This review is from: Mommy's Helper Tip Resistant Furniture Safety Brackets (Baby Product)

Having seen multiple news-program coverage of children being injured by falling furniture and flat-panel televisions, I was amazed when I checked my local Home Depot and Lowe's, and nobody seemed to have any idea about whether they carried anti-tip kits, even after I described exactly what they do and how they work.

I ordered this kit hoping it would do the job, and it seemed like the best bang-for-the-buck. It arrived yesterday, and I installed it on one shelf last night. So, here's the deal. What you're really after is the brackets you attach to the wall and the shelf. This kit provides that. They also provide straps and screws for installation. However, other reviewers have said the straps become hard and crumble after a year or two - time will tell. I will check them every couple months and replace with zip ties if needed.

The screws...first, let me say I am a pretty handy person. Even with applying very good force, the first screw stripped out, and the second broke in half when screwed halfway in - and I pre-drilled holes!

So, here's the verdict: Not all the items provided in the kit are perfect. However, the little plastic brackets are something I have not found anywhere except with a couple pieces of new furniture. That's all I really care about, as I don't mind using my own screws or zip ties later if need be. So, I'm rating the product mainly on the brackets, as my experience with the secondary bits suggests they're not to hot. Good luck!

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke in two after a year. Don't buy!, March 20, 2007

I would have rated this item 0 stars, if that were an option. We discovered approximately a year after installing these that the plastic strap had become so brittle that it snapped in two with little manipulation. Fortunately, we discovered this because we were moving, not because a piece of furniture fell. I shudder to think what might have happened if our furniture had tipped.

Overall, I am very happy with this product. I read the previous reviews as well. I never had a problem with the straps becoming brittle, I installed these on some large cabinets and removed them two years later with no problems. I do however agree that the screws do strip easily, and you have to be careful with that. I was able to get around it by putting a lot of pressure on the cordless drill and making sure to use a low torque setting.

However, I like the design of these brackets better than any I've seen, so I would still recommend them even if you buy better screws to install them with. Other anti-tip brackets need to be unscrewed to be able to move the furniture to get behind it, with this you can just undo the zip-tie and put it back when you are done.
