That's where the 'Plug Perfect' comes in handy to ensure that kids aren't able to gain access to empty sockets as well as ones that are in use. The 'Plug Perfect' works by being installed over existing [wall plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/22-system) and allowing [specially designed adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-charge-adapter) to be used overtop. Different ones for different scenarios can be used including one for when something is plugged in as well as another for when the outlet spot is vacant. The 'Plug Perfect' plug cover is currently available for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchnot) where the system can be purchased for low introductory prices. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Smart Outlet Covers:** The 'Plug Perfect' plug cover leverages smart technology to restrict access to electrical outlets for children. - **Customizable Plug Covers:** The 'Plug Perfect' plug cover offers adaptability with interchangeable adapters for different situations, creating opportunities for personalized childproofing solutions. - **Childproofing Innovations:** The 'Plug Perfect' plug cover exemplifies the growing trend of innovative products designed to enhance child safety in the home. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Smart Home Technology:** The 'Plug Perfect' plug cover aligns with the smart home industry, presenting opportunities for integration with other home automation devices. - **Childcare Products:** The 'Plug Perfect' plug cover caters to the childcare industry by providing a reliable solution to childproof electrical outlets. - **Home Safety:** The 'Plug Perfect' plug cover addresses the home safety industry's need for advanced solutions that safeguard young children from potential electrical hazards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Power Cord Removers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plug-puller.md) - [Power Station Outlet Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-powerextend-usbc-plug.md) - [Surge Protector Outlet Extendors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-plug-outlet-extender.md) - [Easy-to-Install Outlet Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switch-plate-set.md) - [Anti-Scald Protective Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protective-covers.md) - [Safe Play-Training Kids Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchnot.md) - [Accessible Power Cord Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipull.md) - [Rotating Outlet Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oconnect-onestep.md) - [Real-Time Power-Tracking Outlets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelly-plug-gen4.md)
