Can a toddler pull this off of a wall? Trying to aviod him pulling the cord and have something in a floating shelf fall and land on his head.

Yes he can, in fact my 2 years old did it. I will not buy it again, in fact we move and the only way I have to install our sound system is by using this wiremold but I will not install the system since this neither looks good or is very good quality.

Sorry for delay. The cord cover is very capable, but from past experience, nothing stands before a determined child for very long. Wait till older, or don't use for now.

It comes with double sided tape on the back of it. It's pretty strong but will weaken over time. I mounted mine with short screws to give it a little extra hold. It should be ok but I'll never say that a toddler would not be able to open it to get to the cord. The top part clicks on, and with a little force one can open it.

Based upon how hard I tried to pull it off the wall last night, no, the cord cover will not come off the wall unless he's a little Clark Kent. He could pull the cord though and have it open up

Wondering if this worked for your child, or if you found something better? I am looking for a solution to the same problem with my son. Thanks!

I would not want the liability but can tell you that the strips stick really well with double sided tape. It pulls the paint off if you remove them. On the other hand if your child is very strong and grabs the cord rather than the cordmate material anything is possible. Hope this helps. I doubt it will weaken over time, once stuck to the wall its stuck, now if you take it off and reapply it several times sure but if you put it up once and leave it I doubt its going to ever weaken.

Yes it can. We actually used the command strips for ours, the Velcro ones so you can pull it off of the wall as well. It only took one on each corner to secure it.

Ours is not secured to the wall. I'm sure you could make something work with straps if you felt the need to do so. I personally don't feel it needs that type of securing, but, I suppose it depends on your child!

It can be easily pulled out of place. There is a simple shelf like holder that the contraption sits in but the sides stick out and are easily pulled out by my friends 16 month old.

It does not fall off without help but my toddler did pull it off a few times until I caught her doing it and explained not to do that. It goes back on easily.

As I'm looking at this for the same reason and decided against it, can I suggest finding a polycarbonate project box that will fit your extension cord head, drilling a passage for the cable, then using that?They are fire retardant, and have lids that /screw down/ in four spots.If your toddler is able enough to get a screwdriver and undo those, (or, alternatively, find a sledgehammer and bash the project box?) Then he or she proceeds to zap themselves? CONGRATS! You are raising a future engineer and should feel proud! (And terrified. And proud! Also terrified.)

They could push or pull it out of place. If they hung on it, it would easily break. It worked to avoid the simple reaching into flames (we have a gas stove) while actively monitoring toddler who knows it's hot and is a bit cautious already.

Pull down ? YES! My toddler loves to and thinks it is so funny. Hurt himself? Mine has not yet! We take it down when he is around.

I think a small one would be fine but you should anchor the tv to the shelf and the shelf to the wall. The shelf is VERY sturdy but since it's so tall, I'd worry about a child pulling it over with a tv on top. No kids? I'd say it shouldn't be much of a worry.

Not if your toddler is as persistent as mine. I used this product to anchor the bottom edges of some pictures to the wall over his changing table. Lying on his back, he can detach them pretty easily. I think it might depend on where the objects in question are and whether he/she is able to get a good grip. If not, this might work....

No my 2 yr old tried but could not get out independently. I had to take it off him

My guess is that you'd have to be about 35-45 lbs to pull this thing over trying to get up. The base is extremely wide so I don't see your child overcoming that. Also, it doesn't really have anything to pull on outside of the slides which are towards the center which is where it is most sturdy.

If it can with stand a toddler pushing on it and not fall off I think it would be fine it just depends on how hard you will be putting force on it.it has these patches on the underside of it that are of some sort of rubberish material that has little grippers on it. My son (about 30 lbs when I used it for him to transition his to his high full size bed) would push on it pretty hard and it never fell off. Plus you put it under the fitted sheet and that also helps to keep it on. With that being said I never had an issue with the sheet coming off either but I buy sheets for a double that are about $80 so I would invest in high quality sheets, if you don't already have some.

A toddler could pull the screen down but it would not injure him. The bar on top is very light and the screen will surprise him but not hurt him.

It's not air tight as far as I can tell, but there is no safety device that would keep it from slamming down on a kids head or fingers if it isn't put up the whole way. Something to think about.

Pulled themselves to a standing position, but not allowed to attempt climbing in. We keep our bedroom door shut so that he does not go into our room. It has a very nicely designed floor base, but, depending on the toddler's height and weight, I would still be extremely cautious.

Absolutely Not!!!!! Please dont! your child will fly down the stairs because this thing doesn't attach to the wall
