I don't know much about equipment to answer that part of your question but I've found the best solution to the toddler is letting them use it supervised. My 3 year old helps me with playing vinyl and as a result she doesn't have that desire to play with the "off limits" stereo when I'm out of the room.
It still comes with the odd finger print, and when she was younger a few scratches from being heavy handed with the brush, but now it's pretty smooth sailing and I don't need to worry about it.
