What Are Child Proof Outlets?
For families with young children, child proof outlets can be a life-saving necessity. These outlets – which look like standard wall outlets – feature spring-loaded receptacle cover plates. These protect electrical contacts by preventing the insertion of objects when there is unequal pressure applied to the contact points. That means the outlet will be able to tell the difference between a plug being inserted and another object, like a toy.
Why You Need Child Proof Outlets?
If you have young children at home, you know it’s impossible to watch them every second of every day. Childproof outlets give you peace of mind that your children are being protected from injuring themselves in the outlets. If a child inserts an object into an outlet, he or she can be at risk of electrical shocks, electrical burns, and even serious or fatal injuries.

Outlets To Avoid Installing in Your Home
While it’s important to install child proof outlets in your home, it’s crucial to understand that not all outlets are created equally. For example, avoid installing outlets that require you to screw plugs in place. These can create a fire hazard for your home!
If you have childproof outlets installed in your house, you can also avoid using plastic plugs that are inserted into the outlets to prevent kids from shoving items into the outlet. Because child proof outlets are tamper-proof, the plastic plugs are not needed and can present choking hazards to your children.
