Baby monitor. Check. Power outlet plugs. Check. Kitchen cabinet locks, oven guard, door stoppers. Check, check, check. Fun and stylish? Not so much. And I don’t really expect it with these essential baby safety items – but it’s always a bonus to find a product that delivers both practicality of use and clever design.

One such safety product are the VisualGram door stoppers. Fashioned in the shape of an elephant, ladybug or panda, they’re destined to be ultra-popular with the kiddies while adding that missing touch of playfulness to an otherwise utilitarian object. They’ll still do the job of keeping doors open and little fingers safe so let the fun begin with choosing a design!

I’m leaning towards the panda – the little ears had me at hello. Available from Quirky Kids Online for $4.95 each plus postage.
