Safe Kids USA shares tips to prevent furniture tip-overs in this video. Regardless of your child’s abilities and limitations, top-heavy furniture, TVs and appliances can tip over and seriously injure young children. There are many easy-to-install devices that anchor furniture to the wall, making furniture more stable and tip-over resistant. These devices are designed for dressers, wall units and anything your little explorer might try to climb.

Very nice video. I'm currently doing safety modifications for my cousins house since she has a new baby coming in soon. Glad I stumbled on this post, very helpful!
that a very helpful video.
when i was little i climbed on a bookshelf, it fell over with my brother underneath – my parents secured everything after that!
(oh brother was fine!)
There are some good tips in that video. When I was a kid, I tipped over a bookshelf and it hit my leg. I had to go to the hospital. Turns out I had broken a bone. It wasn't a fun experience.
At the preschool I had my fish tank on an unstable shelf for over a year. I asked for a better one and was told this one would do.
Wow. As a parent, that deeply concerns me. I own a fish tank and they are super heavy. That falls, it could seriously injure a child.
I would hate for a piece of furniture to ruin my child's life. I could never forgive myself for allowing something as simple as anchoring my furniture to the wall to get in the way of my child's future.
