A problem I see with my four year olds is the blades of a plug are still hot when pulling the plug out and their fingers will fit in that space. Good thing they grew out of messing with plugs and outlets, I was considering bubble covers for a while. I think making some kind of switching device in the outlet would be good, however I think it would required major changes to the outlet and blades and would never happen. Maybe if the hot prong was deeper so it disconnected sooner.
here in utah they do use switch receptacles/ the top being hot and the bottom being switched. i still have a hard time understanding that one myself on how its wired
