Best stove safety covers & appliance latches according to redditors

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

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

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.

Your cloud is the best cloud - what a good boy!

Another idea... there are a bunch of childproof locks you could probably use that would be a lot easier than moving a 50 pound chair everyday. Something like this or similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007A2ZSZ8

Edit: this one is self locking so you’d never forget to lock it in the first place: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SK5BRDL

Mine does the same thing. I use these

First, I'd put away any of your fragile and expensive collectibles. Put them on a high shelf or see if you can keep them at a trusted friend's house.

Try to get a latch for your door or a door knob cover.

As far as babysitting, if you just do a crappy job, they won't ask you to do it (hopefully). If they leave you with them, call the parents constantly and ask dumb questions about childcare.

• "What do you mean I'm supposed to put a clean diaper on the baby instead of leaving it naked in the crib?"
  
  
• "What do you mean the small kid wasn't supposed to have candy for dinner?"
  
  
• "What do you mean I wasn't supposed to invite over my friend with a criminal record?"
  
  Better yet, leave the house as soon as the parents start heading for the door.

Doorknob protector. Make sure that everything in his room is super baby proofed--don't forget to anchor all bureaus, dressers, shelves, everything--and then put a doorknob protector on the inside doorknob. If he gets out of bed, he gets out of bed, but you can sleep soundly knowing that he is safe. My kid got out of bed the first few nights and I actually found him asleep on the carpet surrounded by cars a couple times. Eventually he would just throw himself back in bed when he got tired, and from there he started staying all night. This is the one we use: https://www.amazon.com/Door-Knob-Covers-Child-Safety/dp/B071GWJX4D

You could also do one of those door knob covers that make it hard for little hands to turn the knob

When I was little, we had these plastic things over the doorknobs, to keep littluns out of the dining room. They worked by squeezing, or by placing your thumb on the actual knob. Hard for a kid to figure out (they just spin over the knob if you try to open it normally), but easy enough by the time I was old enough to be allowed in there.

Sort of like this: http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Count-Door-Knob-Cover/dp/B007A2ZP6K/ref=pd_tcs_subst_ba_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=06GY0CDQ6P2M8SS2N7CC

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.

It's easier to spend the 5$ on the handle covers though.

This is basically the go-to babyproofing method for door knobs:http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Count-Door-Knob-Cover/dp/B007A2ZP6K

Don't tell him about them and when he tries doing it but can't, yell out "suckerrrrrr!"

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.

It was an illegally mounted outlet on the side of their kitchen island. :/ [Have you thought about one of those glass barriers like this for your stove?] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00005BX4Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1451505916&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=stove+guard&dpPl=1&dpID=41pr2L8ZcYL&ref=plSrch) At my own house I just have our whole kitchen gated off. Our kitchen has cabinets from the 50s and you can't baby proof them so I've had to make the entire room baby free

and

Oven Lock

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

Non-mobile:

• knob covers
  
• oven door lock
  
• stove guard

How about doorknob covers?:

https://www.amazon.com/Door-Knob-Covers-Child-Safety/dp/B071GWJX4D

Maybe try those plastic covers for traditional door knobs. Not sure what your of shower / bath faucet you have but if it's two separate knobs they might work.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071GWJX4D/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_v8Q2Db00HVCQK

If you have the right type of faucet this might be a solution. Good luck!

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.
  

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.

my chocolate did that a few months ago and it scared the shit out of us... two days later I installed these stove knob covers

That is cute! I might be being overly cautious here, but I would not to let him or her get too comfortable with that. Also, you might want to put one of those plastic child-lock things on the door. It's unlikely, but I would be scared about the little guy/gal getting stuck in there if they're alone.

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.

Door knob covers worked really well for us if you have the right type of knob.

[This ](Prince Lionheart Stove Guard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005BX4Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.M3RCb0DBAP4D) Is the exact one we have. The negative reviews seem to be mostly about the sticky tape, so I went with 3M foam double stick squares and they’ve been working fine. I have a cooktop that goes in the counter, so I bought two guards so I have one in front and one along the side he can reach over from.

I've heard the doorknob blockers used for wandering children, most with disabilities work really well.

Stuff like that.

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

Hmm, without seeing how it's constructed it would be hard to say if screws would work or not. Easiest method I can think of would be to put something like this on it. Mount it so that it holds the door shut (as long as your new seal is even, you don't need that much pressure to get a good seal).

Get this and find one of these.

1. Snap on a baby-proof door knob cover. They're sold any place baby supplies are sold (K-Mart, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.).
   
   or...
   
   
2. Install a locking doorknob in reverse, so it locks from the outside. Use the kind that unlocks by simply turning the knob from the outside. This bothers some parents, but you'll eventually stop locking your kid inside and eventually replace the doorknob with a non-locking one as your kid grows. As a safety measure, hang the back-up unlocking pin someplace high up on the inside of the room in case a parent somehow accidentally locks himself in the room.
   
   Install a gate at the top of the stairs. Be exceptionally watchful so that you know beforehand when she's getting mature enough to defeat the gate.
   

If you have round door knobs, use the clamshell guards like this.

Then wrap them with a layer of this.

That will make it so you need an adult amount of pressure to open the doors.

The round ones are super easy to use though....

We got a ok to wake clock for this issue. I also had to put a lock on her door for a week to keep her from leaving(id always unlock it after she fell asleep or stopped messing with the door). After a week of this she did fine and didn’t leave her room unless the clock turned green(which I then removed the lock since it wasn’t needed anymore). Mine also dropped naps early(when she turned 2) we do quiet time instead for a hour and half. We also did the above for a week before the routine set in. It’s been a year since I got the clock and did the door lock and we haven’t had issues since.

This is the clock we got

You could also remove the doorknob and flip it so the locks on the outside instead of getting a door cover.

Could something like this worked

I used them on my child’s dresser to keep him from pulling open the drawers

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.

We've had to get some of these (this style, not this brand specifically). Bonus fun: watching grown ups who've never seen them before try to open your door lol.

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
