A child lock can prevent certain button actions, depending on the model. It does not make the robot's brushes, water tanks or moving dock mechanisms safe toys.

A practical checklist
- Read which controls the lock actually disables.
- Keep cleaning tools, detergent and spare parts stored appropriately.
- Schedule runs separately from floor play and supervise first uses.
What this looks like at home
A locked start button may stop accidental jobs while the dock's removable tanks remain physically accessible.
Follow the whole job, including the return
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Start | Correct day, local time, charge and selected rooms. |
| During cleaning | Open routes and suitable debris. |
| Finish | Successful return and expected dock activity. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not treat an app setting as a substitute for age-appropriate supervision.
