Is there a safety mechanism to protect my toddlers from accidental exposure?

There is a easy safety mechanism, in that you have to move the spray lever from the left to the center for it to work. If it was in the hands of a toddler, they could still be at risk. The purpose of the Peeper Spray is to easily defend yourself. I would not recommend leaving it laying around the house but have it in a place for quick access when needed.I hope this helps.DougB

Why would this be around your toddler? Treat any kind of defensive item as if it were a firearm. Never point it at something you don't intend to destroy, and never lose possession of it.

Yes, unless your toddlers are very, very strong. Once you line up the red nozzle correctly, you must press firmly and evenly on it in order for the spray to escape. I don't think that the average toddler's finger would be strong enough to press down the nozzle.

I would say its risky. I personally wouldn't want anything around my newborn. I would be worried about their neck getting in a position where they can't breathe. I got it when my son was 4 months old and he immediately came off of it and put it over his face (to chew on). I ended up attaching it to the sheets/mattress pad with safety pins. In a month and a half he figured out how to get his arm under it, which made the some of the pins come out. Glad I have a monitor because he could have poked himself. Anyway I quit using it. Not really worth it for a month and a half use plus I didn't see any improvement in his flat head.

I don't think anything is 100% safe, but this outlet should keep most of our little guys safe. Some kids are more curious than others so I suggest that you keep an eye on them just in case. Sorry I could not give you more

yes absolutely use a helmet some children are more clumsier than others and you never want to risk hitting their head

I think these might slip off too easily and therefore not suitable for a toddler, there'd be a danger of choking. Maybe you can rub his fingers with something instead, like lemon juice, or let him/her wear fabric bandages on the fingers?

I don't know much about these locks but I would maybe suggest like hotel locks for the top of your doors. That way if your toddler does open the door they can't get out because of the latch.

Yes, but let's call it the adult prevention switch; it doesn't deter kids but it is difficult for me to use. If I could find the proper adult version I would pay extra for it.

There is a mesh zip around cover that will keep them from jumping out. There is not a safety strap.

Can this be used to prevent kids from falling off the play area as a circumference?

Not at all, kids/toddlers are far more likely to trip over the base of the door than the bottom plate of this. If you have a toddler that drags their feet chances are you will already be holding their hand as the step through the door since most house doors are raised anyways. As an adult, even If I was clumsy and tripped on this daily, Id rather face that then an intruder in my room. :)

I stopped using it after my baby started walking because she hated being held in place at that point...she'd rather be exploring. I don't see why it'd be unsafe until they could pull themselves up and try to get out.

Yes! We are using it that way right now with our (just turned) 2 year old. I make sure she's buckled and I slide her up to the table before I walk away, so I don't worry about her trying to escape!

No , I would make sure you had some kind of safety belt attached as they ( babies ) are apt to wiggle ! My daughter was stable and reasoned with enough by the age of 2 but before that I would use a safety belt

It can be a little tricky, but worth it so have the safety feature so that kids can't get to the knobs

All i can say to your comment is ditto. Putting any kind of shoelaces or anything loose for that matter is purely dangerous. If it unravels (whic. Is more than likely going to happen) both parent and child are going down. I left mine off and am depending solely on the Velcro straps to keep my toddler from having anything to do with the rear wheel.

No, they are well-made. The kids using them are 12, 13, and 14, so I can't tell you if they are toddler-proof!

I would say no. That never happened for us. I used this for my son a lot and have used it for my daughter as well. My son jumped out if his big crib just after 2 1/2. I don't recall when he was able to get out of the Bjorn but we never had a safety issue with it. It's the best!
