Reddit reviews Safety 1st Child Proof Clear View Stove Knob Covers (Set of 5)

Perhaps consider installing something like these childproof knob covers on your stove.

We have a cat that likes to do this too sometimes. Also a toddler.

You can buy cover knobs to make it so they can’t get bumped to “on” position to avoid this devastating scenario in the future.

Also don't put grocery bags on the stove. Our kitchen burned down when I was a kid due to the same scenario.

Came home one day to the stove lit, dog had gone counter surfing and managed to turn the stove on. Went and ordered these immediately.

I think 10 months is too little to really understand why you won't let him play with the most fun thing in the world. I mean really, gas stoves are the best toy you could ever have! :) j/k obviously. They do make covers for the knobs so he can't turn them and locks for the oven. They also have guards for the burners. Would be totally annoying for you guys, but at least you wouldn't have to gate him off as much? Maybe if you bought him a play stove and put it in the kitchen and make a big deal about how great it is? Not sure if he would fall for it.

The first time I felt the stove top on when I wasn’t there was so scary. These are life savers: https://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Clear-Stove-Covers/dp/B00068O22S

My wife couldn’t figure out to open them. Haha.

While you're at it

and

Oven Lock

We used those and they were a life saver for us, especially for the oven as ours loved opening it.

Your job is to protect the family and the home. So, when you aren't there you have to protect them from the dangerous things inside.
This is all you had to do as a father and a leader.

That way your wife can go to the bathroom for 5 minutes every so often. Your wife didn't fail for leaving for 5 minutes. You did.

First, you should talk to your extended family to see what they use in their home. They may be able to bring the larger, more expensive items (e.g. baby gates) with them depending on how they're traveling. But I've also made a list below.

Full disclosure: Most of this comes from research and talking to my parent friends since I only have a two week old. Some of these might be unnecessary depending on your home - they're just suggestions.

• Cabinet latches - You'll want them for drawers, cabinet doors, the refrigerator, and even your toilet seat cover. There are many different kinds, so shop around.
  
  
• Cord wraps - If you have venetian blinds (or something similar), you'll want to be able to tie up the excess cord since it's a choking hazard.
  
  
• Outlet covers - they make different kinds: covers that plug directly into outlets, plastic boxes that completely cover outlets that already have cords plugged into them, and cases that go around surge protectors.
  
  
• Stove knob covers if the knobs on your range/oven can be reached by a toddler. These are especially important if you have a gas range and don't want your house to blow up.
  
  
• Door knob covers - In case the toddler or four year old wants to wander into rooms it shouldn't.
  
  
• Baby Gates - if you have stairs, you'll need a gate at the top and bottom
  
  
• Solid plastic door stoppers - instead of the metal door stoppers with plastic toppers, which can be pried off and choked on. I'm not sure how necessary these are, but they're worth reviewing.
  

I hope that works, since OP is talking about the baby trying to climb up on the oven, not just play with knobs.

but here's a link for knobs, https://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Child-Proof-Covers/dp/B00068O22S/ref=sr_1_8?gclid=CjwKCAiA_MPuBRB5EiwAHTTvMXrC46R8zBxwGPaTOAKDB4TAfBMU3a7dxb3SghPrg0dbExH3C9Dh1hoCDp8QAvD_BwE&hvadid=177822908602&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9005508&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=2472993001708395714&hvtargid=kwd-138236815467&hydadcr=29578_10169732&keywords=oven+knob+protector&qid=1574025044&sr=8-8

I had the same problem with my dogs. They'd jump up, trying to see if there was any food up there and inadvertently turn on a burner. I've always been fire conscious, though, so I always make sure any areas around open flames are clear by at least five feet. As for the knobs, we got some of these. They work a treat while I continue my efforts at conditioning them out of counter-surfing.

Except your oven doesn't seem to be child proofed.

Looks like she childproofed hers by removing the knobs. Instead, you can get these: http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Clear-Covers-5-Pack/dp/B00068O22S
