Great product
This a great product. My curious toddler is unable to figure out these outlet covers which is great. Every other kind I tried were really obvious so he was frequently trying to play with them. He doesn't even notice these!

Very pleased
We love these -- Easy to install, easy to use and effective at keeping toddlers from jamming items into open sockets (though it still doesn't prevent plugs from being yanked out, so vigilance is still required).

It takes approximately 2 minutes to swap this in for an old outlet cover -- all it takes is a screwdriver, no special tools or experience needed (just take normal safety precautions).

These are better than the plastic plugs because it's still possible that your toddler can pry those off and perhaps choke on them.

The outlet cover slides back into place when nothing is plugged in.

Enjoy!

Genius!
We love these for so many reasons. We did a lot of research on what to get and they were recommended by Consumer Reports, and we see why. We don't have to worry about little plug covers that are choking hazards or get lost when you are using the plug. And if little one pulls a cord out of the outlet, these snap shut immediately and there is no danger. We also don't have to worry about forgetting to replace the plug covers. I read a review somewhere that they didn't come with screws, and I was thinking I would have to go to the hardware store to get screws, but ours came with screws and were just perfect. They are slightly smaller than the old covers which is unfortunate if you have to do some touch up, but overall they are fabulous! I'm going to have to look for some Decora ones for the few GFI outlets we have, but I've seen those online too.

Best Outlet Covers You Can Get!
I LOVE these covers. They look nice and are easy to use. If your toddler unplugs whatever is in there, they just snap back so the outlet is still covered. Super safe!!!!

These plates are very nice
I wish I had them for every plug. You do need to check your previous screws. I would give them 5 stars but the price is a bit high especially since they don't come with screws.

Infinitely safer & more convenient than outlet plugs!
We've had these in our home for a year & a half now and I am extremely satisfied with this product. I am in fact in the process of replacing the rest of my outlet-plugged rooms with these plates. Love them!

Great Cover
Best outlet cover for curious children and for the price. My 3 1/2 yr old son is very curious and still has not been able to figure out this product. With no holes to see he isn't tempted to try and stick something in it or pull out the old fashioned outlet cover.

Excellent, but check your screws
This products works exactly as expected. There is one potential problem. before you buy, make sure you unscrew your existing plate and measure the length of the screw. It should be at least 9/16", or else when you put on this plate the screw won't reach the threading. I found that some screws in my house were long enough and some too short, so I had to go to the hardware store and buy a set of extra screws to use these. Otherwise, the product is great.

These are awesome
This is my favorite outlet cover. I wish they were a little cheaper, but they can be used for a long time. The "Thermal Gasket", a foam ring installed behind the outlet cover, is a nice feature, not only are you making your house safer, but you are saving energy too.

They come in white including the screw; other brand/types seem to only come in a alabaster/ecru color. I used to be able to find similar horizontal plates at a local baby store, but now I am unable; this is a great place to order them.

They work well, DC adaptors fit in them, they seem reliable when opening and closing, and are not too obtrusive. The big advantage of this type of outlet cover is that you will not forget to plug back in the safety plug.

a really great mommy's helper!
I have a toddler and a baby and this product helped me a lot in keeping them away from playing with the sockets or trying to plug and unplug the plug covers that I used before.
Kids today are getting smarter and smarter, my 1-yr old already even knows how to take the plug covers off and he thought it was fun that he figured out how it worked, putting it back in and taking if off. Then I found out about this online and tried it, it was great! I wished I could have found out about this sooner than spending a lot of money on the plug covers. This product lasts longer and it can also serve as a plug protector as well.
Recommendable to all moms.
