New Safety 1st Outsmart™ Flex Lock,4 Pack (white)
The Safety 1st OutSmart™ Flex Lock is a child safety cabinet latch designed to prevent children from opening cabinets by using a decoy button that distracts while hidden buttons release the lock. It installs without drilling via adjustable straps that fit cabinets with hardware 3 to 8 inches apart, compatible with both knobs and handle pulls. This pack includes four white units. While manufacturer tests found it stronger than competitors, some parent reviews report that toddlers may quickly learn to bypass the lock by pressing the sides, suggesting effectiveness may vary depending on child persistence.

I appreciated the detailed description
I appreciated the detailed description, I knew I was getting a floor model and it came in perfect shape at a much reduced cost. When I thought the cupholders weren't included, I reached out to them and then we found them and they were very responsive and thankful that I let them know. Everything is fine.

Couldn’t even tell the stroller had been returned.

So grateful
Found what I needed at a price I could afford.
Great, trustworthy experience
Great deals, easy checkout with lots of payment options, shipped very quickly, and everything was packed well and looked exactly as it was described! I didn't end up needing any intervention with my shipping experience but appreciate the option to cover lost packages for a minimal fee, especially as we get into the late and lost package holiday season. I'll definitely be getting more of my baby gear from Kidsy.
Would buy again
Everything was smooth and the item was as described.
Kidsy Customer Service Review
Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.
Love Kidsy!
I’ve ordered a few items from Kidsy now and all have been great.
Quick response
Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.
Good experience
Item arrived just as described. Couldn’t be happier.

19-month-old defeats Outsmart Flex Lock repeatedly
My 19mo old just opened this lock 3x in a row. Amazing. We've had it up for like 2 weeks and she's just been pushing the decoy button until today she decided to try something different and pressed the sides. I underestimated her. I'm not sure if I should be proud or terrified.

Parents recommend magnetic locks over Outsmart Flex Lock
We have these and my 15mo can open them easily. The decoy button does nothing except maybe distract for the first couple of days. Honestly, these are a waste of money. Get the magnetic ones that screw on inside the cabinet.
