The flush buttons - do they require a lot of force to push? Not sure if my 5 y.o. Daughter will be able to operate it

If she can open a jar that's been tightly closed (already opened the first time) she shouldn't have a problem with strength. It takes a few times to get your finger positions figured out to do the low flush only but it's easily mastered.

I'm sorry I don't have a 5 y.o. handy to test it, but I think she would be OK. It doesn't require a lot of force, certainly not more than I had to exert on the lever of my old single-flush toilet. Kids are often stronger than we think, if she's a bit shy of it at first I think a bit of encouragement would go a long way. Good luck and let me know how she does if you decide to get it!

Not a lot of force, although the larger button should be held down slightly longer than the smaller button. Our 5 year old and 7 year old have never had a problem with the pressure required to flush this toilet.

I guess it depends on the age if the child. It is easy for an adult to push the buttons but more difficult for a small child. My son is 5 and hasn't figured it out.

Do I have to constantly hold the button down to have it spray water? Yes.Also., is the button hard to push?No. My wife do not have any problem with it.

I think that the buttons are on either side. Just check and push every part. As I recall it was not what you usually expect but try pushing and pulling on the sides.

I used it with my 5 year old. The biggest problem I had is the button on the lady bug itself. She realized if she pushed the button the main unit went off repeatedly.

Ours is still attached and working fine. I told the kids up front not to push down hard on it...the on/off click requires little pressure. I'm assuming the broken buttons were the result of to much pressure.

I would say no. She won't be able to press the button. Our granddaughter was 18 months old when she got hers, and she loved it.

No idea, but this is working perfectly, however the buttons are a bit stiff

Just less the button firmly. Mine has worked flawlessly for 4 years now-----good luck

Christopher; yes switch is easy to push with hands. Responds to light pressure, no more than any other push-button switch you may have used. Denny

I would consider them physical buttons, though it takes a very tiny amount of pressure to activate. It works great.

You can push or pull. I was doing both. I had my 1 year old in it and he loved it. Works great.

it does take a little pushing effort but i think it's normal and i don't adjust it often. the company would know better than any amazon purchaser. i would call them before returning it.

No. Buttons are very small. I have small hands and the controls are not easy to manipulate. If she has bad eyes stay away from this one.

At that age I'd say possibly. My 5 year old doesn't quite have the strength to push the red button. He weighs 45 pounds

We have no issue with ours pushing. In fact easier than our last one. Check the bottom to see if you can find anything that would impede performance or call the MfG customer service for assistance.

I'm really not sure but my 7 year old daughter has no problem operating it at all. She loves it.
