I wasn't saying not to get a kidco or similar device but just that they weren't around or thought of at the time... The valley comfort also had protection from direct contact with the firebox.
 
When my grandson was less then a year old we told him the wood stove was HOT and he stayed away. That was a year ago. Last week he was here and I went to put wood in the fire and he said "Papa HOT". 5 grand kids have visited and stayed in our home the last 6 years and not a one has ever needed anything other then correction to stay away from the wood stove. Now, when they become teenagers, as we have raised 3 boys, and they roughhouse in the stove room you then can begin to worry.
