Are Instant Hot Water Heaters Really Instant?

I’ve been looking at instant hot water heaters for my kitchen. The idea of always having hot water available when I need it, instead of having to run the water for 30 seconds or more until it heats up, sounds inviting. I’m wondering though – are these instant hot water dispensers really instant? Or do they still take a little bit of time to heat up? I’m also a little concerned that having hot water always available might not be the wisest idea with kids in the house. Can these things be locked somehow, so curious little hands can’t turn them on? At least if they turn the hot water tap on, there’s usually enough time to get them out of harm’s way before the heat builds.
