Professional corner protectors fitting - sharp furniture edges cushioned with properly adhered protectors. Quick job that could prevent a nasty head injury.
Small Change, Big Protection
Toddlers fall. A lot. Sharp furniture corners are at exactly the wrong height for stumbling little ones. Corner protectors won't prevent falls, but they make the impact much less serious.
💡 Pro tip: Don't wait for the first head-to-corner collision. By then you've got blood, tears, and potentially a scar. Prevention is painless.

Good to Know
🧹 Clean is crucial - adhesive won't stick to dust, grease, or furniture polish. Proper surface prep is the difference between protectors that stay and ones that fall off.
Highest risk corners:
- Glass coffee tables
- Stone hearths
- Low console tables
- TV units
- Bed frames
When to remove:
- Usually around age 4-5
- When coordination improves
- Remove carefully
- Clean adhesive residue
Frequently Asked Questions
Do corner protectors actually stay on?
With proper adhesive and clean surfaces, yes. The key is preparing the surface properly - we clean and degrease before fitting. Cheap stick-on ones often fail; we use quality adhesive.
What about glass tables?
Glass edges are particularly dangerous. We use protectors specifically designed for glass - they grip differently. Or consider removing glass tables temporarily during the toddler years.
Can they damage furniture finish?
Quality protectors with proper adhesive shouldn't. When removed later, any residue cleans off. Much better than blood on the corner from a head wound.
Which corners need covering?
Any at toddler head height when walking or crawling. Coffee tables, TV units, hearths, and low furniture are the main culprits.
