It has a child lock mode so the settings and start button don’t do anything when the child lock is enabled.
But the power button still works and is next to the start button.
My 2 year old daughter pressed the power button 1 hour into the 1hr 30min cycle and now because everything is wet, starting the cycle again means it’s going to take nearly 4 hours.
edit apparently its normal to let two year olds roam free to press buttons. Shrug. One second to push a washing machine button.
Do you think 2 year olds should be kept in a cage or something? Of course they can run about. The buttons on the washing machine aren’t exactly high up, they’re easy to press. As parents you make the house as safe as possible for little kids but it’ll never be 100% fool proof.
One second to put a finger in a socket. One second to pull a pan from the stove. One second to open the dishwasher while its running. One second to eat a marble.
Their fingers can’t fit in a socket but OK. Nor can they reach pans from the stove as it’s too high. She’s not strong enough to open the dishwasher door. She’s out of the phase of putting random crap in her mouth, but when she was you just don’t give them things they can put in their mouths unsupervised, you clear them away once they’re finished with, it’s not rocket science.
If you’re a parent, you’d know that you cannot keep an eye on them 100% of the time.
- free roaming unsupervised child
- child kept in a cage.
Are there perhaps some alternative options between these two extremes, maybe? Such as … watching your child?
Who said they’re unsupervised? I legitimately don’t understand how you think this works. Do you think an adult should be behind them 100% of the time with their hands ready to grab theirs at a moments notice?
🤦♀️ That was literally my first comment.
If the child is supervised, you would see them go to the washing machine and reach for the button. Which is the problem you initially raised about the child lock.
“This button isnt child locked”
Supervise your child
“Omg are you telling me to put my child in a cage?!”
… right.
