Tomee Tippee Socket Covers

Before buying and using these socket covers, or any other make, have a look at www.fatallyflawed.org.uk. The 13A "square" pin sockets used in the UK have had to conform to British Standard 1363 since the late 1940s. They HAVE to have a built in safety shutter on the live contacts. This makes them inherently very safe and no other safety cover is necessary. In many sockets these shutters are opened by inserting the earth (top) pin. So-called "safety" covers make the ideal tool for doing this when turned upside down or when broken. (See above website). Far from adding to safety, most, possibly all, "safety" ...  Read the complete review

I thought that I would have learnt with our first two children. It seems that I may have overlooked a small but important detail of a small child's safety. Having two school aged children, an active toddler running about and a small dependant baby to look after, I kind of forgot what toddlers can get up to when in a curious mood.

Little fingers love to explore, to find holes to poke themselves in, or pick up things to poke into holes. Inquisitive fingers are great until it comes to putting them in the electric socket and getting a fatal electric shock. So make your sockets safe if you have young children around. I have made the sockets safe at work. My daughter has safe sockets in her house I shall be making mine safe before baby Adrian gets inquisitive.
