    Disable the power button.

    Dunno how you'd turn it on though.

    Hmm. McGyver moment:
    Maybe make some sort of plastic cap over it. Like with those safetybuttons in jetfighters. -you know, for the missiles-

    If you are unable to do that, here is the ghetto method: take a cap from a bottle, some tape, and attach it to just above the button. Then your button can still easily be reached, but not by accident. -and at knee hight you will not see it anyway-
