Does this train humidifier lock so my 2 year old can't dump the water all over the floor?

It does not lock, but it fits in pretty snugly and with the water in it it's pretty heavy, so I don't think you'll have a problem. We haven't at least. I also keep ours up on the dresser out of reach.

There is a cap on the water basin but water is always in the main part of the machine. It's cold water he can't get hurt but it can be messy . I hope this helps.

It does not lock but when it's full it's heavy. Really though not much can stop a two year old from anything. I have friends who have twins at age two and it's crazy town every day. I live in fear of my son reaching two. If I were you I would tie down the base. That the engine part with the light. It is not attached to the tank and it's also the most visually interesting part. If the base is tied down it would be really hard to flip the tank because it slides into a basin in the rear.

While the humidifier doesn't have a lock, it's never been a problem for us (purchased when our son turned two). Ours is placed a few feet off the ground and he's never attempted to turn it over or look inside. He does, however, like to turn the knob so it runs at full capacity. There was an occasion or two when he fell asleep with the humidifier running at full capacity, with the bedroom door closed . . . we had a rainforest in our own home!

Nope! Our 3 yr spilled it only once, only a little water spilled out. But what he does do is turn the knob so it's running at full capacity (he loves to watch the "steam" come out of the smoke stack) - this is too much moisture for his bedroom. We relocated the humidifier to a more central and open part of the house. That way we can monitor it to make sure he doesn't turn it up too high. I'm not aware of any locking humidifiers. Good luck!

No, it's doesn't lock. The tank part on top lifts up off the bottom part, just like most humidifiers.

The engine portion is the water tank which has a sealed cap but some water does sit in the bottom. We set ours on a large jelly roll pan so it doesn't leave the dresser it sits on wet.

Not that I've seen... and as a matter of fact I left it out in the rain and I can't figure out how to get the water out of the bottom. I would still recommend this one..it didn't take my son long at all to figure out he couldn't pull up on it...I kind of think even with sand..they'd still tip over with a cart. I buy everybody's kid this for their 1st bday because I love it so much.

We love ours, had it nearly two years, never a problem with water getting on the inside..

No. But it doesn't hold all that much water. Just a couple of gallons. I empty it every day at the end of play. It has an easy pull plug. My kids lOVE this thing!

No. But you can buy a child proof latch to lock the lid. But really this feature should have been there.

It leaks a lot when filled with water, and yes, the cap is designed to lock. I filled mine with sand. It's not too heavy for me to move that way.

Do you mean if top part of the squirt attaches to the bottom part that holds the water? Yes, turn the top until it drops in to latches, than another little twist (i do not remember with direction), and it will lock. I kinda hooks to the indentations on the ridge, like lids on some glass jars or medicine containers do.

For little kids...maybe. My daughter was 4 when she got this...now 5...and has no problem getting water out.

I live in an area that has high deposits of Calcium gypsum and who knows what all, and as of yet the only mineral deposits I have seen were in the filter when I change them. However, water jar that the Little rattles go into have shown no signs of build up. I Have been using our humidifier since the end of March of this year. So it appears it might be blocking some of the minerals in the water. I hope this helps. I marked I don't know. Good luck.

No it does not. We use ours as a sand box and even in our humid summer environment of the midwest, the sand dries out over time. We have added water several times. I believe that steam escapes when the lid is on during the hotter daytimes.

It does not drip and it is not easy to unscrew so most toddlers would be unable to do so. My toddler loves is and so do I.

It humidifies by running water down a mesh filter while air is being blown through the filter and some of the water evaporates. Any water that doesn't evaporate collects at the bottom and drains away. And yes you end up wasting a lot of water.

Can't speak about MyBaby HoMedics humidifier, but I know it didn't work at all with the HoMedics larger model. Best to get a humidifier that has a filter to avoid all these issues.

Yes. It has an on/off button behind the humidifier above the USB-cable connection.

Doesn't lock per say. The lid latches closed. You need to push a button soon too to open. Our daughter is 2 and doesn't have the power to push the button down yet. Aha actually doesn't even pay attention to the pail at all.

This is the third winter I have used this humidifier. It has not gotten the top of my dresser wet, not once. This is the first humidifier I have used that did not make the surface wet. Be careful when taking the tank off the base and putting the tank back on the base. I find it easy to do. One hint--make sure the gasket is flat before screwing the lid back on. Then don't tighten it too tight.

Yes, I have a small (short) 2 year old and this fits him well. The front is high enough to catch any leaks.
