Child Damage Mitigation


Last week the wife and I brought a new baby home - our first - and it's been fun introducing her to the music we love. It dawned on me this morning that this child will be crawling before I know it and my lovely pair of Magnepan 3.7's might be sitting ducks. They're less agile than the cat, closer to the ground than the house plants, and more fragile than the couch. As I've calculated I've got approximately 6 months to find a way to prevent any child-induced damage so your input is greatly appreciated. What can I learn from the grand wisdom of AG about how to keep the kid away from the speakers?

I fenced off all of my equipment with something like this.  It kept  my daughter away but anything that prevents them from getting to something makes them want to touch it more.  My daughter is 20 mos and if there is anything in a room that I don't want her to touch, she will walk straight too it, pick it up, lick it and or put it in her mouth.

Congratulations.

You and your wife have quite a story to share with your child-being born during this uncertain time.

Just rig up some of those plastic baby room partitions around them. Easy to setup and remove.
You guys are mean. A nice stuff sack is the way to go. Draw string around the neck. Better ventilation than a hamster ball.
This is the moment you can justify the change of equipment.

Right now you may be concerned about your speakers, but that is a cheap concern. You can buy another pair. As someone mentioned earlier, after a year or so your daughter will be much faster and still not well-controlled. It will last for a few years.

The problem is not her damaging your speakers, but speakers damaging her. Get something she is unlikely to tip over. Bottom-heavy, large base if possible. For that reason, It may be wise to avoid anything with stands. Of course, as another one said earlier, some gentle teaching from the beginning will help but there is no way she will not run into your speakers over time. Make them safe for her.

You have two speakers, but only one daughter. Think of how to protect her. Screw the speakers.
