Se garder de traduire par «bouchage» ou «fermeture de sécurité» car ces expressions traduisent une relation de générique à spécifique face à la notion anglaise. Il convient de rappeler qu'une fermeture ou un bouchage de sécurité pour enfants n'en est plus un pour un adulte. 5, record 1, French, - bouchage%20%C3%A0%20l%27%C3%A9preuve%20des%20enfants
