Baby Products Reviews of Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover
Customer Review: Pluses and Minuses vs. Safety 1st Power Strip Cover
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this white cover (model 40896, UPC 3676840896, code on label X0000DM4BB) and Safety 1st Power Strip Cover to compare the two. Unlike that item, this cover is not expandable. Its dimensions are fixed at 14" length, 2-3/4" wide, and 3-1/4" high (except for the 4" at the power strip cord end which is only 1-3/4" high). The slot where the cords for the equipment come out is 1/2" wide and 7-5/8" long. When closed, the hole for the power strip cord is 1-1/8" by 1-1/2". There are no holes for wall mounting, but four outlet covers, two plastic cable ties, and ten cord identifier stickers are provided.
To open the 4" cover at the power strip cord end, you pull up on a single tab; this seems rather easy for a child to disengage, which means that he/she might have access to the outlet nearest the power strip cord end. To open the main cover, you pry open three tabs, then open the unit like a clamshell.
The plastic is softer but probably more resistant to breakage compared with the Safety 1st model. I like the fact that you can simply open the 4" cover to flick the power strip switch on and off. It is narrower and shorter than the Safety 1st model by about 3/4" in either direction, which may prevent using wider strips or transformers more than about 1-1/2" high with it.
Buy this from Amazon.com! (BTW, about the Amazon photo, the interior is actually white, I don't know what produced that egg-yolk-yellow color inside.)
