Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover

We've had this power strip cover for about a month now. So far we've been really happy with it. It has kept my 1 year old from playing with the power strip. It's less intriguing to him now that he can't see the lighted switch to turn it off and on.

I have several different types of power strips in my house, and this thing is too small for all except one of them. I bought two of these and I cannot use the second one now, and I don't know what to do about the 3 power strips in my house that will not fit. Also, you cannot have anything with a large plug, or it won't shut (for example, my iPhone plug won't fit). I wish it was just a little bit larger. It is hard to open, but I guess that's good. The picture with the product open is deceptive, there is no way a big AC converter plus would fit inside this thing.

I am so glad someone came up with something like this. The only thing I didn't realize is it's only big enough for the long skinny power strips. I didn't realize it until I was about to use it. No big deal though, just had to change my power strip to a long skinny one.

We use it all over our house. It actually makes our cords look very neat. But before you buy it, please beware of the dimensions of the product (see in product descriptions). It fits all our single-row surge protectors, and even a double-row extention cord with timer. it fits most of our plugs with transformer, EXCEPT some of the bigger ones. Unfortunately, the transformers for our router and DSL modem are too big to fit in, so we still have to find another solution for those...

For a piece of plastic, it does a good job. It is hard to open (that's the point) but the power on and off switch is easily accesible, which seems a good safety precaution. It comes with three little outlet covers, and a couple of useful plastic ties for the cords. the only problem i have with it so far, is the surge protector i am using is too small, and the first plug is exposed in the on/off switch compartment that is easy to open. it is still better than nothing, but like with all kids safety products, parents are never replaced.
