Baby proofing

[mribrahimali]

how about a simple baby guard thing that is kinda like this

but not as pricey, have you thought of something like a baby den around the speakers.

Leather = Wipe clean

I can't surpress my hifi addiction for 10 years!!!

Leather is good. Oh yes.
What about some sort of glass fronted cabinet and wall/shelf mountable speakers ?

Even worse is she could try and topple them over, that would be so dangerous.

I have my speakers on granit chopping boards and have sort of tied them up using shoelaces that go underneath the chopping board. If that makes sense.

I did it orignally because my cats had knocked the speakers over in there mad races around the house. It works well with the little one too, though i always say no when she goes near them.

It would be safer to screw the speakers to the wall, especially if they are espensive

It has worked well so far, but i agree, it is not the safest way of doing things.

well... we need stair gates, as the young un has developed a penchant for shutting doors and sitting behind them so you can't get back in... but the kitchen doors were greyhound-proofed a couple of years back, so that's ok and the telly's mounted on the wall at eye level, with the dvd/wii/vcr (yes I still use it!!) on a shelf at about adult chest height - all the cables are neatly tucked away behind conduit away from jammy fingers...

Well, since I originally posted this thread we have decided on the selling the hifi option. I have slowly been putting all my cd's onto a server using squeezebox server (thanks Funkstar for the tip) so that all the cd's can be packed away until a later date.

Going to wall mount the TV and put my bookshelf speakers up with a cheaper amp to power them in a locked cabinate. Will also give us loads more room in the lounge which will be nice.

Stair gates are also on the way, courtesey of my parents, which is rather nice!

Someone I know put a couple of little rush mats in front of their stereo system as their baby hated the scratchy feel of it and wouldn't crawl on it, and therefore couldn't get near all those tempting buttons! .... cunning

Our stuff isn't majorly expensive, but we let him touch buttons etc when supervised, and once he realsised he was allowed to do it, he decided it wasn't worth bothering with and we've never had an issue really.

The little monkeys are all different .... seems a shame to sell your system though.

best thing for us was not telling him "no"

Distraction was the trick.. let him touch.. and then walk in, fall over and sing on the way down to landing on your face... then laugh hysterlically...

the buttons/stereo/dvd soon forgotten

Haydens also started to get bored of the whole turning things on and off trick now by the look of it.

We left her to it for a few days without going no and rushing over to stop her and she's realised that shes not getting the attention she used to while doing it and has now turned her energy to other things like the washing machine as she loves staring into the glass when it's closed and child-locked
