In my previous house I installed these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011WLTCHW/ref=abs_brd_tag_dp?smid=A2DX7ZINFBHZUN
They're actually meant as baby/kid proofing covers but I installed them along with the insulation gaskets and it worked great!
I think they're really all the same. If you have an outlet or two that you regularly plug and unplug things from and don't want to worry about remembering to replace the little covers every time they also make self-closing outlet covers like these.
For my daughter's room, we used outlet covers that slide shut on their own. Plugs can become choking hazards if you take one out and leave it in her reach. We still use the plugs if we go traveling or for grandma's house, but for rooms where she's in all the time we have the sliding covers.
We also used an LED night light. If she ever manages to get it out of the wall there's no bulb to break, and the sliding outlet will snap shut - no exposed outlet left behind.
When she first lost the crib she went on a bit of a crazy spree of the room. We had to remove everything she could climb on or play with in order to encourage her to nap. We even had to unscrew the bulbs in the overhead light fixture because she learned how to jump up and turn on the light (but couldn't turn it back off).
The rule now is one stuffed animal in the room at a time. Everything else - books, toys, changing equipment - comes out of the room when we leave for nap or nighttime. We may be easing up on that rule soon - we think she's starting to give up the nap and will be starting to implement "quiet time" (i.e. just don't bother us for an hour, we don't care if you actually sleep or not).
I just want to point out that officially speaking they do not recommend things like bumpers in a bed until a year due to SIDS and suffocation hazards. You might be fine, but officially it's still a no-no for a few more months.
Also, if you have any heavy furniture on the room, make sure it's bolted to the wall or pull on it yourself and make sure it won't tip. If it has drawers, open them all up and pull - you'd be surprised how easily a squat sturdy-seeming dresser can tip when all of the drawers are opened. I was surprised at mine. Get some locks for those drawers. Your kid will attempt to open up the drawers and he will attempt to climb on furniture.
Some food for thought - people tend to think "oh, I'll hear it if she pulls that shelf down," but the scary truth is that if a child pulls down a big piece of furniture a lot of the time the child's body will cushion the fall and you will not hear it. God forbid your child ever does that in the middle of the night while the house is sleeping.
If you are worried about the outlet being exposed, you can get these covers and the outlet will be safe if he pulls the nightlight out. As far as the nightlight's safety, I have no idea :)
