Make Sure Baby Safety Products Are Really Safe
The Risk: Outlet covers help prevent your child from getting electrocuted, but small plastic plug-in models can pose a deadly choking hazard. Even if the caps seem to fit snugly, they tend to loosen with use.
Safe Strategy: Get covers that screw into the wall and slide shut when outlets aren't in use, or block unused outlets with furniture. The Home Safety Council recommends that if you use plug-in covers, you should look for ones that are too big to fit through a toilet-paper tube, or choose devices that you must twist or squeeze to remove.

I agree with anonymous 100%...back in the day they didnt have all the crazy gadgets to keep your kids safe, they actually watched their kids....we've got no problems with the outlets, and none are covered, just made sure that once my daughter started walkin I explained to her the dangers, and dont let her out of my sight (washing dishes without taking your eye off of your kid is a talent only a mother can have hahahaha)

4/2/2012 11:55:14 AM Report AbuseMy list includes... watch your kid. My mom never had a problem with us putting things in outlets and neither do I. I'm not rewiring my house to the tune of how much money when I can watch my kid for free.
