Sunday, in Arizona, a three year old was injured by a falling piece of furniture. This little one broke his femur and will be OK ... He was so lucky!  So many times when this happens it is more serious and even deadly. As parents and grandparents we feel that "it won't happen to us".  No one thinks it will happen to them!  When it comes to furniture....the center of balance can shift and even a short dresser or a heavy piece of furniture can fall.

Many pieces of furniture and TV's are required to have an anchor included when you purchase them.  These anchors are usually not very good.  They are plastic and deteriorate and break.  In the childproofing world.....childproofers have invented products because similar products have proven to be less effective.  #Childproofers do not like to return for broken devices because the devise is defective.  Arizona Childproofers uses several different types of #FurnitureAnchors.  One is a steel anchor, one is a Velcro anchor that is rated for earthquakes and our favorite is a Furniture Strap with steel fittings.  This is one of our favorites.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding things that we can do.  It is also one of the hardest things that we can do.  Protecting, teaching and keeping our homes safe so that we can do the fun things in parenting is what it is all about as we are raising our children and grandchildren.
