> 3 dayI would like them to be slightly bigger but they cover nicely anyway. They are as big as the ones I took off. They are very easy to install. I did 18 of them in less than 15 minutes. Its nice not to have to call an electrician to do the hardwired kind to childproof our house for our granddaughter. More colors would also be a good thing. Ive ordered 18 more.

> 3 dayPurchased these for a friend, who was having problems with her son sticking his fingers in outlets. She was really excited to get these to use. They came as described and quickly.

> 3 dayMy grandson, who is 2-1/2, has not discovered how to plug something into these outlet covers. And, if he pulls a cord out, the outlet automatically closes and prevents him from replugging the cord. I bought a bunch for my own house.

> 3 dayThese covers are great! Very easy to install. We got them up just in time. Our little one has just figured out how to pull plugs out of the sockets. With these, when he does that we dont need to worry because the cover automatically slides into place. I tried some of those covers that cover the plug to prevent him from pulling it out but those are hard to install and even harder to remove when we need to unplug anything. We also had a bunch of the single plug covers, but if those ever come out, they are immediately a choking hazard. These auto close covers are so much easier and more secure than anything weve tried. Highly recommend these covers!

> 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 dayi actually bought this to block an ant path into the kitchen. It sealed tight enough to stop the tiny little ants from getting through.

> 3 dayThis product is horrible, yes it covers the outlet like it should but then you literally cant plug anything into the outlet. It makes the plug so loose that anytime you plug anything in within 2 seconds its popped out and on the floor not charging. Id rather have the annoying old fashion plastic baby outlet covers that are impossible to get off then this because once those are off atleast you have a usable outlet!

Greater than one weekWe love these! Only flaw is that on some outlets, they stick out too much for you to plug something in. If you dont have a super old house like ours, youll be great!

> 3 dayThough these outlet covers arent as wide as my orginal covers, they are much better than the plastic individual covers. Some large cords have a hard time staying plugged in the outlets, but its worth it not to have my child electrocuted.
