This review is from: Safety 1st Outlet Cover with Cord Shortener (Baby Product)

I ordered these outlet covers after my 17-month-old son unplugged my laptop, the cordless phone base, his baby monitor, the wipes warmer, the lamps, my alarm clock, the DVD player, the Tivo, and the Bose sound dock about 12,448 times. A person can only say "NO" so many times in a day, before he shuts off his hearing & defiantly does what he wants anyway. Kinda like his father. Oh, the joys of parenting.

Anyway, these covers work great. They're a cinch to install, even for a tool-challenged person such as myself. And there's no way he can pry the covers off. *I* sometimes have a hard time simultaneously pushing both buttons and pulling the removable piece off.

I think it's been mentioned previously, but they won't work with the decora-style rectangle outlets. Mine are the old style, with a single screw in the middle of the two plugs, and they fit perfectly. Just be aware that the picture shows them as being white; but the ones I received are actually more of a sand color. It didn't bother me at all; but if you're fussy about your light switch plates matching your outlet covers, these may drive you crazy.

3.0 out of 5 stars won't work with some outlets, November 10, 2007

I agree with the other reviewer that these are a great idea. Unfortunately, almost every outlet in our house has the Leviton-brand square cutouts. These aren't usable with those style (like this Do it Best Grounding Decora Outlet ) recepticles.

4.0 out of 5 stars very effective, February 19, 2008

I used this product to cover the plug for my daughter's monitor. Since installing (easy to do) she actually has not gone near any outlets. The only down side is that the cover only allows one small brick plug rather than being able to utilize both outlets.
