TV Screen Protector, How To Protect Your TV Screen From a Toddler

My oldest daughter is eight now, but back when she was three she broke our 50 inch flat screen wall mounted TV.

We had managed to get through three years without any TV mishaps. Until one day when she grabbed her Frozen magic wand and decided to give the TV a good whack.

While the front of it did not crack, the picture immediately went crazy and haywire.

I searched in desperation for a way to fix it, but nope it was not happening. So we eventually bought another TV.

After this I knew I needed a TV screen protector.

Once I had a new wall mounted large and expensive smart TV, I wondered what I could do to protect the TV from my toddler.

At the time I had two children under three and felt like any kind of protective device would be well worth the money.

So what does any mom do when she needs to find a product like this? I turned to the internet.

And I found myself reading many stories of toddlers breaking flat screen televisions, but very few reviews or information on screen protectors.

Eventually I found a handful of websites with screen protectors, and found what sounded like it would work for me.

It wasn't cheap, and it kind of stung to shell out more money for a protector after buying a new TV, but I thought of it as insurance and took the plunge.

And I'm glad I did. I now have purchased three of these screen protectors for various TV sizes and they are worth every penny.

TV Screen Safety for Children

For starters, I have learned after three kids there are a few things you can do to keep your child and your TV screen safe.

Always wall mount or attach your TV to the wall. If you do not wall mount and have your TV on a stand, then have a safety strap attach the TV to the wall.

You can find these straps online under child proofing.

I use these for TV's, dressers, book shelves, and basically anything that can tip over and fall on a child. This will protect your kid and your TV if they pull on the TV.

If your child is young enough, keep them contained if you cannot watch them safely around the TV. A pack and play is great until they reach the age they need to stop using a pack and play.

Then get yourself a good screen protector. As I have learned, these delicate flat screens can break easily.

A light tap with a ball or a toy can do it.

My favorite TV Screen Protector

The TV screen protector I ended up with is the Vizomax TV Screen Protector for LCD, LED or Plasma HDTV.

And, I got it on Amazon.. how convenient to have it just come to my house.

It attaches with tiny pieces of velcro and kind of hangs on top of the TV. It is not coming off, and it is extremely thin but also strong.

It works to protect the TV and that is the most important part.

Some added benefits of this product are that it keeps the little hand prints and finger smudges off of your screen.

It's easy to clean, and when I am watching TV I cannot see anything in front of the screen at all.

Screen Ventilation

Last but not least: Vizomax TV screen protectors are designed to allow the screen to be cooled by natural air flow. This is in contrast with other TV screen protectors that can cause substantial screen overheating and TV damage.

I now have three of these in my home and they are worth every penny. They keep my actual TV clean, and fingerprint free.

They are barely noticeable at all. I am pretty sure nobody has ever been able to tell they are there unless we mention it and point it out.

They do not add any glare and they are super easy to attach. There is velcro included which goes on the edge of the tv and holds the protector to it. Because the velcro is black and super thin you do not notice it.

I have it on my OLED flat screen 65" TV and it is not noticable. I clean it with a soft cloth included with purchase, and they look amazing even years later.

My child who broke my TV years ago is now eight. But I also have a six year old and a three year old and believe it or not we have had a remote thrown at the TV since then.

I know I will be keeping these these Vizomax screen protectors on for years, and luckily you can barely tell they are there.

Pictures of my flat screen TV with a screen protector attached

Here are a few pictures of my current 65" TV with the protector attached.

While you can see it clearly resting on the TV and the velcro strip, you really cannot notice it from any distance, especially if you are facing the TV.

You can find the Vizomax TV Screen Protector in almost any screen size you need.
