Hope you gentlemen are enjoying your little ones, or hoping to have little ones soon. I remember burning my hands on the stove at some point as a child, and I’m sure many of you have, as well. It’s inevitable that as children get older, the risks of them getting hurt grow immensely. While we can’t protect them from everything, we can do our best to avoid major injuries by taking proper precautions. I hope my kiddo never receives a major injury, but i’ll see where life takes us.

Once our son began walking and reached a certain height, it was obvious he could reach the stove fairly easily. Therefore, precautions needed to be taken in the form of a stove guard. There are numerous stove guards out there and you can do your research on which one you like the best. We bought the Yaocom Stove Guard, which is a metal barrier that covers the front and partly the sides of the stove. It has done a great job of keeping our son from touching the hot stove top, and avoiding burn injuries. Of course, take whatever precautions you can to keep kids away from the stove, especially during and right after cooking.

The Yaocom Stove guard is easy to install. You basically just have to apply the double-sided adhesive to the counter top and the bottom of the guard. From there, it stays locked in pretty well. The only challenge at the beginning is reaching over the slightly raised metal wall, but you will get used to that soon enough. Try it out and see what you think. Whatever the case, get those stoves covered.
