Can the lid be easily opened by kids?

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.

the lid locks well if properly installed. but a smart five year old could easily remove it.

Yes I would think so, as long as you don't lock it. Our 2 year old can open it when it isn't locked.

Knowing toddlers, there isn't much they CAN'T get into. However, this bin is pretty sturdy. I do not believe the lid can be ripped off, or the can tipped over. My only question would be the step-on lever. He may find that fascinating, but may be too difficult for him to push down. Being stainless steel, it wipes clean nicely. I would recommend this one highly. Good luck

I use it to bring my oatmeal to work. I eat out of it directly. It is pretty easy to open for me, I am not sure how old the kids are maybe not below 6/7 years old? I keep it closed tight so there is no spill and didn't have problems opening it after. Hope it helps.

Yes easily by my 4 years old boy & 5 years girl . However if they touch the liquid inside it , thet will smell bad .

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!

I think with enough training and a little strength, a 4 year old may be strong and smart enough to do it. I have 4 yr old nephews I think I could teach how to open it. I doubt they'd figure out how to do it on their own.

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 :)

Yes, the lids are easy to remove. My daughter is in kindergarten and she is able to remove the lids just fine without help.

Yes, very easily. When its engaged in door slightly open position, there is about 1-4 inches of play, so kids can't open and can't crush fingers. An adult can reach up, tap the device so that it swings on hinge and disengages. Then when the adult swings the door in what would be a closing motion, the unit re-engages. You can disengage easily with one hand, allowing you to carry something in the other.

The other answer is correct......you should know that if you have a strong child or one older that 2 they can still open it easily.

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.

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

Yes, very easy to open for anyone. It clicks to secure the top, but there is a lip at the edge that is easy to push up.

I think that most 5 yr. olds could open them. They are easier than my containers made by a well known brand.

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
