Yeah, we had a different stove when our kids were small, and it had the knobs at the back of it.

I think some newer stoves will automatically shut off after a certain amount of time when the gas is on but no flame is detected.

You push the knob in and turn it. The guard goes around the knob, but doesn’t stop it from turning.

And if you need guards for your knobs, I designed some after bumping mine and turning on the gas more than once.
