Why We Recommend This

CPSC estimates that approximately 2,400 children under 10 are treated in ERs annually for injuries caused by electrical outlets. Basic outlet covers are the first line of defense. Safety 1st is the #1 best-selling outlet cover on Amazon with over 28,000 reviews. We recommend this over the individual plug-in caps because the sliding cover is harder for toddlers to remove. Selection basis: Amazon Best Sellers: Child Safety products + CPSC injury statistics.
