Is there a way to child proof a baby wipes dispenser box?

My 20 months old gets into it and pulls all wet wipes out anytime she gets a chance. Is there a way to child proof it? It’s one of those warmers so it stays plugged in and it’s always on the changing table. And she learned how to climb on the changing table!
The reason I am using a warmer is because I also have a two month old!

I use this on my trash can, it might work on a wipe dispenser box as well. I think it came in a pack of 2 for $5 from walmart.

Can you move it somewhere else?
hide it!!
lol, my 19 m/o does the exact same thing! her crib and changing table are attached, and she climbs up on it!! so needless to say, she is now going to be in a toddler bed and the crib will be for the new baby
tape it with duct tape so that only you can untape it.
gosh i hope so my son gets into that things and the wipes go everywhere!!!!
move it~ she is almost two so she can deal with cool wipes if she can’t leave them alone~ no she is not to young to learn.
If you rigg it into a basket of sorts that has a lid that also has a latch on it, then you could put a small padlock (like for a diary). You could rigg it with a small hole in the back for the cord to go thru so you can still plug it in. And if you don’t want to use a padlock you can get one of those key chains that screw shut or one that has a snap hinge. Which ever you think that your smart little one could not work open easily. You might also want to keep it in the closet on the top shelf where it would be out of sight until you need it and you could use an extention cord to keep it pluged in, just keep the closet door shut.
I suggest not using the warmer anyways and just putting the regular box of wipes where she can’t access them. Usually wipe warmers are for little babies.
