Toddlers in the dryer on the floor?

Interesting. So they might, or they might not...if I'd have had the foresight, I'd have gotten machines with child locks perhaps...I might just have to safety gate off the laundry if it's a problem...

nelle with a front loader i would be keeping the door of the washer open so it doesnt get smelly, we have a front loader and just have simple lock on the top of the laundry door!! easy !! check it out next time your over

I would just block off the laundry. Too many dangerous things in there anyway.

I have heard way too many horror stories with kids and pets in dryers, not to mention things like crayons that melt into the dryer and wreck it.

You know what I didn't think of? Riv can climb out a window, so I don't know what would be stopping him climbing up into a machine. I think a safety gate will be the way of the future then.

if your building a new laundry why not make your machines in an under bench cupboard?
make sure you have knobs that you could use a child lock thing on?
