Product Information
Full details
The Safetots Double Socket Cover is an essential safety accessory designed for parents and caregivers looking to childproof their homes against electrical hazards. Its primary benefit is protecting children from poking fingers or foreign objects into standard double plug sockets, while also preventing plugs from being accidentally pulled out during use. A key caveat to note is that while it acts as a significant deterrent and physical barrier, it is intended to complement, not replace, active adult supervision around electrical fixtures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Safetots Double Socket Cover is designed to be quick and intuitive. Simply align the cover over your existing standard 13A double socket. Ensure the device sits flat against the wall plate. For maintenance, the cover should be kept clean to ensure the material remains in good condition. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the surface; avoid using harsh abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic and harbor dust or bacteria. Periodically check the cover to ensure it is still firmly seated against the wall.
