True story of something that happened last night. We have built a little barricade between our family room and the kitchen, to keep the 2 and 3 year old out of the kitchen when cooking. Instead of simply moving it, or walking through the loungeroom , I stepped over it. In doing so, just happened to lose balance slightly and put my foot on the foot pedal of the flip top bin.(with quite some force) this launched the bin lid on an upward trajectory into my junk. Once Mrs Chewy had stopped laughing and dried her eyes(and I had recovered enough to see the funny side) and dried my eyes, for different reasons. Mrs Chewy convinced me to reenact it for hilarity.

Few years back I needed to keep my little fellers out of the kitchen for safety reasons as well.
So I built the ultimate Kid Stopper that clipped into the Hallway door.
Marvelous creation built out of Oak and dowl and dropped into the custom built catches.

Youngest realized that if you lifted it up, It fell out. ;)

Mk2.
Drop Locks. :D

2nd eldest then worked out that if you swung off the top rail and gripped the dowl's with your toes, They would pop out. :mad:

Mk3
Family in bed, wife decided to put the Kid Stopper Mk3 into place. Dad had a few beverages, Caught a bit of Telly and decided to visit the second Office in a hurry.
.
Scratch Kidd stopper Mk3.

I still have the cleats and locks still attached to the door jam's as a reminder. :D
 
We have a steel playpen that we can put the young fella in, but he's so strong he can push it all around the family room. So we've kinda given up on that now and let him free roam 1 side of the house. We have a couple of gates across doorways but they aren't wide enough to go across that gap. Yeah we've had couple incidents where we thought we were ghosts and just walk right through without opening it. Got me a bewdy once, the top ws unclipped but I didn't notice the bottom was still clipped. Head over turkey I went. Lol
