The stands I have are so heavy that it is difficult even for me to move with moderate force. But since they rest on 3 spikes, they can be knocked over when pushed diagonally and upwards (still difficult for a child, but they grow). The top plates are very heavy and sharp. Ofcourse if it sways, it will topple on the opposite side but the speakers... :sad: Though they are made of metal cabinet, the transfo inside might sheer off from the case.
So I have trained my 3.5 yr old daughter not to touch any of my gear. She obediently follows it. She is also taught not to go too close to the speakers when they are playing. Earlier she used to put her ear literally on the grill.
I think besides making the gear child-safe, it makes sense to train our kid(s) not to fiddle with. Its all fine when we are around. But what if they press the eject button of the CD player and pull down the tray. An injury to the gear or kid is the last thing we would want to happen.
The downside is that she gives me a dose of my own medicine. She sometimes doesn't allow me to touch her stuff like toys, pillow etc. :lol:
