Sorry but kids/toddlers love band-aid. They fake injury just to get a new one. Not sure, but I think and outlet cover designed to look like a band-aid will draw them to it and encourage them to fiddle with it.

I agree with SAYS: this pretty much begs a kid to look at and play with the outlet. The best outlets covers are integrated into the outlet. I don't know what they are called, but they seemed ubiquitous in Germany: one has to push and rotate the prongs in order for the prongs to sink into the outlet.

Agreed with asprygal, anyone I know who ever childproofed outlets can tell you the plug in ones (especially like these that look cute!) just beg to be pulled out by little hands. Only ones I've seen work are integrated into the outlet. In fact, I can't figure some of them out!

Any outlet cover we have tried to use is a direct invitation for my son. I can only imagine that these would make the problem ten times worse.
We took off the white and clear outlet covers we had and he hasn't bothered with them since.

This is ugly and would just attract my child. We installed outlets that look normal but are covertly child-resistant. You have to put a plug in for it to work. In other words, if a kid stuck a screwdriver in one side, there wouldn't be any electricity. Pricey but we've been happy with them.

Perhaps if the entire receptacle isn't used you can just put a wall plate cover on it?

I have to agree that these would totally just attract most children. RAVISHING, if there ever comes a time when you need to use them again, i would recommend these. I swear *I* need pliers to get them off.

I agree with nearly everyone here. These would be more of an attraction to little fingers than if nothing was there. If you really worry about kids sticking their fingers (or worse) in the slots then switch them out for the sliding outlet covers that are built right and no child could push over to slide in your plug.

I think they are cute and the longer design makes me think they would be harder to remove??? I would have given these a try with my punks and perhaps they would be a cute baby shower gift too.

We removed our covers and replaced them for things like, sewing machine, hair dryer, fans and other momentarily use electronics. A wall plate would not have been functional.

It makes me wonder if the designer of this item has kids.

We replaced all of our outlet plates with the kind with the built in, automatic closing covers. http://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Helper-Electrical-Outlet-Standard/dp/B00081J3OU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1340740346&sr=8-3&keywords=outlet+covers

They work perfectly, don't draw undo attention to themselves and you don't have to worry about someone forgetting to put the cover back on after they're done or worry about the baby unplugging the lamp and then trying to plug it back in again.

I am still in favor of the safety plugs! We arrived first at my parents house and I sent my hubby to the dollar store. We "baby proofed" the house for all the four kids under four yrs old. I doubt my mom would have liked the idea of installing different outlets as she was offended that we put the plug covers in!

woopsie! i meant arrived first for the holidays stay!
