Are there any safety features that prevent a young child from pushing the hot water lever?

No. It is just a lever - left side is the Hot & right side is the Cold. Our system is at the very back of our sink, and our children were teenagers when we first purchased this product.

No but water comes out quite slowly and on spring so can't be left running, a lot better than a young child tipping a kettle full of boiling water over them selves.I know which I feel safer with.

None that I observe, but the faucet is usually placed on the far back side of the sink. A child would have to be sitting on the counter to reach it.

No safety features, but it is difficult to turn it on because you have to push the handle rather than pull it forward. Does your child get up on the sink? It's not that easy, really to turn it on.

Yes it can be. That said, it's not designed for your application. It requires constant water flow and will stay in alarm and turned off if it doesn't detect it. I'm sure you can defeat the safety interlocks but at what risk? Trust me, a submerged arm in water with a cracked heating element tube isn't fun or funny at all!

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!

sorry, I do not know the answer to his question. The hot water trigger is fairly secured because it needs two knobs to be pushed simultaneously. However, cold water outlet is pretty easy to turn on.

There's a button that's attached to the faucet, which allows a faster stream. There's only one pressure. It's fairly fast compared to others but not fast enough to wash a child in the sink (at least not mine), etc. You can wash dishes but it wont be a full pressure as your regular faucet.

the mechanism is: you need to slide the "lever" to the middle position, where you can depress it down to release the liquid. I usually check it once in a while to ensure it remains locked and sometimes I found it was sliding to the middle, but not much. And never got an accident. I think better you teach your kid not to attempt it, and in worst case, they will teach themselve a lesson.

I actually purchased this item for my son for his 1st birthday and had no issues at all. There are no small parts that I am aware of. The only thing that could be potentially harmful is the spring action when you go to open it up, make sure to be in an open area :)

no..... because any child can move the up and down switch and push the button

Absolutely, if the water bottle is low enough for them to get a little leverage. It does not take a lot of strenghth to push the pump down. I keep mine up on a stool so my 3 year old granddaughter can't get to it. I feel certain she would find it great fun and would not hesitate to pump water all over the floor :)

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

I can't see this would be any help. The hot water is a continuous circulation and doesn't take that much electricity. Using a motion detector would mean you'd have to wait for the hot water to reach the faucet.

None that I have seen. We have been using it for a few months now with no problems!

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.

No there is nothing for it to click onto, and it wouldn't be safe. Great for when they are older though.

Yes. There is a spring loaded slide on the hot water lever which has to be slid to the right before the hot water lever can be depressed.

The "Off" lever looks the same as in the picture, whether the switch is on or off. There is a "stop" button immediately below the green "on" button. You can't see it because it is behind the large paddle. Touching the red paddle depresses the button beneath. This is a magnetic switch, so the red paddle is sensitive. It doesn't take very much pressure; just a touch of the knee or one finger trips it off.

there is an Anti-burn limiter in the handle control... it is easily moved, but requires you to remove the main handle and stem cover... this btw, is to prevent young/old persons from turning on water that is toooo hot. I set mine up for max hot water as all that use are older.
