We live in a small house and there was no way to keep the kids out of the living room. I had music on all the time and my oldest loved dancing no matter what I played. The equipment was on a rack and moved out of the way in a corner. The speakers then were Maggie SMG 's and one day she tipped one over. The speaker was fine but I didn't feel that I would want to chance that again with her or one of her friends. So I made a sacrifice and bought a pair of Kef s to be wall mounted on shelves. I kept them untill my second child was five. It wasn't untill I replaced those Kefs that I realised what a sacrifice I had made. That stage is over now . My kids have learned to use and respect my discs and equipment and I am now learning to try to like their music. cheers Steve
babys and your components
Many of us have or had small children for example bellow 2 yo
They're in general free to do anything and can make themselves harm crowling onto the bunch of wires or touching naked tubes. They can also bite knobs, move movable components and so on...
My son is about to crawl and He will be visiting living room with my equipment quite often. I am not worried about my equipment pretty much since He won't be able to move even a single component -- too heavy. I worry about power cords, interconnects that are in the rear of my equipment stand. I worry about naked tubes on the mono amplifiers. I worry about speakers since thay can fall down when pushed.
On the other hand, I cannot limit Him to be in carriage or stroller or in bed while he's awake -- He has to walk and crawl.
It's not often the issue to keep separate room for that purpuoses(I've never seen that in my life). Most likely no matter how big or how many rooms is in your space, there is a wife in the family that will want to have it.
How do you manage this problem? What do you do to avoid accidents with babys?
