Does not fit
May 4, 2022
Does not fit a cord for a power strip. Would only fit a very thin cord that does not require grounding.

These didn't fit on our plugs but my husband drilled a hole or two and we made it work with that adjustment.

Easy to install
June 28, 2021
The concept is great for toddlers who may have figured out how to get your plug covers out, but it's honestly a pain to have to open. If it's an outlet you don't plan on having to use often or in a child's room, it's perfect.

Hard to open
June 27, 2021
These do the job but are very difficult to open. They are also bulkier than I expected them to be. They keep the cords put away which is what they were supposed to do so they do the job.

Don't like it
June 27, 2021
This product is bulky and not attractive. It sticks out and can't really be hidden behind furniture. Obviously my child's safety is the most important thing but there has to be a better looking way to protect them from cords and outlets.

Perfect timing!
June 27, 2021
My youngest son is 15 months & i call him my tornado lol. His most recent site of destruction is cords & outlets. So this was right on time! This stopped him from yanking any charging cables out or devices/appliances that were plugged in. I'm hoping this cover would come in a different shape like a box so it wouldn't stick out so much or to be a better fit for certain furniture. It would also be great if it could fit different sized charging ports.

Creative Product for a common problem!
June 27, 2021
I wasn't sure at first if I would like this product because it seemed a little bulky and awkward to use. But honestly, I had nothing to lose by giving it a try and I ended up really liking it. It kept an east to access outlet inaccessible by my child as well as helped limit the available cord for my child to tug on and potentially harm himself with a toppling lamp. My cousin-in-law is currently expecting and I have already recommended these to her as she also has animals in her home and could benefit from being able to shorten some of her electrical cords in addition to keeping her new baby away from outlets.

Peace of mind
June 27, 2021
I wish I had these with my first kid. How great to be able to pop off the cover, plug in a device, close the cover, and know that tiny fingers aren't going to be playing with and active cord or outlet. I love the peace of mind I feel in knowing my baby is safe from outlets, while still being able to utilize power sources. Highly recommended

Safety 1st Outlet Cover & Cord Shortener Is So Helpful!
June 24, 2021
Safety 1st Outlet Cover & Cord Shortener has been a lifesaver when my toddler can pull out the typical outlet plugs.

Wonderful Product!
June 24, 2021
I was so excited to test out this product. Our toddler seems to have a fascination with the outlets so we've had to find ways to cover them. We've used those little clear plugs that go in the outlet but our toddler has figured out how to pull those out. These outlet covers are an excellent alternative. They are really easy to install. If you can change an outlet cover, you can easily install these. They are a little hard to open at first but once you get the hang of it, they are quite easy to use. My only problem with them is that they do stick out from the wall quite a bit so if you need to put them partially behind furniture or in a walkway, they could be cumbersome. Otherwise, this is a great option for babyproofing your home!

Good but not Great
June 23, 2021
I wanted to love this product but sadly it feel slightly short for what I had expected. It has to be used with shorter cords and since my son is naturally curious as soon as we installed them he tried to rip them off. Or actually made it his mission.

Awesome childproof covers
June 18, 2021
So these outlets covers are very easy to install. I bit difficult to open but i think thats the point. They have a place to wind the extra cord to. My toddler is curious about it because it sticks out from the wall but cant mess with the cord/plugs

Works Great

These are great for regular size cords, but we have quite a few cords that are longer and take up more space around the outlet, and these won't fit over them.

Keeps your kids safe
June 13, 2021
This is ideal for any parent who has a toddler like myself that likes to play with cords or try to plug things into the walls. By using my toddler isn't able to get into cords or plug ins anymore which gives me peace of mind. This product is better than the average things that just pop into the wall because my toddler has learned to he can pull those out an with these he isn't able to do so at 2 years old. I really liked how easy to install these wear an that it comes with a cord shortener to wrap the cord around on the inside which makes it better to keep my toddler safe. I'm not mechanically friendly as a single mom so this was hassle free an easy to use quickly which is a must. It also came with a set of these instead of just one so you can use all over the house or for one room! My new favorite mom hack to keep my toddler safe.

