Can this be used by pressure mounting and if so, can a toddler knock it over?

We have it pressure mounted at the bottom of the stairs. Neither the 3 or 5 year old can dislodge it, even when they (against orders!) Swing on it. I think I could if I tried really hard, but it would take a series of strong kicks.

No this is not made to resist being knocked over. you need to get something more secure from Petsmart that is made for cat and dog food.

No I don't think it would break but depending on the age of person using it. I would be worried about it getting bumped off.

I have 30lb toddler and he cannot get his leg over the bar to climb on it but he has learned how to knock it over and play with it sideways sometimes then pull it back over. This was just towards the end of the year not when we first got it last year since he was only 1 then. I have to say with all the dragging and knocking over it still looks great and no damage.

If it can with stand a toddler pushing on it and not fall off I think it would be fine it just depends on how hard you will be putting force on it.it has these patches on the underside of it that are of some sort of rubberish material that has little grippers on it. My son (about 30 lbs when I used it for him to transition his to his high full size bed) would push on it pretty hard and it never fell off. Plus you put it under the fitted sheet and that also helps to keep it on. With that being said I never had an issue with the sheet coming off either but I buy sheets for a double that are about $80 so I would invest in high quality sheets, if you don't already have some.

It doesn't seem to me that the side railings makes it less/more sturdy. It's just for toddler to not fall out. So if you don't put one of the side railings on it should be ok, you'll just see the screw holes.

Probably not safely. It needs a pretty sturdy surface to mount. You screw te base and back together an sandwich the side of the crib. The pressure holds it tight.

It is fairly sturdy however there may be a possibility for a tear or puncture with that much pressure if you are not careful. Had my grandkids on it with no problem except for them almost knocking the supports down �

You CAN mount it with just pressure, but I found it worked better if screws were used.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's not extremely heavy, but I doubt that push pins would be enough to keep it from falling. (Unless you get those really hard-core push pins that are like little nails)

Yes. I have 3 of these. They r bulky but very light. My 2.5 year old can easily do it.

It is sturdy...we sit on top of it to put on our shoes. It will depend on what type of floor it will be on as to whether it can be pushed around. However, it is heavy but nothing is toddler proof.

It could probably take being knocked around a bit, but isn't particularly weight bearing. 30lbs is a bit much, if applied with 3yr old reckless disregard.

Yes it can be pressure mounted. However, it will not be nearly as secure as using the mounting hardware.

Yes, I believe your toddler could pull it down. I don't think it would cause serious injury as the pole is light weight, but it would probably scare her/him.

Yes it will withstand some pushing and pulling depending on the age of the child. My daughter is 22 months old and we have it at the bottom of the stairs. She sometimes hangs on it trying to climb over it. My 5 year old also climbs over it to get upstairs and it holds up. One time it did fall down when my 5 year old was climbing it so I re tighten it weekly. It has also held up with two 22 month olds hanging on it.

It definitely will not knock over because of sturdiness and really good quality plastic. But anyway it's purposed for kids, and unfortunately not for adults (suppose that pre-production quality checking, with simulation of standard use, pressure and level of breaking, was made using kid's weight). At least it will work only for sitting on it, but not for standing on. Hope you will find something with similar quality )))
