Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over


Looking for the sturdy bottom weighted stands so my baby doesn't knock off my Klipsch RP600s or whatever other bookshelves I'm playing with at the time.  I'm not really looking for audiophile anything as these are for a bedroom. 

It's hard to tell "sturdy-ness" online.  I would love a granite or marble base for weight but not sure that's affordable.

Any one have any experience with this?

Just a personal story to share.  I was playing fetch with my dog one day and the ball went into the area where I had my setup.  The speakers I was listening to that day were 17 pounds each and on stands, of course.  So she chases the ball that had gone directly behind one of the speakers.  She gets it, but on her way back up, she gets tangled up in the speaker cable, dropping the speaker.  Luckily and gratefully, nothing happened to her.  She saw it coming and was quick to move out of the way.  The speaker had damage on 2 very sharp opposing corners.  That situation could've been very ugly at the very least.  Yes, the whole thing was my fault.  This could've have also easily been a baby.  Moral of the story:  no speakers on stands EVER around any kids or pets.
