We recently removed the bulky pre-LCD era TV from the master bedroom after we read from the newspapers that a kid died when a TV fell on him. The TV was placed at the edge of our 5-tier drawer cupboard with antennas on the TV top. Now that the girls are sleeping in this bedroom, we should make the room as child-proof as possible to prevent accidents. Knowing that I have 3 hyper active and rambunctious kids, I should trust my motherly instinct the minute I sense any danger. The old TV was given away to a friend.
Usually what happens is the kid pulls out the drawers and uses them like steps to get to the top of the dresser, and that causes the topple. Best to get the horizontal-type dressers. Places like Ikea should carry brackets that can secure the dresser to the wall. Also, can get special brackets to secure a TV to the wall so it is suspended. My friend did one TV above the fireplace, and a smaller one in her kitchen above the counter top. Much safer with smaller kids around.
