I am always trying to keep our house as safe as possible with two small children around. It really is a never ending task, but one thing we have been planning to do is to wall mount our flat screen TV’s. John brought home a flat screen TV for the bedroom. It pretty much never gets watched, but once in awhile, Maggie will turn it on to watch Curious George when she wakes up. I kind of like it because it gives me just a little extra time to lay in bed in the morning. That same TV also scares the daylights out of me. Charlie is a little climber and I worry when I am in the shower that he will manage to knock it over. It has to get mounted, and soon! The email I received from Andrea at SANUS reminded me of just how important it is and how much of a danger it poses to small children.
- A child is killed every three weeks from an unsecured TV
- Every 45 minutes, a child visits an emergency room due to a TV tip over related injury
- Between 2000 and 2011, 215 fatalities have resulted from TV tip over
- An estimated 17,000 people each year, mostly children, are treated for injuries from TV tip overs
Using a SANUS TV mount is as easy as 1 2 3 using a wall template to ensure even placement. You can also follow the online video that will walk you through the simple installation at any time. You can even call and get live support 6 days a week.

another product that is pretty nice from Sanus is the DFV50
