child lock

Parental control feature

A child lock is a safety mechanism that prevents children from opening doors, cabinets, or containers, or from operating appliances and devices.

Car child locks disable rear door handles from the inside.

On electronics, a child lock restricts access to certain functions or content: Enable the child lock so the kids can't change channels.
