Default Recessed door knobs

I've got a little one who is just about at the right height to whack her
head on a protruding door knob. There is nothing I can do to change the
swing of the door to put the door knob inside the jam.


LOL! This too shall pass ;-) Meantime, they make safety covers that are
padded with an internal rubber grip (so they dont slip when you open the
door).

I know what *we* did. We had 1 doorknob that was located where Charlotte
would whack herself if she ran down the hall. We had those little
inflatable arm things for beginning swimmers. We put one over it and blew
it up nice and tight. Worked fine. Lasted the whole time too until she was
old enough it wasnt needed.

BTW, you may want to do the same to the tub spigot at that age. They even
sell cute ones just for that or can use the other swimmer arm blowup
thingie.
