One of the first things I did when I found out I was pregnant with my first child was baby proof my house. I bought those little plug covers and covered every outlet in my house. Never once did I think that the item I was putting into my outlet to protect my child, could be potentially dangerous. Neither did George DeCell, creator of Safety Caps. However, when his daughter Sage choked on one of those little plug covers, George knew he needed to come up with something that didn’t cause another child to experience what he and his daughter did. That’s when Safety Caps came about.
Immediately upon receiving the Safety Caps in the mail, I compared them to the standard plug covers. Almost immediately it was clear that the Safety Caps were a much better and much safer product. Aside from being larger, it is also clearer than the standard outlet covers. This is a huge plus. My kids are constantly trying to pull those things out of the plug. Which kinds of defeats the purpose of covering the plug (well…somewhat). The clearer plug literally blends in very nicely with any color outlet cover.

I love that they aren’t a choking hazard!I am always leary of using caps(even though I do) but I always fear my son will pry one off and pop it right into his mouth so these are a great choice!

They have pacifier holes for added safety, not choaking sounds like not all the others can compare to. I hope they do well!

I read the Boston Globe article – very impressed that he’s still trying to take on the US product Safety Commission to get them to change the guidelines!

SAFETY CAPS meet the same industry standards as do pacifers. They are non-toxic and are manufactured with two small holes which would prevent suffocation should a small child were to put it in their mouth and it would get lodged there.
Until the industry mandates outlets that autoclose when not in use these are a lifesaver for our younger children.
