There have been threads here before regarding cutting a section of welder's blanket and velcroing it inside the door sill. Roll it out to cover the pipe when getting in or out. To protect your grand children you could use that instead of or in addition to heat shields. I think you can put bare skin against a welder's blanket over a hot pipe without burning or even feeling much heat. Of course, the downside is that you have to remember to unfurl the thing...

Regards,

Kevin
