Thanks for the chance.
