2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't always work, January 24, 2005

This review is from: Secure Grip Door Knob Covers (Baby Product)

We have a 2-year old who can open all doors with ease. We put on these covers to stop her from wandering outside without our knowledge and she promptly openned the door with the protective cover on it.

It does slow her down in opening the door, but she can still do it rather consistently.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works at our house!, June 9, 2005

This review is from: Secure Grip Door Knob Covers (Baby Product)

These knob covers worked well at our house, from when our kids were 1 1/2 til they were 4 and more. They are intended to fit loosely over your door knob, so the cover spins freely when a child touches it, and the knob doesn't turn. Your child should not be able to open the door until they are taller, and their hands are bigger, to be able to press buttons on opposite sides of the knob cover at the same time.

After the covers were over a year old, we replaced a few because the rubber on the inside was getting sticky and so the covers gripped too much, and the knob could be turned by a child tall enough to press down on the top.

When our kids were 4, the tallest one began to be able to open the doors with these covers on. But they got us through the most difficult years, when saying "no" isn't enough to stop the kids going to unsafe areas.

Our kids are now 5 years old (triplets), and we still have these knob covers on our doors to go outside. Those doors are stiff and heavy enough that the kids can't open them without help. And we are glad they can't leave the house without us knowing about it!

It's too bad these don't work for all kids, for all doors. But for the modest price, it's worth trying them. You might get a lot of peace of mind.
