A member asked:
How far should a humidifier be from sleeping toddler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Out of reach: The distance is not as important as the ability for the toddler to reach the device. If it is out of his reach and he cannot get out of bed and get to it, it should be ok. You want the humidifier to moisturize the air nearby but that will occur any where in a room that is about 12/12ft.
