Clevamama Oven Door Guard

My daughter loves helping me out in the kitchen, banging about with the pots and pans while I make dinner. I prefer to have her where I can see her (especially since, when left to her own devices, she has taken to putting everything down the toilet - including my digital camera, and my Blackberry). But our cooker is not the newest or the fanciest, and the oven door gets piping hot. I used to panic that Lucia would accidentally brush up against it, and burn herself.

So I did a bit of searching, and was excited to find the Clevamama Oven Door Guard.  Developed by mums Suzanne Browne and Martina Delaney, the guard is made from heat-resistant polycarbonate plastic. Specially designed suction pads secure it to the front of your cooker, providing a barrier between your child, and the baking hot door. I made a quick call to Suzanne, and she kindly agreed to send me out a sample to try.  The promotional blurb says that heat is reduced by up to 50%, but I've been using the guard for nearly a year now, and it has never gone past luke-warm. It's one of the most useful, and effective safety products I've ever reviewed, and I have absolutely no hesitation recommending it to anyone with similar safety concerns.

The guard fits standard sized cooker doors, and is transparent, so you can keep your little ones safe, and still keep a close eye on dinner.

The Clevamama Oven Door Guard, RRP: £23.99, can be ordered from Boots.com
