Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over

OP: If you have the space, maybe get a credenza that fits your space, a pair of isolation stands (e.g. IsoAcoustics Aperta 300), and call it a day.

If you cannot do that, look for stands with a wide and sturdy base, and where the columns can be filled with sand or kitty litter. Second, use something like blu-tak to stick the speakers to the top of the stands. Third, see if you can put small ottomans right behind the speaker stands so they can provide support if the baby tries to use the stands to practice standing up.

By the way, no speaker or audio component has ever replicated the joy of seeing my baby stand up on his own without any support from the parents. Enjoy the moment! It'll be gone before you know it :)

The other day, i was reaching for an album in my record storage and as I was moving back, momentarily lost my balance and shoved up against my left speaker! This nearly resulted in the speaker falling off the stand and doing God knows how much damage! To say my heart stopped would be about right!!!  There is no such thing as a speaker on a stand that cannot be knocked off unless it is an integral part of the stand! Lesson learned is to be as careful as possible around stand mount speakers, and I would think if you have a baby around, the stand mount speakers are a no no, period! 

Anything that’s tall with a narrow base can be knocked over. But if its just tipping over you are worried about, the only real thing you can do is get a wide plant stand with a very large top plate--something probably multiples the size of the speakers themselves. At this point its basically putting them on a small table. Will affect acoustics a bit, but less likely to fall over.

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.
