Now your child can say, "I did it myself"! It's so important to help our kids build self-esteem and independence. That's why these light switch extenders are perfect for children's bedrooms, plus the bathroom, of course. They attach easily, so tots can turn their lights on and off all by themselves. And this is the only extender we've found that actually glows in the dark, so it's easy to find even at night. For ages 3 and up.

Whew! About time!

"Do you get tired of turning on the light for your kid who can go to the bathroom by themself? Than this is what you need. I was so sick of turning the light on for a child who could otherwise handle bathroom duty alone. We had a similar string-type thing on her bedroom switch, and it was great. Our bathroom light is a dual switch, though, and the other type wouldn't work on a dual switch. Since this fits over t..." Read Full Review »

Switch extender could be improved

"Everytime DD pulls on this, I am afraid that she is going to snap it and break it. So far it has held up for 2 weeks. The place that we needed it most was the bedroom. My husband had to heat the plastic and make it so that it would work with the chair railing molding that is on the wall. It would have been nice to have a product that was not so rigid as to stick out into the room then. I don't like the moon..." Read Full Review »

"My 1 1/2 year old loves this. We are setting up her big girl room and I wanted her to be able to turn the light on by herself. This is great!"

"This product has been a lifesaver. We have had these for several years with no problems. I have them in all my boys' bedrooms, all bathrooms (except the master), and in the boys' playroom. This has probably saved me literally miles of walking up & down stairs and hours spent turning lights on and off for my boys! It has given them independence, including an unexpected bonus of independence for potty-training toddlers. It's glow in the dark design, though not super bright, allows it to be found in the dark. I was afraid when I first installed them they might break too easily with 3 rough & tumble little boys pulling on them all the time but so far they've been endured a fair amount of abuse with no problems"

"We love the Kid Switch! My 3.5 year old son kept dragging his step stool around to turn on lights in his room and the bathroom. I was so ready for him to fall! Plus, it just isn't very convenient - he wasn't very good about turning off the lights. He loves the moon shape and is so excited that the switch makes him a little more independent. We're teaching him how important it is to save electricity, and one way to do that is by turning off lights - something he can now do easily! The switches are well constructed and easily mounted - it took me all of about 90 seconds to install each one. We will buy more for his closet and his brother's room (when his brother is old enough to need one)."

"I bought two of these, one for our kids bathroom, and one for my daughters room. The bedroom installation went smoothly. The bathroom wasn't as easy. The screws given to us were far too small so I ended up using the screws that the face plate had originally been installed with. They were hard to move at first but I loosened the screws a bit and they are much easier to use now. I don't have to worry about her climbing on things to turn on the light. I also don't have to worry about her stumbling into the bathroom in the middle of the night because she turns the light on herself. She also loves that they glow in the dark! :) I plan on getting another after our son is born/grown enough that he could use one. :)"
