Next he held the car up while dad changed the tire.
I’m glad that he is okay. He’s lucky for sure.
And television sets. A kid was killed last year when he tried to climb up it and tipped it over on himself.
....good thing they weren’t triplett’s..Bowdy,Brock,and Beanie
Look at that. The boy has taken a proper lifting squat.
Trying to lift with his legs and not his back.
These cheap chip-board dressers are a menace. This one doesn’t even look that tall (3 1/2 feet?), but it didn’t take much to tip it over.
Ikea really needs to make fixing this a top priority, and not by requiring the homeowner to additionally screw some clamp into the wall. People barely do that for the similarly tip-prone stoves these days, and that’s a far more substantial investment.
Can’t the government help?
Something similar to that happened when I was two. I lost as tooth. It was driven up and killed the adult tooth. I still have a bridge. Kids climb. Its what they do.
That picture made John William’s theme music from Superman popped into my head.
Mom comes in and takes a picture, rather than tend to her son? Or, if this is a nanny cam, where was mom after the crash?
I’m not blaming the parents BUT I kept my lil’ ones in cribs till they were older (it was just safer). Our pediatricians really, REALLY frowned upon it.. almost insisting that “toddler” beds were safer. A friend took her pediatricians advice and got a toddler bed.. only to find her 2 1/2 year old in the bathroom medicine cabinet at two in the morning. She climbed on the toilet, onto the sink and was exploring at all the “pretty” jars (which included Tylenol, sleep aids etc). She yanked the crib out of the basement the next morning. That being said.. thank goodness this precious little guy wasn’t seriously hurt.
