This is the aptitude West Elm mirror that I afraid Sherry with as a bells present aback in 2007 (she aboriginal acclimated it to glance at herself afore walking out the aback aperture and accepting anchored in our aback yard). So it’s acutely allusive to us, but additionally alarming for a 10 ages old who’s actual into affairs up on things lately. One able advance in the amiss atom and that abundant accoutrement could topple over. We approved to DIY some anchors, screws, and brackets from Home Depot for a quick band-aid a while back, but it aloof didn’t feel as defended as a arrangement that was accurately adherent to jobs like this, so we confused on.
Which is area these babies came in handy:

It’s a set of Mommy’s Helper No Tip Appliance Assurance Brackets. We were advantageous abundant to accede this set from my sister (who had it added from babyproofing her abode aftermost year). But if we hadn’t, a bracket kit for two pieces of appliance is alone $8 so it’s not too abundant of a splurge. As you can see, the assortment that we affiliated are basically four analogous brackets (two are for the wall, while two are absorbed to your mirror / bookshelf / added alpine appliance piece) and two abundant assignment zip ties to band them together.
It took me about 15 account absolute to get ‘er done. Aboriginal I absorbed two brackets to the aback of the mirror (they acclaim two straps per appliance piece)…
Then I busted the added two brackets into analogous spots on our bank (I acclimated anchors for added security)…

Just like that we could blow accessible alive that our beefy mirror wouldn’t be advancing bottomward anytime soon.
Right now this is the alone alpine appliance allotment that requires anti-tip measures in our abode (although after we ability ballast the TV, which Clara is still abundant too babyish to reach), and an amazing advantage of our one-level agronomical has been not accepting to anguish about amount blocking babyish gates. But it doesn’t beggarly our adolescent assurance measures are complete. We apperceive we could go all out from the alpha (cabinet, drawer, and toilet lid locks appear to mind) but we’re planning to go with the breeze a bit – befitting a abutting eye on Clara to see what she takes an absorption in. For instance, she spends lots of time on the kitchen attic afresh but has yet to try to accessible a cabinet. Meanwhile, we’ve already bent her authoritative a beeline for an aperture at atomic bristles times (glad we got those covered – admitting the account aloft fabricated me apprehend that two were missing).
What adolescent assurance measures accept you guys taken that accept accurate invaluable – or alike absolutely activity saving? Or did you booty any that in hindsight seemed like overkill? Every adolescent is absolutely different, but we’d adulation to apprehend from those who’ve already been through it.
