Babyproofing Stand-mounted speakers

Dan I know you meant no harm, but with all due respect, some of us ARE contending with bigger issues. Issues that prohibit the expectations that you take for granted. Issues that are increasing at an alarming rate. And here's the important part, issues that usually aren't discovered untill after the age of two years. Even my most guarded attempts have not saved my child from some misfortunate accidents. Even if one is dealing with typical children, I honestly believe that a child should be within arms reach in the face of potential hazards or remove the hazard. It is my own opinion that it is unfair and cavalier to expect reliabilty during the learning stages. Pardon me if I prefer to err on the side of safety, I was only trying to save others the misfortune of dealing with a preventable accident. With that said, I do sincerely wish you and your family as well as all fellow Audiogoner's and their families health and happiness.

When my son was this age he could easily knock down 67lbs. floor standers. These children are only going to get bigger and stronger and more daring and rambunctious. I would avoid any and all possible toxic substances. My son either broke or thought through any and every childproof device and gate we tried. I suggest raising all electrical devices high and STABLE, hide all wiring behind heavy furniture and tether any thing that could be hazardous to corner/walls. With any luck it will only be a couple of years before they can be reliably taught to respect adult toys. The only other responsible option is to have a locked dedicated room to escape to while your child is under appropriate supervision elsewhere. One of the biggest dangers is large monitor TV's on typical TV stands ( especially ones with "turntable platforms". These stands are notorious for tipping onto little cruisers! These are special times, enjoy them as much as possible. Your recordings will be there latter.
