Nothing is child proof.

Tamper resistant is as close as you'll get. Look for that.

Basically everywhere.
You should not be even stocking anything else for residential application as replacemets are a requirement also.

No such thing as child proof. As soon as you think you have it, along comes a smarter child.

Sorta like idiot proof; as soon as you have it, along comes a better idiot.:jawdrop:

This was also something that was added in 2008 NEC if I remember correctly, so unless you were in a place that is behind on adopting current editions or doing very little for residential installations since then you probably should have found out about it some time ago.
