 Stove Knob Covers Not Heat Resistant!!! Sep 17, 2005
By SwanLovesJoe
"Swan"
-As soon as we installed the covers, the first thing my husband and I noticed was how difficult they were to open for cooking. The plastic tabs you need to push on to open the covers do not give.
-The covers come apart very easily at the hinge and fall off, exposing the stove knobs.
-The covers are not heat resistant. That doesn't make sense to me since they are meant to be used on stoves. If you leave the oven door open for just a few minutes, or if your oven has vents under the knobs, the covers melt and warp right away.
-The worst part was, my 9 month old daughter was easily able to pull the covers (with knobs) off completely.
-Since I originally wrote this review on April 23, 2005, this product apparently now has adhesive backing to mount the product onto the stove. This may have fixed the problem I had with my daughter being able to pull the knob covers off.
-Otherwise the product is exactly the same as it was. I still would not waste my money on this product for my new baby.
-Since my last review of this product on April 23, 2005 there is also finally a "Safety Information Warning and Caution" statement on the product description page addressing some of these issues now. Well it's about time!

Great idea..I wish the product had been.... Jul 06, 2006
By Babies0205
What a pain! My daughter could open them no problem, luckily because it was so easy she wasn't interested in it. You have to take them off to use the broiler. Like another reviewer said, it's easier just to remove your knobs...don't waste your money.

Don't bother!!!! Sep 16, 2005
By G. Zielinski
These covers are a total waste. The clear plastic lids fall right off and are a constant struggle. It is less hassle to just take the knobs right off the stove.

 Toughen Up! Feb 24, 2007
By Jessica Powell

Good lord, that last review is ridiculous. If you have a gas stove and a curious young child, you need these, period. Granted, they are made of brittle plastic, and they take a while to soften and "give" when you try to open them, but they will eventually loosen up to a comfortable, functional amount of pressure. If they came open easily enough for the other reviewer's sensitive fingers, they wouldn't work properly!!
We had these on our gas stove for the last year and it was amazing how quickly I got used to them. One drawback is that if you are cooking something on a burner and have the lock open and the clear lid is hanging open and down, and you open the oven, they will snap right off if you forget they're there and let the oven door hit them as you close it. I've done that a few times, but you just need to be more centered while cooking to avoid this mistake.

DON'T BUY THESE KNOB COVERS!!! Jan 29, 2008
By Teddy Lawrence
We thought that these were the same Safety 1st knob covers that we had purchased two years ago. Those were larger, and were very easy to open with one hand, using minimal force. These are much smaller, barely cover our knobs, and are nearly impossible to open with one hand. One of us CANNOT open them without pulling the knob off of the stove, the other needs to stop cooking and concentrate on the proper amount of force to apply in order to open them.
Overall, these knob covers are very good at covering knobs, and preventing little fingers from turning them, but they are not very good at letting you use the knob in a manner that will permit cooking.
Take a little more time and look for the larger, easier to open Safety 1st knob covers (with a thumb-sized push-pad).
