Two years ago tomorrow my (then 16 month old) son fell out a second story window of our house onto our driveway. After a terrifying ambulance ride and night of MRIs and X-rays the doctors concluded that the fracture in his skull wasn't too bad and he came home bruised but healthy. There were two intelligent, alert adults in the room when my son fell out the window. We were changing diapers and putting on pijamas with his siblings when in a couple wiggles he was up the chair and up onto the windowsill. The warnings on screens are sincere, they do nothing to retain a child leaning against them.When we went to childproof our windows after this we tried several options, including fancy locks that screwed in to the metal frame and could switch between locked and unlocked (in the event of a fire). One after another we'd go to open a window with muscle memory of the window opening all the way, and smash the locks right off.Velcro and tape didn't really seem like it would be much of a contender, but once we installed one of these we knew we had found the winner.I understand that different windows have different designs. We've used these in two different homes now (both built in the last 20 years) and have had zero problems with them. I'm truly baffled by the one star reviews that mention either the velcro slipping or the tape not holding. I really don't think I could force the window open with these in place if my life depended on it (but they're easy to remove). The velcro is robust and the tape/glue is incredible. Some have mentioned windows that can slide OVER these. Which I can't imagine (they're about the size of the smallest door stop), but apparently could be a problem for some windows.They do the three things you'd want any window lock to do, and they do it great. 1. They prevent a child from opening the window past a custom point that you set, but still allow for a breeze. 2. They prevent an intruder from forcing a window open, while still allowing for a breeze. 3.They are easy for an adult to remove in the event of fire. The velcro is incredibly tough horizontally, but are just easy enough for an adult to pop off pulling away (rather than across) the velcro.None of my intelligent kids, the oldest now five, have ever been able to remove one. I truly believe any adult could look at it and easily remove the wedge in the event of fire, even if they weren't aware the window had a locking mechanism (which I can't say for any other mechanism). Lastly, not only do you get to place the wedge where you want (for a one inch crack or a 4 inch crack or whatever), the strip of velcro that tapes/glues to the window frame is significantly longer than the wedge, so you can reposition it easily if you want a smaller or wider opening at any time (try that with screws).P.S. When we moved from out last home to this one a few months ago, we had to remove these. The taped/glued velcro strip was on incredibly tight. I had to tug very hard to remove it. But when it came off, it left no residue behind at all. Basically what i'm trying to say is that these are perfect in every way.

This product is great, easy to install and does what it should...HOWEVER!!!!! Holy overpriced! It you look at amazon.com you will see the exact same product for $9.99. The Canadian price is a total joke.

I think this is a great invention. Our house was built in 2006 and the windows are very good quality windows, but for some reason they don't have those little pop out locks that allow you to open the window a few inches. In my last house we had these pop out locks and they were great. The only complaint I had was that they were not adjustable as they were built in to the window and they only allowed you to open the window about 2 inches. I had been looking for something similar so that we would be able to leave our windows open a few inches during the day and night to get some fresh air. We watch a lot of crime shows and my mind is always racing thinking about how easy it would be for someone to break in when our windows are open by cutting the screen, and we wouldn't hear a thing. Therefore, we never really open our windows. Then I found these. I ordered 2 packs (4 locks total) and they work great! They are adjustable, so you can open the windows as far as you want. I have mine set at about 4-5 inches because I cannot imagine anyone being able to fit through that amount of space. They are easy to remove as well. You simply pull the wedge off the velcro and voila! This is great because on those nice breezy days we can still open our windows all the way, and then close them to a few inches at night. I am not concerned about the velcro losing its stickiness because I figure I will just buy more velcro and stick on the window. Not a big deal to me. This gives me peace of mind and I think its really a great idea.

I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter whose bed is up against her windows. I don't know if she knows how to unlock the windows or if she is strong enough to lift them up, but I don't want to find out! These window wedges are GREAT -- they are so simple and require no tools, but the velcro and adhesive are STRONG. I put them on without thinking on the part of the window that shows when the curtains are drawn open, so I removed them, and it was very hard to get the velcro off of the window because the adhesive on the back was so strong. When I did, I was concerned it wouldn't be as strong on the second application, and I might have to order another set, but it is still very strong and sturdy. The wedge itself is held with velcro, which I was skeptical of, but it is very strong, too. I have tested it about 5 times, and I've tried to push the window open while the wedge was on it, and I could not open it. I can pull the wedge off (in the case of fire), but it takes some strength and coordination, so I don't think my preschooler could. I think if I had older kids, like 7 or 8, that would be a concern of mine, but for my purposes, it makes me feel better that there IS some way for an adult to get it off without tools in the case of a fire. I would recommend this to parents of young children, and I think it would work well for renters, too, because you can (with some elbow grease) remove it and then you haven't left any damage. It could also work for travel, but I do think that eventually the velcro would lose effectiveness. This is a great product! I am glad I tried it before putting expensive, unattractive bars over my daughter's windows.
