Larger furniture, such as dressers, armoires, or bookcases, should be secured to the wall with either L-brackets that go into the wall with a screwdriver, or furniture anchor straps. If you have many electrical devices, consider using a wire guard so that he or she cannot reach them. Also consider installing childproof outlets as toddlers can insert items (or even worse, their fingers) into electrical sockets and get shocked.
