Ikea's new, improved anchor and lock system should give parents some extra peace of mind. Once installed, it allows every drawer in a chest of drawers to be open, and the unit will not tip.
The improved design adds an interior metal strip that runs the entire height of the cabinet, and is locked to the wall by a beefier metal L-bracket.
You can see how it's installed, and how it works, in the video below:

George Carlin once suggested attaching a sharp spike to the steering wheel as an incentive to wear a seatbelt.....
Still need to hit at least one stud as I would not trust a drywall anchor. It may also provide unwarranted levels of confidence in the event a child sees a cabinet as a ladder.
Move in the right direction though
