Grrrr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyproofing-woes#post-576570 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:31:58 +0000 IcebergMom 576570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha we didn't proof out up high plugs. :) I think you could ditch those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyproofing-woes#post-576513 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:22:52 +0000 prettylizy 576513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HATE plug covers too.... Seriously, when I need to vacuum it's such a pain to pull those flippin things out. </p> <p>We didn't super babyproof the whole house because she is the only LO right now and usually not out of our sight. She is 11.5 months and knows what NO means. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyproofing-woes#post-576509 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:22:22 +0000 mrsmenow 576509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the plug of what ever I am trying to plug in to pry the cover off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyproofing-woes#post-576503 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:20:46 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 576503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I hate those covers too! So instead of using those, we replaced our outlets with these screw on ones - <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?sku=14878424&#038;utm_source=google&#038;utm_medium=cpc&#038;gclid=CNmkl_iYw7UCFQLznAodQBUAMg" rel="nofollow">http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?sku=14878424&#038;utm_source=google&#038;utm_medium=cpc&#038;gclid=CNmkl_iYw7UCFQLznAodQBUAMg</a> - they're so much easier to access. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyproofing-woes#post-576497 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:19:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 576497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha and when we babyproofed, we also grandmaproofed our kitchen drawers. My mom still jumps every time she tries to open a drawer and it bangs after just one inch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyproofing-woes#post-576490 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:18:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 576490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh mannnn I hate those covers. Seriously, if you have short nails you end up getting it too far under your nail, the nail separates from the flesh and then it hurts for a week!!! Worst everrrr!!!! </p> <p>If I were you I'd keep a flat-head screwdriver nearby to pry it off if you want to keep it on. But if it's up that high, will LO ever get close enough?? The chances of a shock are so low anyway, I'd just keep it off!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babyproofing-woes#post-576483 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:17:10 +0000 littlek 576483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, DH babyproofed our house this weekend and he has also Mommyproofed our bathroom. He went crazy with outlet covers and covered the outlet in our bathroom (FYI- it's up high) where I plug in my hairdryer. The darn thing is near impossible to get out... does anyone have recommendations on outlet covers that don't break your nails when you try and pull them out? </p>
