On average, one child dies every two weeks when a television, piece of furniture or appliance falls on top of them.

No matter how small or tall, how heavy or light – all televisions and furniture, MUST be properly secured to a wall stud and only into solid wood, not the flimsy pieces of backboard of some pieces of furniture.

We’ve gathered a list of devices that can be used to secure furniture safely – remember that not all devices work for all pieces of furniture or in all locations in your household where that furniture might be in a room – choose carefully and appropriately.

The best and safest of all safety straps! They are baby, toddler and earthquake proof. They include everything you need to easily install them with just a screwdriver in less than 15 minutes. The straps are multifunctional (allow you to secure TVs, changing tables, drawers, bookshelves, etc.), 100% adjustable and have a jaw grip made of solid metal as opposed to plastic used by most other manufacturers.
