They are really cheap at like Home Depot or Lowes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-baby-proof-this#post-1406599 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 09:26:08 +0000 blackbird 1406599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also switch it out. We have plastic coated ones in our house. The plastic keeps it from getting hot They also make plastic rounded vent covers for it that sort of directs the air better and will make it so he can't just throw things into it easily </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-baby-proof-this#post-1406493 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 09:01:23 +0000 Ra 1406493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: @.twist.: It did not even cross my mind to switch it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-baby-proof-this#post-1406478 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:56:55 +0000 .twist. 1406478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmmm. I think i'll eventually have this problem. my thoughts are:</p> <p>1. he touches it and it hurts and he doesnt do it again; and/or</p> <p>2. could you replace it with a wooden/plastic vent cover so it doesnt get as hot? </p> <p>those are both my plans of action! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-baby-proof-this#post-1406470 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:54:31 +0000 Mae 1406470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Switch it out for a wood one that won't get so hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-baby-proof-this#post-1406466 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:53:14 +0000 Ra 1406466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've looked all over the internet and can't find anything.</p> <p>We have a vent (right near B's play area) that gets really hot. For whatever reason, B gravitates toward this thing. I spend a good portion of my day pulling him away from the vent and he immediately crawls right back.</p> <p>I've found ways to baby proof so that LOs can't throw things down the vent but nothing about them being too hot. Any ideas?</p> <p>[attach=2606/14/n0mp8t.450x600.image.jpg] </p>
