Baby proofing outlet covers might be the first or second to-do on your baby proofing checklist. And for good reason. Outlets can be extremely dangerous. These outlet covers snap over your outlet, then slide over to cover the outlet openings, and keep little fingers, toys, or heaven-only-knows-what-else from getting stuck into your outlets.

What would a baby proofing list be without a baby gate?
