When outfitting a young child’s room, it’s easy to get caught up in the design details you can see: a cool color, a decorative object, favorite toys, and books. But choosing the right furniture means navigating a very real — yet hard to spot — danger that can threaten kids’ safety.

According to a Consumer Reports study released recently, injuries from furniture tip-overs have continued to rise in the U.S. The latest data show that, in 2016, 2,800 children in the U.S. were injured by tipping furniture, an increase of 33 percent over 2015. Though the reasons for the increase are not clear, researchers at Consumer Reports believe it may simply reflect the increasing availability of products that are not built with safety in mind.

Though an image of overloaded, toppling bookcases may still come to mind when we think of teetering furniture, when it comes to tip-over injuries to children, the most likely culprit is the dresser.

Dressers, it turns out, pose a danger to kids younger than 6 for a few reasons. They’re in the bedroom, where children are most likely to be left alone to nap — so adults are less likely to stop them from climbing. They’re tempting to climb on — pulled-out drawers can look a lot like stairs. And we often place enticing objects on top of them, including heavy televisions.

“Over 80 percent of all the furniture tip-over injuries and deaths are children under the age of 6,” says James Dickerson, chief scientific officer at Consumer Reports. “They are the most vulnerable people.”

Yet, safety standards for dresser manufacturers are completely voluntary, Dickerson points out, meaning that manufacturers don’t have to comply with them, and stores don’t use labeling to inform shoppers about products that do comply.

In addition, Dickerson’s team found that the current industry standards, which call for a dresser to remain upright when a weight of 50 pounds is placed on an open drawer, aren’t stringent enough.

“We want the weight associated with the standard to be increased to 60 pounds,” he says, “which covers the average weight of children under 6 in the United States.”

After testing 24 dressers of different sizes and price points, Consumer Reports found that there were dressers that passed the weight test in all categories, meaning it’s not price or materials that makes the furniture safe, but good design.

“You can make a dresser that is light and safe, you can make a dresser that is heavy and safe, you can make a dresser of any shape or size that is safe,” Dickerson says, “because people are already doing it.”
