I read a blog that linked This One the author's daughter was killed when a (small) dresser crushed her. No easy way to say that. The picture of the furniture is sobering. If you have a moment, and have little ones in your home, please take a moment to read it. If you don't have the ability to read the whole thing- at least take a look at how small a piece needs to be secured. It is a hard, hard read.
This was timely for me as we prepare to move kins into a room with furniture. His room currently is itty-bitty and has only his crib, a glider and a changing table (which is not a solid piece, mostly shelving, you can see in the (super old) pic below).
I read that one a few years ago. It has haunted me ever since. All the furniture in our house is now bolted to the walls. It is a chilling reminder of what happens if we are not diligent about safety.
ReplyDeleteIt's something that I had only thought casually about. I thought it was good to remind people. There are a million things to worry about- but this is a big one.
DeleteI good reminder. So sad and so hard...because we all try for safety, but sometimes forget or so not know.
