> 3 dayI just got this today and installed them today so I cant speak to the durability, but I was very pleased as soon as I got them out of the box. I like the idea of the slide-over mechanism versus outlet plugs because even if your kiddo unplugs something, they cant try to plug it back in, or try to put something else (small, metal) in there. Obviously the same goes for someone that removes an outlet cover and forgets to put it back in (other kids, visitors that dont have small kiddos, etc.). I really like that they came with the foam backing (insulation), which I read (in another review) is supposed to help with drafts. I also appreciate that it came with longer screws as the covers themselves stick out a little from the wall and need that little extra length of the screw to be secure. (I read in 1 review that these are supposed to go over existing outlet covers; that isnt the case. You need to completely remove the current ones and put these on. I also read that they didnt come with longer screws - mine did.) The covers are tough to slide over using your finger, which is exactly what you want these to do. I came back to Amazon to order more tonight, but when I saw some of the negative reviews about things coming unplugged or things that working right because it couldnt get a solid connection, I decided to try these out for awhile since my son isnt crawling yet then come back and give an update. But so far they seem well-made and priced well. Yes, theyre a little more expensive than others, but you can tell they are well-made and its worth paying an extra $0.50-$0.75 to help keep my son safe.

> 3 dayProduct does wonders it looks so much nicer then traditional outlet covers and there is no prying to get it off or losing covers which become choke hazards or get stepped on. My son takes out a nightlight and it closes automatically keeping him from accessing the outlet and getting hurt. Took a star due to one small problem. Since installing my vacuum cord and other appliances doesnt stay in well it easily pulls out with the slightest pull. Feels like it prevents prongs from really clicking into outlet most likely due to the faceplate of product interfering with the depth of the prongs in outlet. I wish it either had a snugger fit to prevent this or we could have just sliding covers that went over the original outlet vs the outlet face that is in between the cord and actual outlet.

> 3 dayBought these covers to help deter my child from the outlets. Installation was a bit cumbersome as the foam has to be placed just right. I also had to adjust some of the outlet receptacles into the wall, but thats more of an installation issue than the product.

> 3 dayWe ended up ordering more after our first order because they were so great. My toddler would just take the safety plugs out that you normally see at the stores so replacing them with these was the best thing we have done because we no longer have to be running after her constantly worrying about her sticking her finger in the electrical socket. So easy to install and use! Theyre perfect and a necessity for any toddler parent!

> 3 dayWe love these outlet covers for use instead of outlet plugs for regularly used outlets. We use them for plugging in lights and other appliances and have them on all outlets we plug our vacuum into. It is a lot easier to use these than the safety outlet plugs. We dont have to remember to put the outlet plugs back in after vaccumming and for outlets we have lights plugged into we no longer have to worry if our toddler unplugs the lamp as we know he cant replug in the lamp and potentially electrocute himself. Highly recommend. We only bought enough of these to use on regular use outlets and use the safety plugs for all outlets we dont typically use.
