"KidSwitch" extends down 12" from the switch, allowing toddlers to safely reach and operate room lights."
I was SO excited that I had found something that would allow her to use the potty w/ out having to wait for help from someone else. However, that excitement soon fizzled out when I received the package in the mail, opened it & headed right to the bathroom to install it.

Now what? I began to look for a place in the house where the "KidSwitch" would function properly and that my 2 yo would need to turn on/off the light. It had never crossed my mind this wouldn't work for what I needed it for. Since we have an older house, many of the switches in the house while flipping vertically on/off, are difficult to turn operate due to their age. After combing the house for just the right switch, which fit all the above criteria, we decided upon a bedroom light switch.
Following the simple instructions I installed the "KidSwitch" on the light switch cover and over the toggle switch. I removed the existing switch plate screws, and replace them with the "KidSwitch" screw sets. The whole installation only required a screwdriver. To operate it simply push the moon handle up or down.
I was worried that maybe because the original switch was so high off the ground that she wouldn't be able to reach it, but that was not a problem. It was easy for her to use and she was quick to figure it out.
While it didn't work for my initial intention, I think it's a great solution to avoid dangerous climbing by toddlers. If the switch in our bathroom would have be a vertical one it certainly would have solved our bathroom issue.. Now I have a new problem.. my 2 yo can't decide if the light should be on or off.. :)
