Learn why furniture wall anchors are essential for babyproofing and follow simple steps to secure heavy furniture and prevent tipping accidents.
Quick answer
Furniture wall anchors are a must for any home with a toddler—they secure dressers, bookcases, and media consoles to the wall to prevent tipping. Install them with the included hardware and simple directions to make your furniture safer today.
Why wall anchors matter
When your child starts learning to walk, they naturally grab onto furniture to steady themselves. That innocent pull can be enough to tip a heavy dresser or bookcase, leading to serious injury. Wall anchors are a simple, low-cost safeguard that every parent should install.
Evenflo's Furniture Wall Anchors are designed for this exact purpose. They come with sturdy hardware and easy-to-follow directions, so you can secure your furniture in minutes without professional help.
Trade-offs and exceptions
Wall anchors work on most furniture, but they require a solid wall surface—drywall with a stud is ideal. If you have plaster, brick, or concrete walls, you may need special masonry anchors (not included). Also, anchors are meant for furniture that sits against a wall; if your furniture is freestanding, consider a different anti-tip solution.
One 2-pack secures one piece of furniture. If you have multiple items to anchor, you'll need to purchase additional packs.
Diagnosis: Is your furniture safe?
- Symptom: Your child pulls on furniture to stand or walk, or you notice that a tall dresser or bookcase wobbles when pushed.
- Likely cause: Heavy furniture is top-heavy and can tip forward when weight is applied to the front edge. Without wall anchoring, even a small pull can cause a dangerous fall.
- Corrective action: Install Evenflo Furniture Wall Anchors on every piece of furniture that could tip. Follow the included directions: locate a wall stud, attach the anchor to the furniture and the wall, and tighten all hardware securely. After installation, test the anchor by pulling firmly on the furniture to ensure it doesn't budge.
- Stop or choose another option: If your wall is not standard drywall with a stud, or if you're unsure about the installation, stop and consult a professional or use anchors designed for your wall type. Do not rely on furniture placement alone—anchoring is the only reliable prevention.
