Flat screen TV safety straps

My little one is going to be on the move soon so my thoughts have turned to child proofing the home.
I'm really concerned about our large flat screen TV being a safety hazard as I have recently read several horror stories about them toppling over .
We have ours free-standing on a wide glass TV stand which is specifically designed to hold a TV of this weight. However, new advice states that they should also strapped down securely. I have researched online as to where I can buy these straps and it seems they are only available in the US where earthquakes are a common occurence. We can't fix the TV to the wall as we live in a rented property.
Anybody have any ideas or advice about where I could obtain these straps? What does everyone else do?
