Kidco Anti-tip TV Straps

The KidCo Anti-Tip TV Straps installs quickly to prevent accidental toppling over of flat screen televisions. Each package contains two straps and an assortment of screws to fit most televisions.

Flat screen televisions are light weight compared to the older box models. But they still pose a serious threat of injury to children. Your little explorer is not equipped to think of the dangers if they decide to climb on the piece of furniture where your television is placed. They may be reaching for what they see on the screen or accidentally bump into it while playing and exploring. That television can fall with the force of a thousand pounds causing serious head and internal injuries which can be fatal. 

In the US alone, someone is injured every 15 minutes from a tipping piece of furniture. According to Health Canada, more than 70% of injuries caused by tipping televisions and furniture happened to children between 1 and 3 years of age. 

In the US, on average, a child dies every 2 weeks when a television or piece of furniture falls on them. These are horrifying statistics and can be prevented with a little knowledge and taking a few moments to secure televisions and furniture. All televisions in your home should be secured.
