My daughter is 14, almost 15, months old, as tall and as heavy as the average 2 1/2 year old, and has learned how to open or break almost all of the safety proof locks in our house. So far the only one she hasn't mastered is the $25.00 door lock for the front door (french handle) that I had to buy online.
She has broken then by simply applying pressure in the right place for several minutes or pulling on them and pushing them back several times really fast. By the time I run over there (less than ten seconds) they are broken and she's trying to get into the cooking supplies (all toxic things are way up high where even she can't reach).
I am going insane to put it lightly. I have spent over a hundred on different brands only to find them broken or useless within a day or two. I try not to let her see me open anything but most times she watches someone else do it or she runs over and fiddles with it for a few minutes every few hours.
She has learned how to open the plastic round locks for round door handles (which is very very bad seeing as she can open doors already!) and has learned how to open the rectangular latches that go over two handles at once to lock. Any hidden ones inside drawers are normally broken within three days of installing them.
I was not expecting to have to go through this at such an early age. She is already grabbing things off of the counter tops and out of top drawers. I'm running out of creative ideas.
Does anyone out there know of any amazing products to keep small children out of things?
