Safety First - Outlet Covers

Is it time to baby-proof your home? Or maybe it's time to toddler-proof? Either way one of the most common ways to child-proof your home is with these outlet covers (pictured below). It is cheap and super easy to install. But not very attractive and is a pain to keep taking off and putting on whenever you need to plug something in. I found a much better solution. With having a licensed home daycare this is a must!


Here is my solution....


These covers are so easy to install! You just need a screw driver and less than five minutes to install it.

 
When something is unplugged from the outlet it quickly self-closes. This is my favorite part especially on outlets where our night lights are located. I'm also a fan of having them in the kitchen were electronics and appliances are plugged and unplugged several times a day.  So where can you find these covers and how much do they cost? I did a quick search online and found that Babies R' Us carries them in store or you can have them shipped to you. Here is a link to that one. It costs less than $4 for a 2 pk. Or I found several on Amazon. Click here to see what I found there. The one I found on there is less than $7 for a 2 pk. and shipping is less than $1. 

The plate covers cost a little bit more than the little plastic outlet covers but are more attractive and (in my opinion) less of a pain to plug and unplug.
