Yep, this would be a solution (providing the children haven't got the knowledge or access to the power socket). It wouldn't be a good idea to do anything that might encourage toddlers to go near the socket though!
A lot of modern properties have the power sockets at waist height now, as it's safer for children and easier for those with disabilities or dexterity problems.
I wonder why power sockets were traditionally put at floor level
Again though, you or I would take steps to prevent little ones from gaining access to this material, but it's the ones who don't that are the problem.
Something that doesn't require parental intervention (like being PIN protected) is probably better as it protects children with less responsible parent/s.
