As parents we try to make our homes as safe as we can for our kids. Especially babies and toddlers who may not know any better or their curiosity just gets the best of them. The American College of Emergency Physicians states that children under 5 have the highest rate of finger amputations in hospital ERS, 75% of these are young children getting their fingers caught, jammed, or crushed in opening and closing doors. That is is a scary statistic for me. I’m a mom of 4 including a 4 yr old and an 11 month old.
I do my best to baby proof. We’ve had cupboard locks in the kitchen for years. As soon as they start crawling the baby gates go up. I’m constantly nagging my kids about leaving small parts and toys in baby’s reach, and I installed corner guards on all the furniture corners I thought baby could possibly bump into. Short of locks on doors, and keeping certain doors in the house closed, I figured we were pretty safe. After reading the statistic in the first paragraph, I was glad I found Pinch-Not Bumper.
Pinch-Not door bumper is a door safety device to prevent little ones from pinching their fingers in opening and closing doors . The one I received is meant to go on the side where the door knob is. It prevents the door from shutting completely and leaves a gap about 2 inches wide so there is plenty of room. Even if the kids are playing and one accidently slams a door on the other they’re not going to pinch their fingers. This is super easy to install. It doesn’t require any doors at all and seems like it would fit just about any door. I did a short 2 minute video to show you just how Pinch-Not bumper works and how you install it.
Pinch-Not makes other door safety devices too. As I mentioned in the video, they also have one for the side of the door by the hinges. That gap you get when the door is opened then it disappears when the door is closed, yep they make one for that side too. I love the one I received. I love that you can flip it so if you need to close the door the whole way you can. Very clever design, very well made. I really can’t say enough about this product. This child safety product is reasonable at only $5 a piece.

oh wow, i like this idea,i am sure we have all gone through this or most of us, i know i have seen my grandbabies do it.. thanks for share @tisonlyme143
This is a great item for parents and caregivers. Thank you for your review.
Every home with young kids should have this device installed. Great video, BTW!
I swear, they make everything nowadays! lol Seriously, though, this is a really neat idea. I know plenty of grown-ups that can remember getting their fingers pinched or hand slammed in doors as kids.
How neat! I have a one year old who loves closing doors but doesn’t quite have it down to pull his fingers out of the way yet.
Such a great tool, thanks for sharing!
