do you see anything wrong with putting one of those knob covers on the door so she can't open it in the middle of the night? i honestly think it is riskier to give her free reign of the house than it is to have her unable to leave her room. we have a smoke detector in her room. her room is adjacent to ours so we would get to it within a couple of seconds of the alarm going off.
That's what we use, actually. My 3-year old's door is right next to some stairs, so I'm worried he'd walk out, not pay attention, take a left, and fall down the stairs. We are also adjacent to his room and have the smoke detectors right there, so I don't really think it's much of an issue. My son's a notoriously heavy sleeper too (8p-8a with a 2.5 hour nap in the afternoon, errry day), so I don't think he'd realize there was a fire before we could get to him anyway.
jelly? yeah i'm jelly.

We put those on when he was 2 1/2, he figured them out in about 2 days. He will be 3 this weekend, and he can open those doors faster than I can. He jumps, grabs with both hands and squeezes, and then his body weight twists the knob around as he comes down and opens the door.
