Mommy's Helper Safe Plate Self Closing Electrical Outlet Covers, Baby Proofing Safety Wall Socket Plate, Automatic Sliding Cap Cover Standard Wall Outlet Cover, White

I have a 1 year old grandson that gets into everything. Feel he is so much safer with these childproof outlet covers. Gives me relief when I know he is safe. So worth it! They were easy to install.

I like these Face Plates, the plastic is durable and will last. They were very easy to install and the "screw issue" others have experienced has been resolved. I received screws along with the order and they fit perfectly. I don't mind the price, I have seen others that were cheaper but they were not a durable. So you get what you pay for in this product.The company is green and send with minimal packaging which I like. They will change packaging if sending item as a gift just contact them with your request, nice touch.The only issue is my 2yr old figured out how they work as soon as I installed them!Even so I am keeping these Face Plates, they are nice to look at and they will present a challenge for my son to stick anything in the socket even if he knows how they work. So,order with confidence, you'll receive a great product and a company that stands behind it. That is well worth the price for me.

Love this product - good price, easy to install, and works well. I've only had one intermittent problem with the product, which I describe in the update at the end of this review.This product was easy to install and came with the hardware needed to do so - namely, a longer center screw. Two nice touches: 1) the screw head is painted white so that it blends in with the cover, and 2) the cover comes with a thermal gasket to insulate the wall opening around the socket and hopefully save you energy/money. (Note: if you buy the bulk pack of these, you only get 5 thermal gaskets for the 25 covers. But if you buy the single outlet cover, which is what this review covers, every cover comes with a thermal gasket.) All you need to install your outlet covers is a flat-head screwdriver. One reviewer mentioned having to go to the hardware store to get a longer center screw. Not sure if Mommys Helper has started including a longer screw in response to customer complaints, if this reviewer just didn't notice the included screw, or he got a defective cover. In any case, all of mine came with the necessary hardware.The product also seems sturdy and to work very well. When the center screw is tightened, it fits firmly against the wall, just like the original outlet cover. The sliding covers snap back very smoothly and quickly when you unplug something. My baby hasn't yet shown an interest in electric outlets, but as well as these covers seem to be designed, I don't see how he'd be able to get to the socket with these covers installed. (I'll update this review as he gets older if he figures out how to circumvent the sliding covers, but I'd be surprised if he did.)Note: this particular version of the product works only for outlets with one center screw, so if you have a different style outlet, you'll need a different baby-proofing solution for your outlets.UPDATE, January 2012: I've discovered one problem with these outlet covers, and it has caused me to dock one star from my initial rating. Namely, sometimes when I plug a really heavy plug - or more often, a plug with a long heavy cord attached to it - into outlets fitted with these covers, the plugs have a hard time keeping contact with the socket. For example, when I use my carpet shampooer, which has a fairly heavy plug and cord, the power supply to the shampooer will sometimes waver, causing the shampooer to flicker on and off, even though the plug looks like it's seated properly in the outlet. Normally, just pressing the plug more firmly into the outlet fixes the problem, but occasionally it does not, and then it's maddening to try to shampoo! I only have this problem with a couple of outlets in the house, and I can't figure out what makes these outlets different, so I basically just try to avoid using them when I'm running the shampooer.

These are really nice to have because the other outlet protectors you have to remember to put back into the outlet after you are done, which seems easy enough but believe it or not sometimes it is easy to forget when you are in a hurry. these slide outlets are stiff and hard to move for children. I don't have to worry about plugging something back in. For some reason my 1 year old does not seems as attracted to this outlet vs the one that has the plugin safety. The other one seems more attractive to pick out. Great purchase and looks nice in the house as well. I also do not have to worry about someone else in the house forgetting to put the other safety plug back in. These are simple and safe. I am happy with the purchase. They are easy to switch out as well.

I tried a bunch and apparently all the rest are knock offs - only this brand seems to work. More expensive but worth the price since it actually works. Buy a bulk pack for cheaper option

So these covers work great -- my intrepid toddler can't get them to budge, and has ignored all of the outlets since she discovered that it's futile to try. That being said, we can't plug in anything to the outlets that are covered with these plates, because the plugs won't stay in place (the little cover that makes sure baby is safe also makes sure that the plugs move a wee bit out of the socket, so nothing works). That being said, it definitely does its job of making outlets babysafe. They're also parent-and-grandparent-safe too!

This product is easy to use and has proven to be effective for the last four years. The color is a nice clean white, which seems to brighten up the room, opposed to some others I've seen that are an off white. Seriously no complaints. Maybe just that they will scratch if you are really rough with them when plugging something in. I have them all over my house. They are so much better than the plastic things you put in outlets to keep babies out. The house we bought needed to have the whole outlet box replaced because of paint showing, but these outlet covers went over the entire thing, making it look nice and new.

All way too small for my outlets. Past the return window so I'm super bummed I now have dozens of these.
