That's the one we've got, the same colour even 😆 When I bought it I didn't think it'd be so difficult for her to use because I didn't think at all about the child proof aspect of it. At this point I think we're due for a whole new stove but my ex MIL/landlady says that you're not allowed to get a gas one to replace it and it'd have to be electric.

Oh damn, those ones are childproof now? The one I have is much more cheaply made and is a simple trigger, I’ll have to try and remember where I got it.
