Can this be baby-proofed or somehow prevent toddlers or young children from spilling water on the floor?

The manufacture does not offer any child proof device that you need. It would be up to you to use your creativity

There are end caps on the spout openings. You could torque them a little tighter.

Kids can not get near my tank. I would not have it in place that young kids can play with it.

A child can open the door where the water bottle is and the only safety device on the hot water is a red button inset in the water button. It would be fairly easy for an older child to use this button. The only thing that would prevent a small child is the placement of the buttons. They are on the top of the unit so the only way they could reach it is from a chair. Hope this helps you.

Hello, we Have hardwood floor and found it to be just fine in protecting our son from some of his falls. He has taken some pretty bad spills on this mat and has basically dusted himself off and kept going. Our son has used this since he was about 7 months old and is now 13months old. Now that he walks it's obviously harder to keep him on the mat but that's not really the mats fault! :) hope that helps.

I used it for my newborn grandson - just place a hand towel over the edge and along a portion of the bottom to minimize slipping. It worked fine.

Yes. it does have little holes and should not be used as a device to protect against water leaking onto something!

Hi K., Mine has a lot of play too when the door is closed & locked. I think it is part of the design, and cannot be remediated. I believe that it is fine against a fire or theft. However, I think that there a risk a the docs getting wet in case of a flood. Have not tried this hypothesis though. I kept mine. (Did not return it.) Cheers Cam

I bought this for a gift. I don't know that it will keep the baby from falling out. I bought it as a baby gift to be used for the purpose of covering where y he baby would sit.

Hmm... We haven't had any spills or accidents, but the cover removes easily and will fit in a small washer. The padding would require a large washer though. I believe that liquid would make it through. It's not lined with a waterproof layer. I would recommend turning the cover inside out and scotch guarding it before use if you're worried about it.

It is sturdy...we sit on top of it to put on our shoes. It will depend on what type of floor it will be on as to whether it can be pushed around. However, it is heavy but nothing is toddler proof.

Yes. It's a soft spout so it's relatively easy. But the holes are vertical (so it'll be somewhat spill proof) so it takes some learning from the baby.

No. This is not a spill proof cup, it is an open cup with an optional baffle. The baffle slows the flow of water but does not prevent spills. It is great for teaching a child how to use an open cup. Also, as others have noted you will want to start with 2 baffles per cup.

No. But it would keep your toddler from getting cut if the glass shattered. You might want to cover the glass with a clear plastic film (try Home Depot for that). Or replace the glass with clear plexiglass. Then the mesh window guard.

Hi - if you pull hard enough on the small white hinged lever, it will unlock fairly easily, so I would not recommend this product as a childproof option. Maybe a bar-style lock will work better for this purpose?

I have a 2.5 year old and he cannot remove it. The flippers behind the eyes are actually a strap that places tension on the faucet. I'm sure if the toddler is determined enough anything is possible, but I've owned this product over a year and have been happy with it.

I suppose it depends on the configuration of your home and your infant/toddler. We have a couple of panels protecting the entertainment center and several in front of our sliding patio door. This way, if our little one falls, hopefully no one will be harmed. We also take it outside and to relative's homes.

I do not believe it is THAT spill proof. I wouldn't put any liquids in it unless the liquid was in a container of its own

The cover snaps on and is very tight. Your toddler may pick it up and/or tip it over, but the cover won't come off and most of the water will stay inside the bowl.
