On my Gardena, it would be no chance. The “skirt” around it means you would need to lift it to get hurt, and any attempts to lift it triggers the emergency stop. I reckon that’s standard with most of them. The teeny tiny blades are also not really screwed down, so it doesn’t have much cutting potential, just enough for grass and weeds.
You’d leave your toddlers unattended if you know you have a mower running? Otherwise I don’t see any risk no. Most set them up to either run during the day when no one is home, or during the night…neither scenarios put fingers in harms way.
They can also clip adult fingers (not off, they’re not that powerful, just cut them) if you put your hands under it while it’s running FYI. So yeah I guess they do require the user to not be a complete idiot.
You don’t think it could get something like a toddler’s fingers?
