The Kidi Bear corner protector is an innovative and safe solution to protect babies and toddlers from injuries caused by hard furniture edges. The gently curved shape and the high-quality acrylic adhesive tape promise all-round effective cushioning without annoying edges or bubbles. The strength of the adhesive tape guarantees a permanent fixation even during the turbulent play of the little ones. The quick installation and residue-free removal offer additional convenience for parents. The transparent and pollutant-free design of the corner protector blends harmoniously into the furniture design, while the universal size allows for versatile use. The focus of our test was on checking the manufacturer’s claims and the actual usability in everyday life.

The Kidi Bear corner protector for furniture and tables is a protection for babies and toddlers that reduces the risk of bruises and tears and ensures greater safety in the home.
The design is appealing and suggests careful manufacture. The shape is slightly curved at the top and sides to ensure better cushioning from all sides. In addition, the cover is larger at the top and sides than similar corner protectors. The corner protectors are transparent and do not discolour.
The corner protector is attached to the corner of the table using the acrylic adhesive tape supplied. This guarantees a firm hold on any material and any surface. However, it is important that the surface is thoroughly cleaned before mounting, as this is the only way to ensure a stable hold.
It is particularly important to emphasise that the product is free from harmful substances such as BPA. The material has also been tested for phthalates and toxic substances. This is an important aspect for environmentally-conscious consumers who prioritise a healthy lifestyle.
The corner protector can be removed without leaving any residue by simply heating and peeling it off. Any adhesive residue can simply be removed with a cleaning agent.
All in all, the Testing Institute confirms the effectiveness and safety of Kidi Bär corner protectors, which make a valuable contribution to child safety in the home.
