We have an oak coffee table and end table They have sharp edges but are oval-shaped. I have thought about getting one of the leather, ottoman-style coffee tables as I like the style and it would be safe for DS to be stumbling around but hate to spend money on things we don't really need if there's a less expensive way of getting the problem solved.
I did find a padded custom-made cover (https://www.littletumblers.com/order/?view=all) but feel like if I'm going to spend $60 on this, I might as well invest in the ottoman coffee table. Anyway, sorry I digressed... any recommendations for a cheaper way to child proof my coffee table?
TIA and sorry this is so disjointed!
Re: How Did You Child Proof Your Coffee Table / End Tables?
I was kind of thinking of just getting rid of the coffee table. By the time the kids don't need the child proofing, we'd probably want a new table, anyway and it would free up a lot of "play space" in the living room. hmmm.
padded and upholstered: https://embrita.blogspot.com/2010/08/babyproofing-step-one.html
cost way less than $60.
We never child proofed our coffee table. All of my kids have fallen into it or on it at one time or another without any serious injury.
I busted my head open and needed stitches as a kid so our coffee table went around 3 months old.
Our end tables are not sharp and everything is in the back where she can't grab it.
This.
ugh- DH baby proofed it for us.
He wound up buying a 65 inch TV. Which we use the coffee table as the stand. It is a low oak coffee table that his father build (he is a carpenter). So therefore we don't have a coffee table in our living room. We were going to move the coffee table down to the den anyway-
our end tables haven't been an issue.
