Posts Tagged ‘Safety’

As a mother of a very curious toddler,  I’m very concerned about the open sliding  doors and windows in my home. When living in a third floor story apartment, you can’t take chances.

During the Summer time, my husband and I decided it was safer to keep our windows shut in fear of our daughter climbing out of them and becoming severally hurt or worse.  You can guess that our apartment was very uncomfortable in keeping our windows shut as no ac unit would fit in our windows and we had no airflow whatsoever for awhile.

I looked at window safety devices but all of them that I found had to be installed by drilling, etc… all which if you do in an apartment, you lose your deposit.

When I was asked to review Protection Plus, a window and door locking device, I was more than eager to try it out!  What makes this product different than those other safety locks is that it takes literally seconds to install. Yes, you heard me right, seconds!

To use, simply stick the product onto the inside or outside of the door, and pull the tab on the side of the suction cup to remove it.It is recommended that the surface that you are going to install this one is clean to prevent it from not sticking.

I’ve installed this on the sliding glass closet door in my bedroom, as my daughter likes to get into the closet and pull all my shoes out! This may be fun for her but not for mom who has to clean them all up and then sometimes wander around searching for a match. Once I applied Protection Plus to my closet door, my daughter tried to open the door and wasn’t able too. She gave up and went off to play with something else!

Not sold yet? Here are some other great facts and features;

• Made of heavy-duty PVC materials, with a suction cup backing
• Can be used inside or outside

I can now open my windows and living room sliding glass door in ease, knowing that protection plus is there to keep my daughter and other children from getting into a very dangerous situation.

I recommend these to those with small children, or that may have kids visiting.  Though, keep in mind that the possibilities of uses are endless!

As a parent I know one of our worst fears is misplacing our children. Ever since my daughter has started walking, I’ve been holding back in letting her free roam in local areas. Most times when we are out, she’s either in her stroller, on my back in a carrier, or buckled into a child harness. I know my days are numbered when she’ll grow out of her stroller, carriers, and refusal of her harness. So, I’m glad their are products like Guardian Angel Bracelet ID out there that I can write my cell phone on and attach to my daughter’s wrist if she gets lost.

Mom Kimberly Martinez lost her son at the beach for almost 25 minutes. Thankfully, her son was found and returned safely to her. After that frightening experience, Kimberley designed the Guardian Angel Bracelet ID - a waterproof, durable bracelet that you can write your phone number on in case your child goes missing from your care.

I have not had an experience where my daughter has gone missing but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Kids are curious and in crowded areas keeping an eye on your children causing them to not wander can be hard, especially if you have more than one to keep up with.

These bands are similar to the ones my daughter is tagged with at church each weekend.  These fit perfectly and if adjusted properly, there’s no way these can slip off or be taken off without using scissors to remove them.

Buy it: You can purchase the Guardian Angel Family Pack which contains 10 bracelets for $9.95 at their website. Other larger size packs are also available for purchase.  These are great to have handy for grandparents, babysitters, or whoever else you leave your child in care with.
