4.0 out of 5 stars Pluses and Minuses vs. Safety 1st Power Strip Cover, December 19, 2008

This review is from: Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover (Baby Product)

I bought this white cover (model 40896, UPC 3676840896, code on label X0000DM4BB) and Safety 1st Power Strip Cover to compare the two. Unlike that item, this cover is not expandable. Its dimensions are fixed at 14" length, 2-3/4" wide, and 3-1/4" high (except for the 4" at the power strip cord end which is only 1-3/4" high). The slot where the cords for the equipment come out is 1/2" wide and 7-5/8" long. When closed, the hole for the power strip cord is 1-1/8" by 1-1/2". There are no holes for wall mounting, but four outlet covers, two plastic cable ties, and ten cord identifier stickers are provided.

To open the 4" cover at the power strip cord end, you pull up on a single tab; this seems rather easy for a child to disengage, which means that he/she might have access to the outlet nearest the power strip cord end. To open the main cover, you pry open three tabs, then open the unit like a clamshell.

The plastic is softer but probably more resistant to breakage compared with the Safety 1st model. I like the fact that you can simply open the 4" cover to flick the power strip switch on and off. It is narrower and shorter than the Safety 1st model by about 3/4" in either direction, which may prevent using wider strips or transformers more than about 1-1/2" high with it.

Buy this from Amazon.com! (BTW, about the Amazon photo, the interior is actually white, I don't know what produced that egg-yolk-yellow color inside.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Small, April 2, 2008

By 

Linc's Mom (Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover (Baby Product)

I have several different types of power strips in my house, and this thing is too small for all except one of them. I bought two of these and I cannot use the second one now, and I don't know what to do about the 3 power strips in my house that will not fit. Also, you cannot have anything with a large plug, or it won't shut (for example, my iPhone plug won't fit). I wish it was just a little bit larger. It is hard to open, but I guess that's good. The picture with the product open is deceptive, there is no way a big AC converter plug would fit inside this thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product but beware of product dimensions, November 30, 2007

We use it all over our house. It actually makes our cords look very neat. But before you buy it, please beware of the dimensions of the product (see in product descriptions). It fits all our single-row surge protectors, and even a double-row extention cord with timer. it fits most of our plugs with transformer, EXCEPT some of the bigger ones. Unfortunately, the transformers for our router and DSL modem are too big to fit in, so we still have to find another solution for those...
