Child Damage Mitigation


Last week the wife and I brought a new baby home - our first - and it's been fun introducing her to the music we love. It dawned on me this morning that this child will be crawling before I know it and my lovely pair of Magnepan 3.7's might be sitting ducks. They're less agile than the cat, closer to the ground than the house plants, and more fragile than the couch. As I've calculated I've got approximately 6 months to find a way to prevent any child-induced damage so your input is greatly appreciated. What can I learn from the grand wisdom of AG about how to keep the kid away from the speakers?

Raised 2 now 2 grand kids no problems with floor standers, never been touched.
Was more worried about montors on stands.
Kids take direction remarkably well.
geof3,

...but children actually learn the word “no”.
Did you win the lottery, too?

I am trying to pick the word for this moment. Envious or jealous?
Invert your thinking. Literally. Consider ceiling mounting your maggies. Same location as now, just hang them from the ceiling. I my last house, the perfect location for the speakers would have also destroyed a beautiful view and much of the utility of the room. Solution was to hang them from the ceiling. Admittedly the soundstage was elevated, but otherwise they sounded fabulous. Just be sure to hit for ceiling joists with your mounts, and run the speaker wires through the ceiling, and down the inside of the walls to your amp. 
I had Magneplanar Tympani IVs when my kids were babies/toddlers. These were probably no more stable than your 3.7s. I never had a problem (at least with the kids...the cats were another story). 
Congrats on the little one.  My four year old is number six and more rambunctious than her four older brothers ever were. 

Over the years I've found that what works best with children is giving them lots and lots of attention and not sweating the small stuff.  For example any messing about with power outlets, the stove or my speakers was a resounding "NO!"  Whereas the electronics, the refrigerator or certain furniture, while off-limits didn't get the DEFCON-1 treatment.

By keeping it simple, the kids always know where they stand.
