Our fridge is a bottom freezer model, so she is still too short to open it even when we are in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/child-proof-fridge-lock#post-2446042 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 10:06:39 +0000 PinkElephant 2446042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: I never have either...I saw one once on an apartment we viewed and my reaction was kind of "who would do such a thing?!" because I don't like the message of mommy controlling the food.....but recent happenings have made lightbulb of understanding go on in my head.</p> <p>@avivoca: DDs are definitely not alone in the kitchen, but occasionally my back is turned to the fridge (like if I have the stove/oven on), and this is when she strikes :) She used to run for the cabinets every chance she got, but eventually lost interest. I'm hoping this happens with the fridge, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/child-proof-fridge-lock#post-2445603 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:09:52 +0000 avivoca 2445603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. It hasn't been an issue. We don't even lock our cabinets because she is never in the kitchen without us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/child-proof-fridge-lock#post-2445590 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:00:42 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2445590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - we're not planning to (and I've never been to a house with kids who locked the fridge). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/child-proof-fridge-lock#post-2445331 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 19:05:57 +0000 PinkElephant 2445331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use a childproof fridge lock of some sort? </p> <p>With DD1, we never did..mainly because the kitchen was galley-style and gated off. But in beginning to think we might need one for DD2. She is SO FAST and doesn't hesitate to help herself to whatever she wants (plus she'll toss everything else out to get to the yogurt/berries/pickles). </p>
