Originally we had the pack and play up against it. At that time we were still using it everyday for Owen, so it made sense, since it was out and in our way all the time anyway -- might as well put it to good use, right? But as we began using it less and less for Owen, and more and more as a place to store toys and block the entertainment center. It just became a total space stealer.
We looked online extensively and never found something that would work for us and that piece of furniture. We weren't going to replace it, so that wasn't an option. We wanted something temporary, that would be easy to remove when we wanted to put a DVD in and something that wouldn't damage the furniture. We wanted something that would still make it possible for us to change the channel while our child blocking device was up.
SO, when we couldn't find exactly what we wanted for purchase we decided to "make" our own childproof solution for the entertainment center. One Sunday afternoon we wandered around Home Depot to see what we could find.
We ended up with a ClosetMaid 72 by 12-Inch SuperSlide Wire Shelf
Only recently has Owen been trying to lift the shelving up from the bottom to try to get to the electronics underneath, but he really isn't so interested in the anymore, as he has so many other more interesting things to attend to ... i.e. splashing in the dogs water, scaling the outside of the staircase, climbing on the kitchen table. If you have any awesome solutions for these not so easily childproofed activities please share them below!
