As the mother of a almost 17 month old boy, whose current obsession is poking things with sticks, I am always focused on the position and safety of all outlets in a room. In our house we have an old electrical system with horrible electrical outlets that we are slowly replacing. In the past we have used the traditional plug covers that are very difficult to remove even for an adult. The Socket-Lockits™ that I received were easy to install in every outlet I tried.
There is a warning on the packaging that warns of there lowered efficacy in old or damaged outlets, and that is sadly true. They work very well on a new outlet, safe, with no finger nail breaking. On old outlets, the Socket-Lockits™ either pop right out or get stuck. I do think they could be a good solution when we upgrade the house. They are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, the ones we received happened to match the living room paint very well. My concern is that making them so bright will make them attractive to children. They are not so difficult to remove that a curious child could not figure it out if unsupervised. I looked on the website and did not see any clear or boring options. Overall a good mid ground in outlet safety in a newer home and with a transparent option.

Ruthie was so entertained by eebee’s Peek-a-Boo Adventures, she couldn’t wait to try out eebee’s Have a Ball! Adventures, but her twin brother Warren was reading it. The soft books are cute and cuddly and Ruthie and Warren both liked them. If you have a baby, they might like them too.
