Product Information

Move your bookshelf. You can also use your bookshelf to cover the switch. Draw it towards the switch, leaving enough space for your fingers to slide in, and turn the switch on or off when you need it. If you can make them understand the danger, they will never try to play with the dangerous things. Yes, it takes time, and you also have to wait for the time until they understand, but it definitely works. 3. Let Them Play with Their Favorite Things Move the chair. Do you have a chair or cushion that gives your child a leg up to reach the switch? Consider moving it away from the wall if it’s practical. A few futile attempts to reach the switch and the child will most likely forget about it. Child-proofing a light switch is all about keeping the child away from the switch. Light switch covers, branded and DIY, are the most common approaches adopted, but with a little bit of creativity, you can make the switch out of reach for your child.

MORE USABLE INTERIOR SPACE THAN ANY OTHER BABYPROOFING BOX COVER- Extra large size and depth for bigger plugs. Inside dimensions measure 5 3/8″ High x 3 3/16″ Wide x 2 3/4″ Deep- All usable space! Keep the child busy. What other toys do they love to play with? Can you get them outdoors a bit more? If the child is getting enough playtime and has other toys to stay busy with, you may not have to spend too much time chasing them away from the light switch. The ILIVABLE Light Switch Guard and the LYOOWNG Light Switch Guard Cover are two examples you can get. They’re easy to install and have a clear design that’ll seamlessly fit your décor. Once you’ve bought the light switch cover, it’s time to install them. Parents need to start doing child proof light switch guards for all the rooms in their house, of course, to protect their children. If parents don’t childproof these items, their toddlers could get electrocuted or hurt if they ever touch them without supervision. The easiest way to child-proof a light switch is to get a light switch guard. You can buy one from a store near you or online.

Since toddlers are curious, they are very likely to try touching the electrical outlet with their fingers just to see what happens. If you have ever seen a fly get zapped by an electric fence, then you know that this is not something that anyone would want to happen, especially if it was your kid! One approach you can consider if you don’t want to buy any light switch covers or construct one is to cover up the switch temporarily. It sounds drastic, but it may be your only choice with some children, which might make sense if you don’t need regular access to the switch. KEEP ELECTRICAL PLUGS OUT OF BABY’S REACH- Large, oversized design for childproofing plugs and AC adapters from baby monitors, three prong power cables, surge protectors, USB chargers, power strips, phone and electrical plugs and chargers. Extra large interior has room for cord depth when plugged in. Works with larger cords, power strip plugs, baby monitor plugs. Remove the existing screws from the switch plate. Place the plastic piece over your light switch and mark where the screws will go. Use your screwdriver or the screws you removed to punch holes in the plastic. 4. Screw the cover in place. Talk to them about the dangers of playing with a light switch. You can teach your child the risks associated with using the light switch as a plaything, depending on their age. It’s not going to catch on immediately, but with a few of your parenting skills, you can get results. Approaches like rewarding good behavior will never go out of style.

Your goal is to make the light switch as your baby doesn’t have access to it. You can easily do this very simply. You can make the cover from the recycled plastic in your house. Just cut a moderately hard plastic bottle according to the size you need. Voila! Your covers for light switches are made.Yup, we’ve all been there. Child proofing light switches is relatively simple and it won’t take you long, but you need the right tools to get it done. I put this together because I know how important it is to keep your child away from switches, especially when the garbage disposal is feeling vulnerable. At the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a lot of switches your toddler (hopefully) can’t figure out and you’ll have a whole lot more peace of mind.

Remove the screws holding the light switch and position the plastic piece over the switch face to highlight positions for the screws. Use the screwdriver to punch holes around the positions you’ve mapped out for the screws. You can also use the screws to make the holes. You thought the day was light years away, but all of sudden, your child can reach the light switches and you’re scrambling to child proof them before bedtime so they’re not having a tiny toddler rave at midnight.

CLEAR DESIGN BLENDS WITH HOME DÉCOR – Unique virtually invisible design that blends with any home décor or wall plate, is safe to use for both indoor and outdoor switches and is dimmer compatible. Made of clear polycarbonate plastic. SUPERIOR STYLING AND BETTER QUALITY MATERIALS: You know how awful it looks when you see dents and chipped paint surrounding your outlets. Our covers are slightly oversized to cover these flaws and also have stronger springs to for better long-term protection. Truthfully, you’ll really never have to remove them because they look great. Take out the screws from the switch plate with the screwdriver. However, you don’t have to remove the switch plate, as it should be on the light switch. You also need to retain the screws. Don’t throw away the screws on the light switch, as you’re likely to use them later when you uninstall the light switch cover in the future when you no longer need the child-proofing. Decorate the cutout. You can do without this step, but it’s nice to decorate the cut out to ensure it fits with the rest of your décor. You can skip this step if you use clear plastic, as the cover won’t stand out too much in that scenario. If you choose to decorate, be sure to avoid going overboard with it. If it looks too much fun, your child will likely find it attractive.All you need to do is find a small plastic cover, turn on the switch, cover it up and hold the cover in place with some tape. You may also use the tape directly on the light switch by taping down the switch in the position of your choice, which might either be switched off or on. Hide the switch behind a flower vase. You can strategically position a flower vase such that the plant can cover the switch. The plant doesn’t have to be real if you don’t want the stress of caring for one. A vase filled with artificial flowers can do a good job of covering up the switch. Sometimes, all it takes is some discussion and buying a few more toys to permanently get the switch out of the child’s mind. Other times, you’ll have to work a bit harder. Choose any of the methods discussed above that’s most practical to you. Switches come in a variety of configurations, so why not change it up a bit and try new things? I have seen switches with three switches on one plate and even switches with four buttons. Try some or all of them to see if this will stop kids from cutting power to your home and means nighttime trips by playing with it!
