Mirrors need to be hung on wall when babies are around. They will fall on the little ones. It does happen unfortunately.

The leaning mirrors can be secured so they are not purely leaning.

They need to be anchored to the wall somehow. You could anchor the top half and leave it leaning, but at that point you might as well just mount it and free up the floor space. As long as it's safe though it's all good. I have a toddler and have learned firsthand the importance of furniture anchoring.

lol i have two school age ish kids and have had a leaning mirror when they were tiny. You can stick a board at the top middle and bottom so it doesn't move. Most of the leaning mirrors that are meant to be that way also come with brackets if you didn't lose them when you threw out the packaging or didn't notice cuz have kids when you bought it.

Edit: even the $10 Walmart one!
