It’s important to install safeguards on electrical outlets to keep inquisitive children from shocking themselves. While the most inexpensive method is to cover the outlet with plastic plug covers, they can be hard to remove. A more costly, but easier to use, alternative is to install Tamper Resistant Receptacles from Leviton. Tamper resistant outlets prevent foreign objects from entering while allowing a standard plug to fit.

These are horrible. They only work easily if you have a three prong plug. If you have a normal two prong you have to pound it in. And no there were no burrs or bent prongs out of the 10 plugs I tried!!!
