 Clever little plug Feb 24, 2008
By Lisa and Naomi's mom
Some of the negative reviews turned me off to the product but I decided to buy them anyways because I couldn't find a sliding plate cover for my GFCI outlets and I didn't want our child to see us removing the easier outlet safety plugs on a regular basis.
I think this product must have been improved some because the ones I bought can only be pushed in on one side and they work exactly as per the instructions. Basically, pushing the left button unlocks the top button and pushing on the top button unlocks the latch from the ground hole. With the top button continually depressed, you need to patiently rock the plug up and down until it comes out. It's particularly frustrating if you're in a rush or otherwise tired because on the first pull or two there is very little noticeable progress. Personally I feel that the tight fit is a sign of a good design and most certain to frustrate even those toddlers with good coordination.
After a few weeks of regular use, my husband can now remove them with one hand in a single pull. The best part is it looks like he's just tugging on the plug so our little one is unlikely to catch onto the required button sequence.
Too bad they cost so much (relative to the plain plugs) or I'd consider using them everywhere since they are fairly low profile and thus inconspicuous.
The size and grip of the product might make it difficult for people with large hands or who lack coordination/strength in their fingers/hands.

Safety FIRST Jun 19, 2007
By RainyDay
I switched from the basic plastic covers to these when my son learned how to pull those out easily.
These require two hands and some wiggling back and forth to get out: they don't pull straight out.
There's no way my son (or any kid!) is going to get these out, and that's their purpose... To keep him safe. I'm willing to spend the extra 10 seconds and a little minor effort to pull them out to keep it that way.

 Just takes some getting used to... Jan 25, 2007
By R. Hammack
I've been using these for the past three years, and they work. Yes they are hard to remove, but isn't that the point? I have a very active son who never messes with the outlets because of these devices. I am buying more for our second baby. Execellent product.

 Adult-Proof Outlet Plugs Dec 14, 2006
By Sadie Putty
I wish I'd read the review below before I bought a packet & inserted (thank goodness only) one of these. He's right, they are impossible to get out of the outlet--I have been working on it till my fingers are sore and it won't come out. Don't buy!

Perfect! Jun 17, 2008
By Wix
No worrying about toddlers or even pre-schoolers figuring these out...very well made and they do their job.
To open them you have to depress the top button, then pull down towards the floor a bit and out. It takes a few minutes of practice and some finger strength for adults to get it right, but there is absolutely no sense in installing the 'other' outlet covers that can be ripped out of the wall then choked on by a baby is there? I've also had a few of those 'other' ones snap off inside the outlet, which really was a treat..should not happen with these plugs.
So if you want safety these are the plugs to get. Been using them for nearly 5 years now and never have my kids come even close to getting them removed. I personally was nearly electrocuted as a child, having stuck my parents car keys into a socket...trust me, it only takes a second for a life threatening incident to happen with your child. Why take chances???
Pick up a few extras for grandma's house too.
