To any parents using this brand of outlet cover: They suck. Safety 1st apparently does not test their products with real babies, because my nine month old bested their plug protector with ease. Turns out, she’s not gifted or special. There is another video on YouTube of a baby crawling across the floor and easily pulling this plug from the outlet.
Do not buy plug protector / outlet covers from Safety 1st. Needless to say, we are replacing ours. Now here is the entertaining video:
And here is the other baby I mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OXe-uQZA-E&NR=1

Thank you, I’m glad to hear that someones thinks the same thing! I just purchased these thinking this will keep my 8 month old safe, but she has discovered them on the wall and she now thinks it is the coolest thing to play with. she pulls them out with no trouble at all! I’m so mad that they would sell a product like this, you would think that they would test their products. Well I’m glad I came across this because I thought maybe it was me that was doing something wrong, surely they wouldn’t sell a product for the safety of babies that doesn’t even work, but they do! CRAZY!
