Child Lock

How do I child lock my Iphone.
I've tried password lock, but this is almost worse than no lock because it exposes a button called 'Emergency Phone Call', so our 2 yr old son ends up dialling emergency calls.

3GS, iPhone OS 3.1.3

Graham, it sounds like you have never had a climbing toddler before.
He can literally get to every recharging point in the house, and we like to let the older children occasionally have access to the phone in which case the younger one eventually gets it somehow.

Such an easy problem to solve with a multitouch unlock, or an option to disable the emergency phone button

At least Nokia have Function * which too hard for toddlers.

But I want my 2 years old to play with phone.
There are some good learning apps for her.

Problem is when she deletes apps, shuffles icons or sometimes sent emailed a photo.
Other big issue is because many of apps are integrated), When you tap on a photo or a video, it shows options to email, if you says yes, it's integrated with address book, so if I type 'a' all names starting with a will be visible as options. just tap one of them and boom, email goes out with that photo or video.

There should be options like different profiles(similar to different user on computer), That will solve problem.

The iPhone is not meant as a toy for a 2 year old.
