Is everyone babyproofing their flat screen TVs?

Ours is on a stand, on a table-thing-whatever but I'm thinking we might need to stabilize it better so it doesn't topple over and crush her.

    We have ours on a large very stable TV stand and we just pushed it much farther back so that even when she's older she shouldn't be able to reach it.

    Ours is on a really heavy and high chest thing. Although I'm thinking we may mount it to the wall once he gets a little taller or learns how to climb.

    Is there a way to stablize it on a table/stand? We were thinking we might have to hang ours on the wall. I'll be interested to hear what other people are doing.

    I have thought about is. Ours is set up the same way. Every time she tries to pull up on the table I go move her. How would we secure it?

    Our's is sitting on a built in shelf.  My DH anchored it into the wall last week because I was a little freaked that Oliver can reach it now.

    The one in the living room is above the fireplace, so that one is fine.

    I'm concerned with the "man cave" room because the tv just sits on a low stand. I'm more worried about the ridiculous amount of components and cords in there so we need to clean it up a bit.

    Our is mounted on the wall so we don't have to worry about baby proofing it.

    bahhaha

     

    To every one who said their LO can't reach it, Izzy can't reach ours either but she does pull up on the shelf it's on and bounces so the TV wobbles. It freaks me out.

    Ours has been mounted to the wall for ages. I would definitely not take my chances with this-- kids die every year due to appliances and furniture toppling over on them.

    Ours is ginormous and it's locked into the stand it's on. I think the only way we could secure it more would be to tether it to the wall behind it.

    Eventually. Right now it's behind a baby gate and down a flight of stairs, so there are other things to worry about before he even reaches the television.

    We have our play yard set up around the entire tv stand, and the TV pushed as far back on the TV stand as possible... DD is a climber, reacher, jumper, etc and this has worked well... hope it works just as well for DS.

    I did not read through all the responses, but we have ours mounted on the wall. Kits to do it are reasonable and worth it, IMO.

    Ours is on a stand, and the stand has a spot where you can anchor the stand to whatever piece of furniture you have it on.  We did that when we bought it, so the cats wouldn't knock it over.

    Our flatscreens are wall mounted.  All of the components (Direct tv box, dvd player. amp) are in an enclosed glass component unit.  There is really now way DS can get at anything.
