Adhesive & No-Drill Anchoring Kits

Every parent knows babies love to explore. But once your little one starts crawling, pulling up or climbing, your home’s furniture can become a hidden hazard. Tip-over accidents send thousands of kids to the ER each year—and most of them are completely preventable. Which is why it’s important to check babyproofing off of your to-do list for peace of mind before they’re mobile.

Thankfully, with the right anti-tip kits, you can secure everything from dressers to TVs in just a few minutes. Here’s how to find the best option for your space—and your furniture.

Most anti-tip kits are designed to be versatile. A well-made furniture anchor can work across a range of items—think dressers, bookshelves and even toy storage. The key is choosing a kit that matches the weight, height and mounting surface (like drywall or concrete) of your furniture.

Anchoring your furniture doesn’t have to ruin your home’s vibe, either. Most kits are discreet and easy to hide behind or beneath furniture. And the peace of mind? Totally worth it.

Here are our top picks for keeping your furniture in place—and your little one safe.

For Heavy Furniture

Sturdy pieces—like dressers, cabinets, shelves and changing tables—are often the biggest tip-over risk, especially in nurseries and bedrooms. The right anchor can prevent a serious accident.

Look for:

  • Dual-strap or steel bracket kits

  • Mounting options for drywall or studs

  • Adjustable-length straps

  • Kits that support tall or narrow items with minimal wall clearance

  • Easy-to-follow installation instructions

Nursery & Playroom Items

Light furniture can still be dangerous if it topples—especially if it’s climbable or accessible during solo play. Think things like toy storage, low bookcases and modular storage units.

Look for:

  • Low-profile anchors

  • Compatibility with modular or lightweight furniture

For TVs and Media Consoles

TVs—especially when placed on low stands—are top-heavy and often within a toddler’s reach.

Look for:

  • Straps or brackets that attach directly to TV mounting holes

  • Kits that anchor to both furniture and the wall

  • Support for large flat screens

Adhesive & No-Drill Anchoring Kits

Not every parent wants to (or can) drill into their walls—especially if you’re in a rental. While screw-in anchors are the most secure, there are a few no-drill options that offer temporary peace of mind for lightweight furniture.

Just keep in mind, adhesive anchors may not hold up against the same force as screw-in anchors—especially with heavy or tall furniture. Use them with caution and stick to securing lower-risk items unless your landlord gives the green light to install permanent hardware.
