How to Baby Proof a Glass Coffee Table
If you have toddlers and a glass coffee table at home, baby proofing them can be a bit of a challenge, but fear not; it is possible. Here are some tips to help you keep your coffee table looking its best and your little ones away from harm.
Use Sticky Tape
Taping off the edges of your coffee table with a soft, clear sticky tape will provide a cushion against hard edges significantly reducing the chances of injury.
Safely Cover The Table
Purchase a childproof cover for the glass top. These covers come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can still keep your coffee table looking great even after baby-proofing it.
Secure the Table
Secure the table to the wall or floor using a flat head screw. This will help prevent it from unexpectedly tipping over – particularly important if you have young, adventurous children at home.
Storage Solutions
Keep any glass items or small objects out of the reach of small children by setting up permanent storage solutions such as wall-mounted shelving or storage boxes.
Keeping Your Coffee Table and Your Kids Safe
Keeping a glass coffee table baby-proof is an important part of being a responsible parent. Follow these tips and you can be sure your coffee table is free of harm and your kids are kept safe:
- Use sticky tape to cushion the edges of the table.
- Purchase a childproof cover to protect the glass top.
- Secure the table to the wall or floor.
- Keep objects away from reach with storage solutions.
