Tempting Lamp Cord

Question form Brooklyn, NY

Dear Stop touching the cord,”

Children are fascinating. Of course the cord is irresistible to your little one. It’s entirely out of bounds to him and he knows you won’t like it. :)

Fear not, you are not alone. Below are a few of options that can support you in fixing this inconvenience without needing to change the decor of your home and most importantly, keep you little one safe.

  • Cord Shortener + Outlet Cover

    • This option covers the entire outlet and includes an additional piece to control the excess cord. It’s very neat and secure allowing you to be worry free

    • There are videos online for this

  • Paintable Cord Cover

    • This attaches directly to your wall and you can paint over it to match your wall color. You can search for something like this online as well as through your local hardware store

    • The package contains a myriad of sizes and corner pieces that you mix and match to work for your particular needs

    • This is a great option if you know that you are going to be keeping the lamp in the same place for a while

  • Clip Adhesives

    • These handy adhesive clips attach to any surface and the cord easily slips in and out. However, this may not be the best option for you right now because the cord itself is still exposed and your son could technically pull on it.
