need help from grandparents/parents! does anyone know which kitchen cabinet safety door latches work best? I have installed the Parents magazine safety latches, and am not happy with the results. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

We went with simple ones and just made sure to watch our kids and teach them not to go in the "dangerous" cabinets and drawers. The "safety latches" were just reminders for them.
But our friends have these: KidSafe Cabinet Locks: Magnetic Tot Lok Deluxe Starter Set, Baby Gates, Child Safety, Baby Proof Supplies
Their son doesn't listen as well as my kids, and those latches work very well. The "key" stays stuck on their fridge. Super annoying, but more secure than the plastic ones which break and can be defeated if you pull fast enough. | |

I'll second that! The better they work, the more annoying they are. If you go with the ones I linked to, make sure you have a spare key or magnet that works! | |

We have been preferential to the ones that are plastic cords that get shaped like a bow. Our handles are nobs, and they are pretty easy for us to open and hard as heck for the little ones. THey only work on double doors, but all of our lower cabinets are double doors. | |

we tried the safety latches,but ended up putting things up beyond their reach,its a pita,but its only for a couple of years or 5.it didnt take long for them to figure out how to open the cabinets ,most aggervating is the things we put on the doorknobs,they are hard for even adults.

We used the regular plastic ones for our cabinet doors. My wife designated one small cabinet for the kid. The only thing in it was some tuperware type containers and big goofy cookie cutters (not sharp). Of course a truck or two would find it's way in there also.  After a little reenforcement of "this cabinet is yours to play in" we didn't have any problems. | |

We use the tot locks too, and I store the key on the top of the hood above the range. | |
