Context

Our toddler has been sleeping in our room until now but has always slept in his own bed. We want to transition him to sleeping in his own room however winter is coming and we are concerned the room will be too cold (5° - 9°C / 41 - 48°F). 🥶

Our home does not have central heating. We want to heat the room safely using a floor-standing electric heater. We need it to be virtually zero risk of fire (even though we have smoke alarms) or burning the child if they touch it.

We've searched online and in stores but not found anything suitable.

Question

What type of (reasonably) child-safe heater are other parents using?

(Not asking for a specific product recommendation, just general guidance from more experienced people)
