User feedback

• I think this product is very efficient as it helps us, as parents, to ensure the child’s safety in the kitchen. This product is a very creative yet simple product and I like the idea of it.

• I think this product is user-friendly to a certain extent. For example, many parents could use this product. However, many disabled parents might not be able to use it.

• I think this product is great and I’ve nothing to suggest!• I think It might be a little difficult. You’ll have to use either glue or magnet to place it on the

stove.• This product allows many parents who could not afford to keep a close watch on the child

feel safer as the child would face one less danger.• It doesn’t solve any of my problems as I do not have such problems to face.• I think I will give it a 9/10 as there might be room for improvement.• I don’t think there is any such products selling in the market.. I mean, as far as I know of.• Nope! Not at all!• The disadvantages are that it might be a little too troublesome for the users. The advantage

is that it serves its purpose by keeping the child safe.
