Light Switch Extender for Kids - 2 Pack

> 3 dayI used this to be able to still use the light switch after I built shelves over the switch. All you have to do is put a nail in the center of the arm so it can pivot on it. This is the only product Ive seen that does this since you can rotate the arm 90 degrees. Make sure you check the distance between the end of your shelf and the switch first, mine just barely fit

Greater than one weekInstalled light switch extender as normal;however, I turned the handle 90 degrees and drilled a small hole in it about 2.5 inches from the rotation axis. I then put a screw through the hole and into the wall to hold the handle at 90 degrees. The hole should be slightly larger than the screw. Now the light switch extender operates the light switch behind furniture/appliance like a seesaw. Works great. Maybe thus could help someone else?

> 3 dayThis handy device allows me to keep lights turned off in the grandkids’ bedroom and bathroom and them to reach the switch when they need to use those rooms. It was easy to install, is easy to use, but the plastic does seem a bit flimsy. I am not entirely sure how long they will last, but they will be useful for as long as they do!

> 3 dayWith the arrival of our second child we wanted to do whatever we could to get our 3yo as independent as possible. This lets our daughter turn on the bathroom lights without having to wait on Mom or Dad. It does exactly what we ask for. The only Con was the packaging. We only needed one. I would have been nice to buy just the one, but that wasnt the option. Not a huge deal, but kind of a waste.

Greater than one weekI ordered another product that Amazon recommended and that had a lot of reviews, but you had to screw in both screws and my light switch wouldnt fully correctly operate with that model. This only requires one screw. Its very sturdy despite thinking one screw wouldnt be enough. My son loves it, picked it up immediately, its sturdy, he hasnt even tried to pull it down, stays clean, looks minimal. I really love these. We have two sets and would probably have a third but hes getting tall enough to just reach the switches himself. Highly recommended!

Greater than one weekThis is a good budget friendly fix for anyone unable switches that are out of reach. I also have the kidswitch light switch extender which is the basis for my comparison. PROS: The handle is able to swing right or left along the wall, providing some flexibility. Very easy to install. The lighter plastic means that while it may flex a little, it will not remain deformed unless you really stress the handle. Price. Cons: It doesnt have a glow in the dark feature (it did not advertise it). The part that goes around the switch, with enough force, it actually will slip off the actual switch requiring you to easily pop back into place. This is a thinner, more flexibile plastic which may or may not be desirable for someone who may need the extra rigidity due to keeping their arms steady. The part at the bottom of the handle is a bit small for little hands to use. Overall: We have this switch in main rooms and the kidswitch in dark areas. For the cost this is a recommend for most all applications.
