I am trying to find child-safe doorstops. We bought some years ago, but now can't remember where! They are white, one-piece, and have no springs or rubber ends. Anybody know where I can find those these days? I just pulled off all the funky old doorstops in our new house and need to replace them pronto with the safe ones! Thanks. Lori

Drugstore.com carries them -- a 3 pack for $3.99: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=72413&catid=26998&trx=PLST-0-CAT&trxp1=26998&trxp2=72413&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CAT I just did my house, too. Lisa

We bought simple plastic doorstops to replace our springed ones at Lowe's, the giant hardware store. They were in the door section. You can probably find them at Target or a similar store, but they will be with the home improvement section, not the childproofing babyproofed parent

We bought some at Rockridge Kids last year. I don't remember the brand, but it was one of the major ones that makes childproofing stuff. Sarah Lee

While I don't know where to find the doorstops that you referenced, I do know that all of the childproofing literature suggests pulling off the rubber tips and then re-adhering them with Krazy Glue. We did that and it works just fine. Our daughter is intrigued by the doorstops in the house, but is never able to remove the tips. Just a suggestion

You can order these from One Step Ahead (onestepahead.com). I have seen them at Target (from time to time) and Right Start too. Living in a child-proofed house.
