Baby Products Reviews of Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover
Customer Review: awesome
Summary: 4 Stars
a little too long for our surge protector, and a little too narrow to fit large plugs(they still fit, it just seems like I might be damaging the cord! My son was loving the red button that turns the whole thing off, so its great that we could get the surge protector off of the computer table, and back on the floor, but another issue we face is how to keep him from unplugging the surge protector - but thats not as bad as that bright red button that just called him to touch it LOL! This cover is very difficult to open(a good thing) not only are the latches strong, but there are more than one latch, if you're not paying attention, one latch can close while you are trying to wrench open the second latch. Ours is brand new though, don't know how its going to stand up to being opened and closed a few times!Customer Review: I'm unimpressed
Summary: 2 Stars
This is challenging to get open and closed for the adult in the equation. There are a series of little pegs that must fit into little holes to get it to latch. But they are quite challenging to get to line up correctly and heaven forbid you need to get it back open. Now you would think that that's the point of the power strip cover, right? Except the hole that allows the cords to come out the top is so wide that my 9 month old just sticks his hand right inside and can put a finger in the socket. It does come w a couple outlet plugs for the extra slots in your power strip, I was just hoping this would work a wee bit better. If all you really need is to prevent your child from unplugging things from your power strip, than this will work for you.Customer Review: Too Small
Summary: 2 Stars
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 plug would fit inside this thing.Customer Review: Good enough for me
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
This cover is very large/clunky, but it does the job. We have a power strip near my toddler's bed, and this handy little box keeps the danger contained. It is complicated enough that he can't get it open, but not so complicated that his daddy can't get into it, like some of the other products we have purchased for childproofing! We also installed an outlet cover where the outlets swivel shut if the plug gets pulled out, so I feel like we have done everything we can to keep his bed area safe.
