Mothercare Socket Covers Reviews

We have these plug socket covers in our house and I think they are essential if you have young children. Plug sockets are well known for being a cause of danger for children. If they put their fingers in or something like a pencil they could harm themselves very seriously. Of course we like to think we will not let an accident ...  Read the complete review

Having a child means safety around the home is very important as we have had some accidents in the past and I am always conscious of ensuring she is ok at home in the future. Mothercare is a brilliant local shop for me to pick up childcare products and so years ago when my daughter was at the crawling stage, we picked up some of these ...  Read the complete review

***Why are they?*** As names gives it away, this product is used for childproofing the house by covering electricity sockets and giving parents peace of mind and stopping little devils sticking various items into the electricity sockets. They are made of white strong and durable plastic with raised ridges. The ridges are then used ...  Read the complete review

I bought two packs of these socket covers from Mothercare recently because when my two year old Niece was over a few weeks ago I caught her messing about with one of the empty plug sockets in the hallway!!! What the attraction is with kids and sockets I'll never know but I decided I'd rather be safe than sorry so bought a pack for myself ...  Read the complete review

As with most things I did a fair amount of research when I started baby-proofing our house. As always I decided to err on the side of caution so I picked up a set of these Mothercare socket covers for £3.99 for a pack of 12, to cover up all the unused sockets in our house, and I soon found there were more than I'd realised ...  Read the complete review

Baby proofing the house is an essential thing to do once they start to crawl and walk about and the natural inquisitiveness of a baby could also put them at risk. You get 12 socket covers in a pack and they cost £6.99 so they are nice and affordable. They are white in colour so they match the colour of our plug sockets. They ...  Read the complete review

I bought a large quantity of these over a year ago to prevent fingers getting into plug sockets. The problem is, i struggle with them myself, and even I cant get them out. I don't have nails so have to get sharp objects like a screwdriver, a knife or anything like that behind them to carefully lift them out of the mains ...  Read the complete review

As I mentioned in my previous review, we purchased a home safety starter set from Mothercare for £12.99 when my son first became mobile. Within this set there were 6 plastic socket covers, as pictured above. These can be placed into any three pin electrical socket that is exposed and could be attractive to inquisitive babies who just ...  Read the complete review

Once your little baby starts to become mobile thats really where the fun starts and the house becomes an amazing playground of adventure that they love exploring. The trouble for us is that there's lots of things around the house that need modifying if I want to let my little boy loose. Its quite a funny situation for me because although ...  Read the complete review

As with all child safety products they are aimed at at starting from a certain age of your child. So child gates and socket covers are products which come in when your child is first moving from the linear and starting to explore the world on his or her own steam. So when your little bit of joy starts hitting 6-9 months they ...  Read the complete review

As my daughter began to explore her surroundings I became very aware of all the non child friendly places in my home. As there is a socket right by her bed I was worried she would get the idea of sticking her fingers into the sockets or sticking something else into them so I searched online for socket protectors and found these from ...  Read the complete review

I have bought many packs of these socket covers from Mothercare and think that they do the job they are supposed to do. I have two children and these have come in very handy indeed. My eldest son is 5 years old now and therefore does not need them at all. My youngest however, who is 2 years old, is an absolute nightmare with ...  Read the complete review

My most recenet reviews have tended to be about baby / toddler items and that is because I currently have my one year old nephew staying with me for 4 nights! He is currently at that exploring stage, where he doesn't just look, but has to touch / eat / put in his mouth everything that he comes into contact with and his new ...  Read the complete review

My daughters safety is the most important thing to me, as it is with all parents, but I would sometimes go as far as saying I can be a bit paranoid about things. I worry about everything, and one of the main things I was concerned about was plug sockets! My dad is an electrician and on occasion there have been spare sockets in a small ...  Read the complete review

We were given these socket covers as part of a Mothercare 'home safety starter kit'. Although our daughter is only four months old, her cot is right next to a double electrical socket and we figured we'd better be safe than sorry as far as safety is concerned. The covers are plain white plastic and look wholly uninteresting so ...  Read the complete review

As anyone with a young child knows, they can be very inquisitive, poking about at anything that looks interesting - including things you'd rather they left alone - such as plug sockets. Of course, as adults, we know that sticking fingers or, heaven forbid, forks into a plug hole is pretty dangerous . But younger children don't ...  Read the complete review

In the past couple of days, I have heard very mixed reviews about this kind of product with the discussion split squarely down the middle. Are they a good idea or are they a household hazard? It seems that enquiring minds cannot seem to agree though I think there are arguments for both sides! Personally, we bought a set of ...  Read the complete review

***Please don't use socket covers! They are dangerous, read on for more info*** Once my children were old enough to begin toddling round the house and getting up to mischief, putting their fingers and toys where they shouldn't, I knew I would have to buy some covers for the plug sockets in my house. My son in particular was ...  Read the complete review

When looking around for socket covers we came across the Mothercare set of 12 covers for just £5.99. We viewed the products as being as set that can perhaps make sockets look flatter and less interesting to a curious toddler. ********************************************************** Modern sockets seem to be placed at a ...  Read the complete review

My family always get amused telling me the story of how I nearly electrocuted myself. I was only 8 month old and I was sitting eating a yoghurt which they were impressed with. I thought it would be good idea, to take the end of my spoon and put it in a socket (I still to this day say I should've had a plastic spoon). I decided to stick ...  Read the complete review
