how to prevent TV from tipping over?
I have heard stories of TV's getting tipped over on top of kids, and have
noticed that my own 32" tube tv is quite "front heavy" and can easily be tipped forward. I'd like to find some sort of solution to this problem, that will keep the TV in place. Perhaps a strap with a ratchet type clip, or maybe some sort of bracked that attaches to the back of the TV? I have not had much luck searching stores nor searching the internet. Any advise would be much appreciated. thanks! |

Can you ask them what those things are called? Go look for yourself. Maybe they even sell them. |

The TVs at school have a ratchet strap going all the way around them, and
bolted on both sides to the cart for this purpose. -- Donna DeVore Metler Orff Music Specialist/Band/Choir Mother to Angel Brian Anthony 1/1/2002, 22 weeks, severe PE/HELLP And Allison Joy, 11/26/04 (35 weeks, PIH, Pre-term labor) |

Our Tv sits on a wooden unit that is much longer and wider than the Tv(68cm) and it sits back further so the weight is more at the back , has 2 or 3 inches clear in front of the Tv before the edge of the unit, it is very stable,does that make any sense?

As most Californians can attest, you can get straps for your TV in any
earthquake preparedness store. We have them on our large TVs and although they haven't been tested to the total ability of the straps yet (and hopefully they never will be), I've been told by those who know that they work quite well.

Try one of these: http://www.totsafe.com/products.asp?cat=7 ("Safety Locking Straps 2-pack") http://www.kidsmartliving.com/tvsafetystraps.html Those were the two different kinds of systems I could find (though several different online stores had them, so these links may not be the best price).
