Does anyone know of any products which can be fitted to washing machine doors to prevent little ones from opening them.
DD (aged 1) has just worked out how to open the door, which obviously worries me!

Keep it turned off at the plug and it can't cause any problems.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0

My little one's eleven months old and LOVES the washing machine and the dryer, I can just sit him down when the they are on and he'll watch for hours, fascinated. Luckily he's not learned how to open the door yet, although I will watch him closely now as obviously 1 year olds can do it!0

Thanks, we already do that; though I'd prefer it if we could secure the door too just in case
