Tub Faucet Q

MrsL1022

Hopefully someone can tell me if this actually exists... We have faucets that are VERY easy to turn on and off, too easy. Tonight C almost burned himself, I was even sitting right there(I never ever leave him in the tub just to clarify). He likes to splash the water as it comes out of the faucet so I turn it to luke warm and let him play. Tonight before I could do anything he grabbed it and turned it all the way hot. I grabbed him right away and turned the water off but now he has put 2 and 2 together and keeps trying to do it. I remember looking at a house that had controllable faucets that were child proof, as in the parent could make it so that you couldn't turn it past a certain temperature. Maybe this is a figment of my imagination but I feel like I have seen this once before and thought it was a great feature. I do not want to have any accidents and I'd gladly change out my fixture to avoid it. The kid is like lightning. Does this exist??

You can go down in your basement and change the hot water heater to 120 degrees...that way the water never gets scalding hot.  We had ours set this way, and actually just last night during the storm our hot water heater got turned off somehow, so John went to turn it back on this morning and wasn't quite sure where to set it - it's HOT now, thanks for the reminder to send him back down to adjust it!

This was going to be my suggestion exactly.
