covering electric plugs behind cribs?

My girls share a small room in our townhome - it's nice but there are plugs everywhere. I have the covers on now - there is one behind each crib. They have bumpers in there now - that I'd like to remove - the girls just need the room and they now can cuddle w/ their blankie - I know - i kept them in there too long. But they're great bumpers and the girls LOVED them. Anyway, I can't remove them, I realized, b/c the plugs are behind the cribs and I don't want them to have access to them. There's really no way to rearrange the room....any suggestions on what I can do w/ these plugs?

Thanks!!!

 

you don't have to remove the plugs but they do have covers you can put over all sockets you don't use. take the switch plate off and just get a switch plate that covers it all. they have them at home depot it will look like just a plate there. that way if you need it when they are older then just put a regular switch plate there so you can use the socket. i hope i explained it right. i did that for all the sockets i don't use and all the sockets in their room i do use i have the switch plate you have to move to the side when plugging things in for added protection

 

I just took my sons bumpers down and he's 23mths. It kept his pacifier in and kept him from banging his head on the bars while sleeping. The outlets (we have a lot too) I just use the little plastic things you stick into them or if there is actually plugs in the outlets I have covers over them. They stick out about 1 1/2in to 2in (not really sure how far they stick out) but the kids can't get them off and pull out the plugs. I think I got mine from Wal Mart or Toys R Us.

I never thought of it that way and great idea!

This is a great idea!

My girls are almost 17 months and they still have bumper pads!

 

We had this same problem, so I took duct tape and put it over the plastic outlet covers. Not aesthetically pleasing, but it keeps their fingers out.
