Wow, I do not normally write a review!
Our friends at have been instrumental in assisting us with protecting all of our doors with there There product; is affordable, it is quality made (in the USA) and it is easy to install! Beyond that they offer a 11 year warranty! This is by far the longest warranty that I have found when searching!
We searched online for a reputable dealer and Jamie and Maria were wonderful!
Has anyone else had any experience in purchasing these? Do you have them installed on all doors in the daycare or just classroom doors?

This is a great idea. Do they stay in well without falling off? Years ago, I attended a CPR/1st Aid class and the nurse who gave the class mentioned that she knew of kids who have had their fingers amputated when doors closed on them. Since then, I've drummed it into the kids that we don't touch the doors but I've always worred about the little ones who don't understand yet.Guess I am cheap, I just cut pool noodles and cut a slit in them lol.

Many many years ago when I worked at a center I was bringing my preschool class inside. There was a very heavy door leading from my classroom to the playground - as we were coming in one of the boys put his hand in the door jamb, the door snapped shut with his finger in the door. His finger was in terrible shape. Skin was torn but thankfully nothing as broken (or amputated). I felt absolutely awful, but thankfully he was okay all things considered. This is a great idea.

Yes, the pool noodles work great! My DC room is in the front of the house. When the weather is nice we keep the big front door open to allow the fresh air to come through the security door. I have a rug by the door that children are not allowed on unless they have a parent's hand but I also use a pool noodle. So far so good! I even painted it the same color as my front door so it blended in

The pool noodles work great, and it is getting to be the time of year they are marked down to get rid of at end of season. I always buy a few. The slide on and off the door easily, and at nap time when the doors and windows are open they keep the breeze from slamming the doors shut and waking sleeping littles.

I spoke with the member. While this is an advertisement but I believe the product would be helpful in helping to protect children and I will allow this thread. My suggestion for OP would be to show some pictures and how they work with caption. OP, use this style only in this thread. Please do not continue to start new threads or posts. 
Two recent lawsuits regarding finger injuries resulted in settlements of $725,000 and $600,000, respectively. NOTE: In neither of these instances was the finger lost...both were successfully reattached. Finger Shield Door Hinge Guards could have AND WOULD HAVE prevented this accident. Finger Shield Door Hinge Guards reduce your liability.
