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

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:

Still using these in my stoveGreat for the priceLooks good on my black stoveEasy to installNot the best to take off and clean but not terrible either

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.

We purchased this item in June 2024. Easy to install, easy to open & close, and the tinted shade complements our stove nicely. However, it is now 9 months later, and 2 covers have broken at the hinge as reported by other reviews. If the manufacturer strengthens this one part of the knob covers, I'd reward them with 5 stars. While it isn't an expensive item, the covers shouldn't have to be replaced so soon, especially when the problem could be solved easily. Also, be aware that the item description isn't entirely accurate. I have no idea where the dimensions 7.79"L x 7.49"W came from. Each cover is a little less than 3" in diameter. Furthermore, the exterior finish is stainless steel?? It's a black tint on the plastic cover. The only thing that might be stainless steel would have to be the tiny rod that is part of the hinge. Safety 1st, yes. Improving the longevity of the product, a close 2nd!

18 month old grandson loves to twist knobs on the gas range. These keep him from opening the gas flow when he sneaks out of sight. They are noisy enough so we know immediately he's in there playing around and work well enough to prevent a disaster. They don't replace immediate supervision once you hear them rattle but suffice to call attention. He sometimes pulls the cover and the knob off the stove but has not been able to turn on the gas in the process. Easy to put back on and he has pretty much learned not to mess with them after a few weeks. If your little one can reach the knobs, these are a necessity.

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

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.

Good, i like them, safe stove, safe home, safe kids. 😀
