It has a child lock mode so the settings and start button don’t do anything when the child lock is enabled.

But the power button still works and is next to the start button.

My 2 year old daughter pressed the power button 1 hour into the 1hr 30min cycle and now because everything is wet, starting the cycle again means it’s going to take nearly 4 hours.

    So you do this with your children right? Constantly standing right next to them, arms at the ready to grab them, running around never letting them within 50cm of you?

        Yeah it’s an extreme, but it’s what you seem to be suggesting because apparently not doing that means they’re not supervised. What do you do with your children?

            Yeah? I had stuff in my hands and I was talking to my other kid. I’m not fucking superhuman.

            Can you please answer my question about what you do with your children?

                And they’re never ever ever out of arms reach? You’re always there 100% of the time from the moment they’re up to when they go to sleep ready to grab them, even when they’re running around like crazy, ready to grab an arm when they move it? And you’re never doing anything else in that time? Like making lunches or tidying or doing chores or tending to another child?

                If you were a parent you’d know how ridiculous that is.

                  “How do I prevent my child pressing a button when they are immediately in front of me”

                  Sounds like you are either being dishonest on how much you actually watch your kid, or being intentionally obtuse.

                  even when they’re running around like crazy, ready to grab an arm when they move it? And you’re never doing anything else in that time?

                  Your words. While they are running around like crazy - in the kitchen without you being there? Or maybe your washing machine is in some other room?

                  Shut the door to the room you don’t want them to go into.

                  Your hands are too full because you’re making lunch? Are you implying you solely focus on that, and nothing else, and in that “one second” they have gone to the washing machine and pressed buttons.

                  Is the only possible way to stop a child getting to the machine is with your hands? Maybe theres another way … like moving your body to stand between them
