There are a fair number of floorstanding speakers where the drivers are placed at the top of the column and the grille covers only that part. The Merlin is an example, so are some ProAcs and Wharfedale Diamonds.
A second alternative is to get speakers with punched metal grilles. AV123 currently makes some models that way and the later ADS floorstanding columns had punched metal grilles as well, including the L1090 and L1290, and the generation that followed including the M12 and M15. These were very clean and linear speakers in sealed cabinets, so there's no port either.
I got a pair of L1090's right after our first baby was born and I had no worries about her poking her fingers into the drivers or stuffing toys into the ports (cuz there aren't any).
There are several ADS speakers, including a pair of M15s in like-new condition (I've seen 'em and they are definitely 9.5 condition) available here.
