Safety 1st Outlet Cover

I thought that these might be a pretty good idea for the outlets in the nursery that need to have things plugged into them. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to work very well at all. I found that unless you tighten the plate down really hard, there is a gap between the plate and the wall that concerned me. When I did tighten it up, it had the problem that the plugs would stick open, rendering the plate entirely useless. Additionally, several of the plugs that I tried didn’t seat firmly, which means that there were exposed prongs. These are gone now and I've put in outlet plates that have a spring-slide cover. They don't seem like they need as much work to open, but at least they work.


If you don't make sure these are tightened well enough, they gap at the back.They also don't fit the plugs very well (I see exposed metal)Also, if they're tightened well enough to seal the back, the springs don't close right.