What in the....
June 13, 2021
I am sorry, not sorry. I dislike this 100%. My toddler throws them around as toys, because like come on., they're BIG, bulky, and totally unnecessary. There are some out there by the same brand, much thinner and smaller.

A Must Have
June 13, 2021
I have a toddler that is too smart for his own good. He has attempted to unplug our lamp so that he could plug it back in. These covers not only stop that from happening, but also keep excess cords hidden out of sight. I will be installing them on every outlet me little guy can get to. The installation was super easy. These are definitely a must have for anyone with Little kids.

Work well
June 10, 2021
These work quite well for keeping things plugged in if you have a toddler that likes to unplug things. I wouldn't install these on all of my outlets, just because they can be tricky to open, but they are great to use on outlets where I want things to stay plugged in (like for the baby monitor in the bedroom my son likes to unplug!). My 2 year old can't get them open or unplug things once the cover is on.

Excellent idea
June 9, 2021
Love this idea and love the added protection it provides with my curious toddler. I do think there's room for improvement; I have some smart switches and those don't fit into these, but most basic outlet cables should and should keep the little ones nice and out, and safe from live electricity!

Just ok
June 9, 2021
This is a good item . I love it has a safety button. The only problem I have is how bulky it is. It's extremely big and I feel like it's so big it actually draws more attention to the outlet itself.

Nice for little curious hands 🧐
June 8, 2021
I like this product. It's especially great for curious little hands and really any toddler or young child that likes to play with cords. The only con I would have to say, is that it's not the easiest to install.

Definitely Childproof
June 8, 2021
These are fantastic for little ones who are very curious. We previously had the simple plug-ins but my toddler figured out how to pull them out. These he couldn't figure out at all. The con is, neither could I. I have semi-long nails and couldn't grasp them. My husband had no problem so it's probably user error.I rather keep my little safe.

Really useful and makes the playroom safe.
June 8, 2021
We recently moved to a new house and we have lots of power outlets in my kids' playroom. This Safety 1st Outlet cover was really useful in making my kid's playroom safe. It does need to be installed but my husband was able to Install it easy with the help of the basic tools (screwdriver) that we have at home. It is very easy to operate for us adults but difficult for the babies (to open the outlet cover). I would definitely be buying it for the rest of the house and would also recommend it to my family and friends.

Never thought of using something like this
June 7, 2021
Never thought that something like this exists but now that we got it, I totally get the use. Especially if you like to leave your chargers plugged in, this is super useful. My twins love playing with wires and I'm always afraid they will do something with them, something worse than lose them. This is difficult to open as well so I don't see how they will ever figure it out

Not for Decora style outlets.

Works great if you have old style outlets but doesn't work with Decora or GFCI style. An update would be nice.

Needs to be bigger
December 5, 2019
I am on the fence about this, it works great for generic two prong plugs. It is to small to sit flat on the outlet and will not allow the box plug on our baby monitor or router to plug in without the top attached. It is also to small for the three pronged basic tv plug. I wish it was flatter and the top was wider.

Baby proofing must-have
August 8, 2017
These are super easy and convenient way to hide dangerous cords from little exploring hands. My only con would be that they are more offwhite/cream colored then I had expected.
Pros
  • Easy to install
Best Uses
  • Baby-proofing
Cons
  • Color is a bit more cream-colored than the packing would suggest

Only works on standard outlets with thin cord
July 4, 2017
Most of the cords in my nursery are box plug, not the small two prong outlets. This allows a box plug to be plugged into the top outlet but of course then it covers the bottom outlet. Also, a thicker cord (like the one on my child-safe electric heater) doesn't fit in the slot to come out from the case.

My 3 year old was unplugging and trying to plug back in, he is my Hudini child. I have gotten numerous child locks and guards. This one was most useful!!
