Safety 1st Child Proof Stove Knob Covers, Stove Knob Safety Covers (Set of 5)

These were easy to apply and work well. They aren't too bulky, and keep my son from messing with the knobs. Good purchase!

These were the perfect solution so I don’t accidentally burn down our apartment like I almost did on the day we moved in. Boxes everywhere, including on the stove, which has its knobs on the front, right above the oven door handle (WHYYY?!) — I must have bumped into one at some point, so I’m really glad I decided to go back out into the kitchen for a glass of water before bed. Everyone else was asleep by this point, and I smelled smoke. Woke the family up to try to find the source, and I picked up the box on the stove to find it smoldering on the bottom, with small flames coming out of the bottom of the boxes by the time I got it into the sink under water (and then hastily outside since that created smoke everywhere). I was SO AFRAID to go anywhere near our stove or place anything at all on top of it, ever. Until I decided to find out if these were a thing! And they were! (Amazon has everything! 🙂) Now I can bump into those knobs all I want to, without any worry that I’m going to accidentally turn a burner on without my knowledge. And it’s super easy for an adult to open them to turn the knobs on or off when cooking, yet would be nearly impossible for a young toddler to do the same. Thanks for a great safety product that isn’t just for kids — but adults too! I feel safe in my own home now. c:

I got these to protect the knobs on my gas stove from being accidentally turned on. These covers look nice, are easy to open and close, easy to install and they do the trick. They just spin around when the kids try to play with the knobs so it is pretty impossible for them to turn the stove on by accident. Great for kiddy proofing your home.

The covers are somewhat loose and free spinning when installed correctly, which is how they are supposed to be to function properly. Kid messes with the knob, but cannot turn the knob, because the plastic cover is completely surrounding it (and the plastic only spins freely around the knob). I used them on knobs that this product worked well for. If your knobs fit snugly in the cover, you would be able to turn the knob, making them useless. Only way to really know if they work, is to try them out on your specific knobs, and return or donate if they dont fit. These also come in handy so the stove doesn't turn on if someone leans on it. They look reasonably well enough, for what it is. Just a subtle tinted cover. I like that the cover opens so that using the knob is really just as easy to use. I docked a star because of how to open the cover is kinda wonky (as it should be to stop kids) but I feel like there could be a better way. It seems like when you open it to use it, it could break, or mess up the proper installation, so I would always make sure its closed properly, just in case. I've always been moderately careful with it, and have had no issues. Also, if you have a problem with a kiddo or dog pulling the knobs completely off, they might still be able to still pull these off, depending on grip strength.

These Safety 1st stove knob covers? Lifesavers! As a parent, you worry about everything, and these give me one less thing to stress about. They're super easy to install, they blend right in, and most importantly, they work! My curious toddler can't turn the knobs anymore, and that's worth every penny. 5 stars for the peace of mind!

I decided to purchase these after one close call and reading a review that mentioned "murderous cats." If you have murderous cats this is a must! I was afraid they wouldn't work on my narrow stove top but the pieces still "spin" and don't touch each other. I saw a complaint that with heat they might not last too long, but honestly, they arent expensive so if you had to replace in a couple of years, it wouldn't be the end of the world.The one drawback mentioned by a few is that they could be hard for some people to open. I have small not particularly strong hands and was able to do this one hand after a few tries. However, I have a friend, who recently had hand surgury who had trouble. If the issue is a little weakness, an adult could probably open these with two thumbs pressing down. I would describe it as being slightly easier than a "childproof" medicine bottle. If you bought these for an elderly relative, it might be worth your time to practice with them until they could find a way to work them.

Our gas stove knobs are probably slightly bigger than most, and the covers were a little too small and our knobs would not fit. We weren’t able to use them. The design is great though and they seemed to be easy to open and close. So for those that have a standard gas stove, I would still recommend trying them.

I don't have kids but I got these because my kitten was able to turn on the burners and they work great! He hasn't turned on the burners since I got them and I can still cook easily enough. They're super easy to put on, just remove the knob like you would for cleaning and put this underneath. I like that they're dark because they aren't super obvious/ugly.
