Yeti Chair Guardian Anti-tip Device (Cherry - Brown)

So,we replaced our kitchen chairs, and our cat learned he could lay on the back of the new ones. Didn't think it was a problem until the second time he did it and had a freak accident with the chair falling over on him and landing him with an emergency vet visit for tearing out his claw.I wanted to get rid of the chairs, but my husband was more hopeful that the cat had learned. Well,same exact night,cat was at it again,but without incident when the chair fell over.So needless to say,I set to researching and have discovered that as far as anti-tip devices go,there really aren't any options for chairs but this.I found the price devastating,but I honestly can't say it's unfair. And it was cheaper than replacing the chairs by far.I think the design/idea is excellent,it really is a lifesaver. It preserves the furniture you have,it's low profile,I mean you see it but it's not offensive. And,in my case,it made my chairs easier to move around. Plus giving them that bottom weight they desperately needed.The most important feature,the anti-tip,worked flawlessly. The cat was able to safely lay on the back of the chair now,didn't even move when he dismounted from it. So the safety in itself is worth it all.But the instructions are confusing and awful,very unclear. It's not like a person can't figure it out,but that just adds to the frustration that will surely come while you're trying to figure it out if you end up having straps backwards/tangled/aren't familiar with buckles.But the biggest problem I have with this is the buckle strap system. I think this would be a million times more pleasurable to set up with a ratchet strap. The buckle system,to get it tight and hold it that way,this becomes like a two person job and it's never quite as tight as I want it,even if we can get it tight,it just could be a bit more secure with a ratchet system. I have concerns about how often we'll have to keep going through the process of undoing the buckles to re-tighten them as the chairs get more and more use.

Essentially it's a glorified piece of pretty wood with some straps on it to, effectively, make your chair have the physical characteristics of a box whose weight is somewhat equally proportioned (i.e., try tipping over a evenly loaded cardboard box)The instructions and accompanying pictures are surprisingly poor - if they fix the instructions and post them here, I will happily update my review to a 5/5 (despite the high price of this product)I've taught physics (and assembled many a piece of ikea furniture) yet scratched my head a bit at setting this up

Expensive, but it works. We have a large 2 year old (90% percentile on height, 100% on weight) who seemed determined to tip over his chair and booster seat during dinner. Meals were becoming an ordeal and real source of stress. Despite the simple design of the product, installing it wasn't intuitive and we were a little nervous at first. After he was in it 2 minutes the concerns went away. Made meals much more pleasant.The problem is this fixes the issue for only one chair and we're not going to pay to have it for every chair (plus, they are visually obtrusive). I'm glad we have it for his main chair, but will look for other solutions for the rest of the house.

It's well made, lays flat on the floor and keeps the chair from tipping. However I feel like it is grossly overpriced for essentially being a flat piece of wood with slots for straps.

We sit our 20 month old in one of the adapting high chair to booster type of seat, which is strapped to an Ikea chair. Older brother had same set up, and zero issues, but my little guy is brazen. When he is done , without warning, he will say "push" and he is already pushing his chair, and his head on the way to the floor if we are not holding it with our foot. As much as we want to sit next to him, we got to stand up to feed the other child, get waters, napkin, turn off the stove, you get it. This product is a godsend. I've never seen or heard about this before, but decided to look here because I was sure we were not the first parents with this issue. Our guy had 3 falls in the 10 days prior to this purchase. It's been two weeks and no falls. Both me and 6 yo sat on the chair and unsucessfully tried to tip it over. Honestly, it will be easier to break our Ikea chair before tipping this. I'm so happy that I can breath more relaxed now.If you have a toddler that climbs on his chair, pushes it when done, it's well worth the money.

So far no tips,fingers crossed. I was looking for a solution to dining room chairs and a toddler, surprised to find almost nothing on the market. Came across several patents that look promising but found only this product, which seems to work well. Toddler has not truly put it to the test yet but I feel better with something on the chair now.

Works ok but the front is not big enough and the front feet keep sliding off.

Easy to strap onto a chair. might have to oversew a strap to get is shorter and tighter, but easy to do. I once had my 3 year old 25 pound grand daughter put her feet on the table edge and push. she tipped the chair back and over, and was only protected because the chair back was resilient. I put a 40 pound bag of salt on the rungs to stop it from happening again. This is easier and looks better.
