Outlets have almost a magnetic attraction for young children. They will attempt to stick everything from their fingers (or their twin's fingers!) to their toys into the outlet opening. Unfortunately, the outlets in most homes are right at toddler eye-level, so it's best to cover all of them with a protective shield. This product covers the entire plate, but still allows use of the outlet. Consider keeping extras on hand to carry along when you travel.
