We considered the pool noodle idea too. Maybe I'll see if the dollar store has one that would work for now. </p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: I am afraid of that! I suppose the gates would solve it anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-proofing-help#post-1651579 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:49:39 +0000 Smurfette 1651579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two similar to this one. We removed everything on the bottom shelves but knock on wood, so far she doesn't try to climb on them or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-proofing-help#post-1651548 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:40:59 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1651548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a very similar one and we finally just took it down because they were trying to climb it too much. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-proofing-help#post-1651534 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:37:24 +0000 Alivoo01 1651534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you put a gate around the shelf to prevent her from accessing it? Or if you don't mind "not pretty" you could get a pool noodle and cut up pieces to put around the edges to form a barrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-proofing-help#post-1651378 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:55:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 1651378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help me figure out the best way to baby proof this bookshelf?</p> <p>We have the Sloane leaning bookcases in our living room, near where C plays. They are anchored to the wall, and I don't leave her in there alone for long, so I'm not too worried about climbing (yet). But the corners of the shelves jut out and she has already pulled herself up on them and slipped-- didn't hit her face, but could have. </p> <p>What do you recommend? I don't think the corner cushions would really fit, but maybe? Or just the roll of cushion tape? I'm also afraid those will just be something fun to pick at and end up being useless...</p> <p>Here is a picture of the shelves for reference. You can see the bottom shelves where the corners jut out. </p> [attach=2307/14/n5zdh6.598x598.sloane-java-25.5-leaning-bookcase.jpg]
