Two-Year-Olds and Turntables...

Of all the off limits household fixtures available to test one's serenity, our granddaughter has zeroed in on my humble-but-muchly-treasured MMF-5 as central object of interest when she comes to visit us. I really really really don't want to move the turntable from its current, meticulously calculated, location if at all possible (It's low, unobstructed by superfluous cabinetry, and on the side wall relative to speakers and LCD monitor.) but would be very interested in how some others have successfully dealt with this type of situation from a kinder/gentler standpoint.

Can you block it off with furniture? Or, a toddler fence? How about closing the door and making the room off-limits? You could cover it with a blanket so she can't see it -- out of sight is out of mind? Or, you could distract her with something else in another room. I suppose it would be expecting too much to ask her parents to keep her away.

If all else fails, I would move the turntable and suffer the inconvenience of repositioning it back afterwards. Perhaps it could be easily elevated on a portable support. Good luck.
