how safe is this around toddlers?

I'm getting one for my two year olds room. plan on positioning it behind a dresser so most of it is covered up, but if by chance he does touch it, then he will learn real quick to never touch it again. There are a whole lot worse things in a house that are much more dangerous than a little heat. It's not life or death.

I would not leave this on with out suprivision. Since it is a heater it does tend to get hot so keep hands off the top of the devise.

It does get pretty hot. My 4 year old burnt his hand on it. Also, I wouldn't waste my money on it. We had it for a month and it quit working. This heater is junk.

I asked myself this same question after i bought it. For me it's fine. I'm confident it is safe for my family. It does get hot. Not so hot you can't touch it very briefly, but you don't want to keep your hand on it. It's very stable. But if you aren't going to be in the presence of you child and you know they won't listen to you and not touch the heater, this isn't for you. That said, this heater heats a room really fast and keeps it warm. I've been very happy with it.

I don't have toddlers, but a cat, who seems to have the sense to stay away from the heater. However, if I had a toddler I'd probably not place it on the floor but somewhere out of reach of the child.

Teresa, not being a smart***, but this is a heater, it gets hot & radiates heat. If you would have a way to block access to this unit then ok, but if not this isn't for you.

Definitely not toddler safe. Don't get me wrong this is a great heater that doesn't give off noxious fumes like oil heaters. But if you touch the metal grates when it is on or soon after turning it off you will be burned. Treat it like a fire place and put a gate around it.

I did not have a problem, however, I am not sure I understand your concern. I am a grandmother of 3 under 5years of age and a mother of 2. I used a playpen (especially this one) with all and I never had anyone hurt themselves. If anything, they learned to hang on so they would not fall backward. A great incentive to move forward around the playpen.

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

I think you will be fine. It is sturdy and has a wide base. My 16 month old can still use it with no issue.

If an adult uses it on the 2-yr, then it's safe. Do not let the kid use it by himself.

A child can stick his or her head through the weave. If you can address this, then have at it. It would be adorable, and totally irresistible to an older child. Like, I could never leave my two year old alone with it if it weren't mostly out of reach or safe to swing on.

I purchased it for 2 and 4 years old grandchildren and it is dangerous for 2 year old! 4 year old loves it but with older friends. I'm thinkiing she will use it for several years! He is big and will grow into it.. It is extremely sturdy. Has a place for a lock so little ones can't use it. There's is kept locked for safety.It is perfect for older kids!

We have had a few 2 and 3 year olds on it no problems. I would imagine it would be ok for a couple more years

My personal feeling for safety is 2 under age 5-6 unless they are bigger. I'm sure as many as three could fit but i tend to err on the side go safety.

My daughter is 5 months and plays with it without a problem and I don't find it hazardous at all.

It's certainly safe for a 15 month old. They probably won't be able to extend and retract the ramp by themselves without a fair amount of practice though.

Yes, I believe your toddler could pull it down. I don't think it would cause serious injury as the pole is light weight, but it would probably scare her/him.

I have used in preschool classrooms with children as young as three and have not experienced safety concerns. The domes collapse easily.

I don't think this is safe that close to a child. My (adult woman) fingers can fit through the widest part of the bars, so I know little baby fingers could. Also, the clip isn't very secure and the fan can fall off whatever it's clipped to.

Sure, you just have to be careful and walk with them until they understand their capabilities. It's not a well designed toy. Kids can easily fall off and get injured. I'd honestly recommend a helmet. I push my daughter around, but have my arm around her body to prevent her from falling off.

Yes to a certain extent. A small toddler would probably be held back but I don't know if I would trust it. Also may get fingers caught in the netting. Hope this helps.

Depending upon the age of your son I wouldn't as a safety (smothering/choking...) concern. I would recommend asking your pediatrician.
