A moon at the end made it 3 with the sun. The toys are a big hit with my daughter. Her room, hallway, and bathroom have all been given to her to give her the independence she needed for 4 years. This is a great product. This is a very easy to install product. They are about 90 seconds long The screws should last at most. But hang onto the originals.

It is possible to share a face plate with more than one switch as long as that specific switch has a screw on the top and bottom.
The two screws surrounding the switch should allow you to install it horizontally as long as they are surrounding the switch. Hope you have a good day!
Selected User Reviews For KidSwitch Award-Winning Light Switch Extender for Children & Toddlers - Original Style 3 Pack
They are so cute. It fits perfectly in my daughter's playroom, bedroom, and bathroom. It made her very happy. It doesn't take her much effort to control her lights. On the first day, it was a little crazy because she was so fascinated by taking advantage of this new ability, she kept turning the lights on and off repeatedly (she's only two, so a "please stop" doesn't go too far). Our first week with them was about playfulness, but now that they have been used for a week, they are proving to be very functional. It is important to note that some of our light switches in our house have a slider or dimmer switch directly next to them, and the Kidswitches do not work on those Moreover, the dimmer portion is covered so it cannot be adjusted manually. The dimmer portion moves when you use the switch. By doing this, the lights get dimmer and dimmer as you use the switch until you have to remove the kid switch in order to turn them back on again. I didn't have a dimmers installed, so I just placed them on light switches without dimmers, but it is something to consider depending on where you would like to have these installed.
One interesting feature is that after being on for a while, the light "charges" the switches, allowing them to glow in the dark for a short period. They don't last long, but they're sufficient for what they're doing. The best situation would be if they glow in the dark 24/7, but I understand why they are not. The extenders usually allow my son to reach the lights, but he still likes to use the stepping stool in the bathroom to reach the lights. The switch pictured here is a bit taller than the others, but I also want to do the same for a 4-way switch The same goes for the way switch. I highly recommend if you have a young one who wishes to reach the lights but just can't.
The system does a good job. During the installation, I did not like what I saw. There needs to be just a tiny bit more room in the spacer because if you tighten the screws the way they were originally tightened, it's very hard to manipulate the switch since the glowing plastic piece the toddler operates fits too tightly. Hence, you may want to loosen the screws a bit to get just enough room to turn. A tight fit will cause your toddler to be frustrated by pulling the moon away from the wall while also trying to operate the switch. Otherwise, these things will look like this the toddler will try to pull the moon away from the wall while also trying to operate the switch. Other options would have been better, but I couldn't find them. Having used these for more than a year, they haven't come off yet. In spite of the screws just barely being loose, they are still in good working condition. You won't realize this until after installation, but it will reduce the amount of real estate available normally to turn the switch on and off It isn't that big of a deal, however. As a gift, I gave my mom the third piece so my toddler could go potty at grandma's without having to wait for an adult. I will likely buy another pack in the next few months.
You must ensure the installation is done correctly. A toddler in our family is learning to use the potty. Her height prevents her from reaching the light switches, but she is of the age when she can go on her own. incredibly frustrating for a mom who is always on the go. The three-pack was cheaper than buying one individually, so I ordered it so I can install it in the kids' rooms too (it's cheaper to order a three-pack than one individually). DD immediately wanted to play with them as soon as I opened the box. Settling in the bathroom, we pulled out our screwdriver and got to work. After taking out the screws from the plate, I installed the Kidswitch, even though I hadn't read the instructions. That sounds interesting. Funny thing is, it doesn't seem to be very sturdy and I can't tighten it very much. As I move on to my children's rooms, I shrug it off. The ones in my bedroom fit remarkably better than those in my living room. They worked very well when I instructed her to turn the lights on and she was very impressed with the ease with which she could do it. As I was installing the last Kidswitch, I had an idea of what went wrong so I went back to the bathroom to figure out what went wrong. It wasn't difficult to figure out that I had redirected the Kidswitch What a mistake! My power went out, so I unscrewed the switch, flipped it around, and presto, power came back on. My true belief is that there are a few people who may have made the same mistake I did when I read the Amazon reviews prior to purchasing. You may need to make sure you are installing the screws into the side that has the recess. In a nutshell, this is a wonderful product and the system is great when installed correctly. The products are definitely ones I would recommend to.
It is a top-notch product I was worried that it was just a gimmick, but I am glad I bought it. I would like to share that my two and a half year old can now turn on the light in her room by herself when she wants to play and she thinks that it's really cool that she can do it As well as in the kitchen, we will eventually install one in the bathroom. Light switches that are standard in appearance are easy to install- Remember that you need to screw it in only halfway so that you can easily slide the extender (I had to experiment a bit to find out how much pressure I needed to apply). A younger child would not be able to reach the extender because of her height. My daughter is average height, and is just tall enough to reach the extender now, but a child who is shorter would find it difficult to reach- That's probably a plus if you don't want it to be treated as a toy by the rug rats. A strong recommendation!.
The switch extender was exactly what I was looking for! Using this switch, my son can reach the light in the bathroom, in his room, and the light in the closet. When he was a child he always had to sit on a stool to reach them OR he complained he couldn't because he was lazy and didn't want to get up. That way, he will have fun and it will be easy for him! * * *By giving this product a 4 star rating, I merely wish it were thinner. I know, I know, this is so It would be ideal if the switch itself was a little thinner so that it would be more appropriate.
For toddlers who consistently try to reach the switch by standing on random items, this is a good solution. This is definitely a fall prevention system! The only issue I have is that it was a little difficult to install at first if you didn't read the instructions (human error). Having the ability to be independent and the fact that it glows in the dark makes it a great product for those who are on the shorter side. I love that my toddler can do this on her own! I would buy from them again and recommend them to my friends.
