I need something that my 2 year old can open on her own to get out toys. Does the lid stay open on its own? Thank you.

Yes, it stays open, but only all the way open. Once it starts to close it will fall shut. Laura N. is correct. It is very light weight. Lid would not cause bodily harm, but would startle small child. Kids learn so fast, should not be a problem.

Hello Christy, I have an 18 month old and have some of her toys in this chest. The lid is light weight and stays open on its own. I open it and close it for her because I don't want it to fall on her hands. Hope this helps.

Just Kidding. You can make the lid stay open. I did this morning when I changed the bag.

Yes, it opens up for storage and is hinged so one does not have to completely lift off the lid to open it.

no, the lid does not open. the liquid is in a capsule so that children can pretend they are pouring tea but nothing actually comes out so they can't spill anything.

I own two of these. I think it means that the lid will stay up on its own. It won't close on you when you open it without you closing it.

Yes. I just tried, and if the little black ends of the lid hinges are pushed, the top stays open! Hey! I didn't even know that! Glad you asked.

Yes, she can definitely pull it on her own, my toddler is 4 years old and 30 pounds if that says anything :)

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

No, the "lid" does not stay up after a while but it doesn't go totally flat. My dog has learned how to lift it up with his head and crawl in, so it hasn't been much of a problem. We have the X-Large one.

I don't know what a safety-type lid is. I don't think it slams shut. I think it has some sort of hinges that stop it from doing that. But it definitely doesn't fasten. You could use it for a toy chest or anything. But if you wanted it not to be opened by toddlers when they're by themselves, then this wouldn't be the thing. Starting from ages 2-3 they're probably able to get into it by themselves. I'm not sure there'd be an easy way to fasten it or keep it closed either, other than putting something heavy on top of it. But that would probably defeat the purpose.

I don't have a toddler any more, but if he/she gets smart enough to step on the pedal and the lid will open, so it is possible. I am sure this can be prevented by placing the can strategically. I have never experienced my kids getting into trash 65 years ago. It is a great trash can especially used with Simplehuman trash bags.

Yes! Mine latches fine, the backside of the lid does come un hooked though if the front is not latched, all closed up you should be good as long as your not swinging and throwing it.

No, the yellow lid does not snap into place. It not even a challenge to take off. It's the first thing my baby takes off. I have to hold the yellow top down to just show her the other way to use the toy. If it just gave a little resistance to pull if then it would be more of a challenge.

No, it will not stay open, unless you block it with something. it is very easy to open, one hand is all you need.

No, it does not stay open with the sides upright. You can open it with the sides up but it falls very easily and does not stay up. It is flat when they are playing with the toys and then you pull the strings to close it when they are done playing.

My three year old loves it. Opening it involves a simple-to-push button. I think a two year old could open it but maybe not close it on his own.

yes it does. The pink rectangle below the handle flips up. It closes well, but opens easily enough for a 2 year old.
