BABYGO magnetic child safety locks review

The BABYGO magnetic child safety locks are an essential set of locks and corner bumpers to protect your little ones from unnecessary bumps or falls. The safety locks themselves work with a magnetic key which you can fit higher up and out of reach of little hands. This magnetic key deactivates your locks, which are placed on the inside of the cupboards or drawers you want to keep locked.

The BABYGO box also comes with eight corner bumper protectors which stick on using adhesive pads to help baby proof things like coffee tables, kitchen worktops and cabinets. This clever and useful set is also a Mother&Baby Awards 2023 Bronze winner.

Testing the BABYGO magnetic child safety locks

Our parent testers put the BABYGO magnetic child safety locks to the test and here is what they thought.

Maria said: "The BabyGo Magnetic Child Safety Locks are a clever design that fit into cupboards and can be unlocked with a magnetic key. They're a brilliant design. Even if cupboards and drawers that you don't want your little one to peep into are low, the magnetic key can be kept higher up, out of reach of little hands, and attached with adhesive pads. This is great if you want to keep them slightly hidden so it doesn't ruin your house decor. The BABYGO baby proof corner protectors are a lifesaver, especially on the corners of the coffee table in the living room...however my toddler did pull them off! We can still maintain a normal, functioning living room, without any accidents."

Jenny said: "I really like this product. I used the magnetic locks on my 21-month-old daughter's drawers and wardrobe in her bedroom as she has just moved to a cot bed and cannot yet be trusted not to trap her fingers if she gets out of bed and opens them. The locks are very secure but open with ease when using the magnetic key. I found the lining up to fit the locks took a couple of tries, but once you get the position correct the applicator makes it very easy to fit them."

Jem said: "So this product is definitely better than the standard child locks - they are so annoying when you have to use your fingers to unclip them. The BABYGO product looks smart, fits really well and easily, the magnetic key also looks nifty. Whilst it is easy to use for an adult (and my 4-year-old son), my toddler can make no sense of it! I have given him the magnetic key to see if he can get into a cupboard, and so far no luck! I would absolutely recommend this product."

Fay said: "The Magnetic Child Safety Locks were easy to use and set up. Having something new and as a deterrent was definitely something my little boy was interested in exploring. He tried to open the cupboards, but failed which is definitely successful for me as he's tried so many times before and succeeded."

Chloe said: "I had such a great experience with these magnetic locks. They were very, very easy to use, and our youngest daughter really struggled to get into things which is perfect as there are lots of things you need to keep out the way of little ones hands. They were also easy for us adults to use unlike some we have used in the past."

Nicola said: "We have been using the product for a few a weeks now and I have to say we have proper love them. We have a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old and it helps use with both of them, stops our 4-year-old from going after all the treats in the snack drawer and stops our little girl from ripping everything out of the cupboards. We are very pleased with them, found them easy to install, after reading the instructions correctly."
