[quote=Anonymous]My inlaws live in florida and have a pool on their back porch which has many doors going to it.  My toddler can open locks and is EXTREMELY attracted to water.  My inlaws are dying to have my kids at their house alone and say b/c the door dings when it opens, it'll be fine with the pool.  But I can EASILY imagine a scenario where the baby is crying, they're trying to help the baby and its loud, and the toddler sneaks out to the pool.  Or the door is left open as someone goes in and out to clear dinner from the outdoor table and doesn't even notice the toddler is missing until too late.  2.5 year olds aren't watched 100% of the time and it'd just be too easy for him to end up at the bottom of the pool especially if the adults brush off the concern.

They've asked me what products etc they can put in that would make me comfortable.  Is there anything that fully secures a pool around kids?  Covers?  Loud alarms for the water?  Any other ideas?  It honestly makes me nervous even when I am there b/c even with 4 adults around it can happen so easily with a toddler running around and no one realizing the other adults don't have their eye on him.[/quote]
