Is the lid easily opened? I'm concerned about my little ones opening it up too soon if I'm not nearby.

I would say no. When the lid is firmly attached, you can pick it up by the lid and it doesn't open.

The plastic lid sits down into the base and that's not the easiest to open. There is a little viewing top at the top of the dome that lifts right off though. So they could definitely open that. Lots of fun though. My son and the neighborhood kids really liked this. We had a little release party when the lady bugs were ready to go!

The lid is not tight. It is just meant to be a cover to maintain the heat. It's also very loose at that. If a 3-year-old were to knock it over, they might get burned, if the water contained within the tea cup is hot. I would not have this tea cup around children.

No. However the lid is somewhat secure. But not enough to stop a curious child from opening it

Yes the lid can be lifted off easily. But, there is a opening in the center of the lid for easy feeding.

Yes, this container is easy to open. The lid is made of foil and just pulls back by using the flap on one of the corners of the container. No can opener needed.

I agree when the lid is completely shut it is difficultto open I have used the tip of a table knife and slid it under the edge to gently pop it open. When I take it with me out of the house I don't push the lid down all the way.

I think they are easy, and because the lid is attached, it can't slide or fall off while you are opening it.

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

It's much easier than others I've tried. You push 2 buttons to open. But the baby definitely cannot open it. Sometimes it takes me a few seconds to close because you have to line up the bottom just right, but it really is no longer than a few seconds.

Depends on the toddler...but would most likely slow them down enough for you to get to him/her...It's difficult to open by hand, and needs some pressure on the foot pedal. It is a great trashcan, wide enough that my kids don't miss when emptying plates, and keeps the kitchen looking neat

It is quite easy to open. So probably yes, a 3 - yr old may be able to open these by himself.

I would say it depends on the kid. The lid is pretty wide so I child with small hands may struggle. Also if the child puts the lid on I'm sure they could take it off. For example, If I put the lid on I have no trouble taking it off later. But when my husband puts the lid on, he puts it on so tight that I need the jaws of life to remove the lid, whereas he has no trouble at all.

I understand about your concern. I think it depends on your son's age. There are no lids and you don't have to close it so tight. Hope that helps.

We have not had an issue with it, except for one time when my daughter did not put the lid on correctly (wet bookbag, homework, a huge mess!). If you can sit upright it's safer but if you practice screwing on the lid with your child it should be fine.

Yes it does open easy. However I had a elastic colored headband that I use to keep it closed since it didn't come with one attached

I can't imagine any toddler opening the bottom. I have a 14 month old, so it isn't an issue of interest for him yet, but it is a really heavy duty zip-loc type bottom...I don't see it being a problem.

i haven't had a problem with it not staying open. i have it in my laundry room and the lid stays open all the time.
