Many parents have good reason to start childproofing their home before their kids get up. Young children need to stay away from anything that could put them in danger. As a parent, it is your responsibility to make sure their environment is as safe as possible. That doesn’t mean you need to get rid of your wine collection. In fact, here is a 5-tier wine rack design that will protect your wine from young children.
1. Wrought Iron Wine Cellar – This unit is the perfect example of a floor-to-ceiling wine rack. They are about six feet tall. It can hold about 100 bottles and padlocks to keep little ones safe. This is sure to reassure mom and dad that their baby won’t find his way into the wine cooler. This is the perfect solution if you have a large wine collection.
2. Wooden Wine Rack – You can choose to place a wooden wine rack with locking door. By using chip-free paint, you can be more sure your kids are safe from anything that could harm them. Some people like to attach the shelf to the floor or wall, depending on height and weight, to make sure your little one doesn’t pull it over and injure themselves or just break all the wine bottles.
3. Portable wine cellars – There is a long-term solution for those who want to store their wine in a toddler-proof climate control mechanism. Ideal if you don’t have a real wine cellar but still want to collect. Not only do you want to choose a wine cellar that can hold about 100 bottles of wine, but also a wine cellar with a lockable door to keep your little one from going out. An added bonus is an alarm and child-safe temperature control if it’s on for more than a few minutes. This portable wine cellar is where your little one won’t push a button and set the temperature of your wine from cool cold to hot summer.
4. Floor Stand Countertop – If your budget doesn’t allow a large shelf with a lockable door to protect your son or daughter, try a small portable floor stand. This one is small enough to fit on a countertop or shelf out of the reach of children.
5. Hanging Floor Wine Rack – Floor wine racks for moderate drinkers are ideal for those looking for a place to hang them. You can protect your kids with a shelf that never touches the floor so they have a chance to grab it.
