KidSafe™ Dresser Baseboard
KidSafe Dresser Baseboard
The KidSafe baseboard creates a freestanding version of a conventional dresser without the need for wall attachment.
The KidSafe baseboard prevents tip over by providing support under the center of gravity which moves forward as drawers are opened.

The KidSafe baseboard creates a freestanding dresser (chest of drawers) that will not tip from the weight of heavy drawers, even when all are fully extended. This claim cannot be made about any dresser without the KidSafe baseboard.
| Wall-attachment are not needed. People may not have the tools, the time or the skill to install them. Many young parents live in apartments where they are not allowed to drill holes in the walls. | 
The KidSafe baseboard allows the dresser to be repositioned without leaving holes in the wall |

Unsupported Dresser |
 Dresser with KidSafe Baseboard |
Message to parents:
Kids do not deserve to be injured for playing on an unsupported dresser. Let your furniture maker and the CPSC know you want freestanding dressers with the KidSafe baseboard.
The tests done by ASTM result only in recommendations that are rarely adopted by furniture makers. For the sake of children’s safety, contact the CPSC and stress the need for mandatory regulations for the whole industry:
The appearance:
The baseboard is the element that has been missing that solves the tip-over problem. It looks different but it also looks right because it is right. It’s the solution that will save kids lives.
The KidSafe baseboard is not in the way when using the dresser. The baseboard extends less than the open drawers.

There is no more cost effective way for furniture manufacturers to avoid law suits from furniture tip over than using the KidSafe baseboard, for dressers, cribs and bookshelves.
The KidSafe pre-drilled and self-aligning baseboard can be attached to the bottom in minutes. First, two blocks are glued and screwed inside the side walls. Then the baseboard is screwed to the blocks. The baseboard is easy to remove later if desired. |
After-Market Kit The KidSafe base, model IM346 is available as an after-market kit for the IKEA™ Malm 3, 4 or 6-drawer chest. Bases for other dressers to follow based on demand. |
