My boy turned 1 recently and he's fascinated with anything mechanical (wheels, hinges, containers, keys, doors, etc). My online searches have come up with older kids' toys like electronics and other things a bit beyond the comprehension of a baby. Thanks for your help!

What's your policy on toys in kids' bedrooms?
Just Me
Right now my 4 year old daughter and 10 year old son share a (very small) bedroom. Needless to say it's always a mess, there's too much junk and not enough storage for it all. Most of it's my daughter's, all my son really plays with anymore is Lego's and toy cars.
We are moving to where all 3 children will have their own rooms. My son is only 5 months old so it's not an issue yet but will be before we know it. Anyways, we won't have an actual toy room but there will be a corner in the living room where we will keep some toys. I'd like for my daughter to have toys in her room as well but it always seems to keep her up at night. (This isn't an issue for the 10 year old.) How can I keep some toys in her room to play with during the day but it not be a problem at night?
Do they make toy boxes with a master lock? LOL

I also have 3 kids and they have their toys in their bedrooms. It wasn't always that way though. When we had our first child, we lived in a split level and his bedroom was upstairs, so we opted to keep his toys in the family room so he wouldn't be tempted to climb the stairs and risk falling to get to play with his toys. Besides, it was just one kid, so not many toys. We had 2 more kids, and outgrew our home to the point where we had almost all the toys in the family room simply because we didn't have space in the kids' rooms for them. We have moved and our boys still share a room, but it's much bigger and they've been ordered to keep all toys in their room. They can play with them in any room of the house, but they must get put back in their room when they are done. Toys in common areas just gets too messy. It got to the point where we were picking up and cleaning the living room several times a day just so we could walk! My daughter has her own room now and she absolutely LOVES playing in her room. She's 22 months old and playing with her toys at night was an issue at first, but we were very consistent in going in her room, taking the toys from her, and telling her it was bedtime, not playtime, and about a week later, she stopped playing with them and went to sleep. Kids need consistency, and as long as you stay at it, you'll break her of that habit before you know it.
