Stopping drawers from slamming shut

Hi,

Have Ikea Hemnes chest of drawers for our childs room. She's still quite little, so wondering if anyone can recommend a way to stop them shutting so quickly. I've seen these but not sure if they they would be suitable , or if I need a whole soft close mechanism more like this

STick a pair of socks at the back so it doesn't quite close then take them out when she is old enough not to jam her fingers.

Ha, didn't mean to bring thread to a stop. My idea was a bit tongue in cheek!

the soft-close damper would do. You will need an electric drill and a screwdriver. You may need screws if they are not supplied.

I see from the £14.25 price that the ad is from "I Saw You Coming".

You can buy 10 for £2. Maybe less.

Ah brilliant that's a much better price 😝
And socks would do (we've been jamming clothes over the top of a drawer to make it impossible to shut and harder to open at the moment) but I wanted something more aesthetically pleasing 😂
