We installed a half-door going down to our basement from the kitchen, where there was no door previously. To Rustypatina's point, our half-door locks from the downstairs side, so that an adult can reach over the the top to the other of the door and unlock it, but a toddler couldn't. Later when we're less concerned about it we'll just leave the door unlocked all the time.

It's easy to wipe fingerprints off a cabinet. Less easy to keep a baby or toddler from pulling out wine bottles from a rack that is right at their level.

tasterspoon, we use one like this instead, for this same purpose.

LOVE LOVE LOVE.

This might be something to DIY. For under $15 you can get a basic molded plastic booster seat that has two straps for securing it to a chair (one that goes around the back, and one that goes underneath). You could use a drill to make four new holes - two on the front and two on the back, and put the straps through those holes instead, so you could secure the booster around the bench front-to-back.

We tried to move pretty quickly to the regular potty and a step-stool. But then we were constantly taking off and putting on a child-sized seat, which was also an annoyance.

Finally we got this two-in-one seat which has been completely fabulous.

A miniata?

Cute!

(But who needs a jar of scissors? Maybe a family with way more kids than mine.)

We went the spray adhesive route (so at least we were still using the vinyl!). In my daughter's room we hung avalance above to cover the roller mechanism. Poor quality pic here.

Smart!
