Hospitals are unfortunately no strangers to injuries related to TV and furniture tip overs. In 2016 alone, there were 11,800 incidents of children rushed to the ER from injuries related to these tip overs according to the CPSC. At SANUS, our goal is to push that number to zero.
Part of our mission is to help you create a safe environment for the little ones in your home. We want to provide solutions so you can secure both your TVs and your furniture safely in every room of your home.
A TV mount gets your flatscreen TV up and out of reach from curious little hands that like to grab and pull. By attaching it directly into studs on the wall, the TV is soundly secured and the safest way to protect your kiddos from a potential TV tip over. A TV mount also improves your viewing quality and flexibility at the same time, making it a win-win situation.
If your living situation prohibits you from mounting the TV directly to the wall, don’t worry, there is another option. An anti-tip strap is a great solution as it attaches to the backside of your flat panel TV, the furniture it is sitting on, and then directly to the stud in your wall.
You can even use it solely on furniture, particularly the big heavy dressers. This means that you can have a safe, worry-free environment for your children.
An anti-tip strap can be attached in as little as ten minutes. So, here’s how to easily secure your furniture and TV to the wall with an anti-tip strap.
And that’s how easy it is to secure the TV and furniture in your living space to create a safer environment for the whole family to enjoy!
