Has anyone's baby figured out how to open it herself? It looks like it'd be pretty easy for a baby to figure out, not different than a pop-up toy.

No, my six year old has a lot of trouble opening it up. You have to press down pretty hard to get it to open up.

My 4 year old son has trouble opening it. He jumps all over the pedal and can't figure it out. You really have to use pressure when opening it.

it takes a good hard press on the foot release to get it to open-more that even a child could do! just wondered if it gets easier with age!

baby has no way to open it. It needs about 40-50 lb of weight on the foot paddle to open the door.

It's actually very secure I think. Some of the adults that have visited us cannot even figure out how to open it. Once my son did get it open by persistently jiggling the gate until it gave way but he has since lost interest in doing that.

no Gave this to my niece and she doubts that a two year old could open it. She is concerned that it would be uncomfortable due to the child's inability to sit up inside. That may keep your little one from wandering. Good luck.

I would say the toy is too young, my daughter (who I got it for) is now 2, and she will push the button and play, but not really for very long. But if it's a new toy to them, they might. Just my opinion.

I don't think they will be able to easily open it. It needs to be lifted up in order to open and it is pretty heavy for a child. I have a 3 year old and there's no way she can open it.

Ours came off pretty easy too. And it think the more its taken off and on the looser it gets. My daughter has never been real interested in the toys on it anyways so we eventually just tossed it!

It actually slides open instead of pulling it open. It took us a bit to figure it out too!

i didnt set it up. i bought it to use for my infant. it was too complicated to set up, so i sent it back and bought a pop up type.

My honest opinion, yes. It is not that hard for children these days to figure it out. Especially, if they have seen you open it. I hope my opinion helps :)

Sherry, If you are able, I would keep it out of reach of small children. To get into it, you would usually use the " key" that simply turns something that looks like a flat head screw on the bottom of the unit . One twist opens the lock and then you turn the unit right side up, press in on the latch and open it. Sometimes it doesn't easily open so I try again, but usually it will open relatively easily. The difficulty could be compared to a prescription bottle with a safety cap- and we know some kids can figure out how to open those

Ha HA! I had a dickens of a time trying to figure that one out. My daughter did in the car, and I never quite knew how she did it until I watched her. You have to flick the sunshine soft toy with the mirror pretty hard. Like a quick tap, but firm. It took me about three weeks to figure it out! But at least my child could do it easily!

You just gotta keep twisting it and it will pop open. I had the difficult time trying to open it as well. :) hope this helps.

its a little tricky but you just pull down on the top. Its just that it really sticks the first few times. I was afraid I was going to break mine but a brave friend just pulled hard and it opened. Good luck!

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

You do lift up and slide a tab - pretty hard to open even for some adults but my 7 year old nieces can open.

It is a bit hard to open, so give it a good pull. Hope that helped and you get it open.

It's a latch kind with no screw. It seems pretty hard for a toddler to open but I don't have a toddler yet so I may be underestimating their craftiness. I love it for my infants car seat.

Hi,We never did it though. My kid has to give up on this toy because it stopped working only after 3 months. Believe it or not, during that 3 months we had to send it to the vendor because it was broke. It was in my opinion a waste of money...
