5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfect, October 10, 2008

This review is from: Safety 1st Power Strip Cover (Baby Product)

We have two power strip covers at our house--one by safety 1st and the other by Mommy's Helper. The Safety 1st cover far exceeds the quality and durability of the Mommy's Helper cover (whose buckles looked like they might break if opened too often.) I like the Safety 1st cover because it allows for adjustability in length and is very wide inside, as well as looking quite sturdy. There was plenty of width inside ours as well, so I'm no sure what other reviews were referring to. For extra safety, we covered the unused sockets on the strip with plugs...wish I had purchased this one first!

1.0 out of 5 stars It barely restricts access to the outlets!, March 23, 2010

This review is from: Safety 1st Power Strip Cover (Baby Product)

It's funny how many people have positively reviewed this. Yes, it's very convenient, easy to use, and fits well. What it doesn't actually do is effectively COVER the plugs! It's trivial for a small child to fit their entire hand in the rather large opening. In fact, I just plugged something in without having to remove the cover. If I can fit my hand in there, so can a child. And it doesn't even begin to protect against a child sticking a metal object in there. This product is, in a word, worthless.

I recommend getting one of the power strips that has sliding covers on each of the individual outlets, or simply placing standard child-proof covers on the outlets of your existing power strip. But please don't use this product and think you are adequately protecting your child from shocks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pluses and Minuses vs. Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover, December 19, 2008

This review is from: Safety 1st Power Strip Cover (Baby Product)

I bought this "neutral" color (off-white) cover (UPC 5218110409, model 10409A - I don't know how that differs from model 10409) and Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover to compare the two. Unlike that item, this cover is expandable from 9" to 13.5" in length. The roughly-cylindrical compartment is about 3.5" wide and 4" high. The slot where the cords for the equipment come out is 5/8"-1" wide and a maximum of 10-3/4" long. When closed, the hole for the power strip cord is 1-3/8" by 1/2". Holes are provided in the base for wall mounting, but no accessories are provided.

To open the thing, you press two tabs on the inner lower cover, then slide off the outer cover, then lift the inner top cover. Place the power strip into the inner lower cover, then replace the inner top cover, then slide the inner cover into the outer cover.

The plastic is stiffer compared with the Mommy's Helper model, but it also seems more brittle. I don't like the fact that there is no way to flick the power strip switch without half-disassembling the thing. It can hold a wider and higher strip and transformers than the Mommy's Helper model by about 3/4" in either direction, which is nice. Buy this from Amazon.com!
