| Question for the parents - door knob safety
My kids have reached the height of door knobs being in-line with their foreheads/eyes. They love running around at full tilt, pushing each other into things, etc, and so we're looking for ideas to make door knobs less of a hazard for their heads. I've seen one too many tragedies where a child has run into a door knob and ended up passing away (or other serious injuries) due to the force of the impact and "hidden" internal bleeding for me to not be paranoid about it.

Cut up a pool noodle to fit over the handle?
My kids haven't hit that age yet. I hadn't thought about handles at all. Table and counter corners sure.

Just my two bits, but I don't think my children ran around inside the house at high speeds............ they ran around outside. If they behaved like that inside the house, there would be hell to pay.
We had a large backyard that bordered on a huge ass park, so they had their fill of running around outside. When we moved to a house with a smaller back yard, I built a three part playhouse complete with suspension bridge, fire pole, swings, slide, rope ladders, etc. It was more of a fort or treehouse. Wife made me stop at trap doors, hee hee. The thing was more solid than the house. Probably more dangerous than doorknobs, lol.

We'd have to drive a whole 4 minutes to the closest one! We have the space and layout that is otherwise conducive to running around inside - except a couple door knobs. We're here for only a few more years, so spending money on a playground in the backyard isn't going to happen.
