HOW TO CHILDPROOF FURNITURE

Edge and corner guards

Sharp corners and edges of furniture can injure a child who runs into or falls onto them. Edge and corner guards are usually made from soft foam which is secured to the furniture with a strong adhesive. For the edges, it often comes in a roll, which can be cut to size.

Anti-tip furniture straps

Furniture could be dangerous to a child who tries to climb on it and pulls it down. Tall furniture like a bookcase or chest of drawers poses the biggest risk. Anti-tip furniture straps attach to the furniture and the wall behind to keep them securely upright.

If you have a large, freestanding flatscreen television, it would be a very good idea to use anti-tip TV straps to attach it to the furniture it stands on and the wall behind. This is because since July 2008 there have been eight fatalities of a baby or child struck by a falling TV. You can read more here.
