Safety items like that are particularly useful in places that are earthquake prone, like CA. Lots of people like the hardwood floors which can be a slipery surface for furnature if you used the sticky felt furnature leg pads to protect your floors. A respectably sized earthquake can really get the heavy furnature sliding around the room. Not a safe environment unless you strap the furnature to the walls.

We're right at the point at which we need to babyproof. The thing I'm really trying to find is a baby gate that can let our cats in and out of the basement. If no one's invented that, I've got a million dollar idea.

My wife asked me to make sure the bookcases were secured to the wall, but I'd never seen this product. Thanks for sharing!!! I'd definitely appreciate a gift certificate...

That is a great product. I've installed a few of them. They are rock solid. Just make sure you attach them to a stud and a solid part of the furniture.

I've just started to walk around our house and make my own "baby proofing list." It got me to thinking how awesome it would be if DadLabs made an "ultimate baby proofing list" that everyone could download and print out. It would be extremely helpful for soon to be first time dads like me who are freaking clueless.

I also have a question. We have sunken living room that has a couple 8 foot wide steps down to solid concrete. Anyone have a clue where to find a baby gate that can span 8 feet?

I have the beginnings of a climber and his cousin certainly is (9 days apart). This is something I have never thought of. I guess I need to go invest in a "good" stud finder. I never could get mine to work. Thanks Troy.

Great idea on the list. We'll definitely include this in the book we're writing.

To find a wide gate, Google "custom baby gate" or use this link:

These furniture safety straps are great! Now I'm looking for some way to secure a set of mirrored sliding closet doors...
