I can see they have buttons/switches, are they easy for young children to mess with?

I recommed mounting the alarms high enough to be out of reach. Also, you can put scotch tape over the button to prevent it from "accidentally" being turned off. Another tip - if they seem too loud, put a couple pieces of scotch tape over the square/speaker part and it will muffle the sound a bit. These were lifesavers when my daughter learned how to open a door. I am good about locking the door, but not everyone else it good about it. And eventually she learned how to turn the lock, so these really came in handy!

Yes they are really simple to switch and use, it would be best to put them up high out of reach so they can't turn them off/on. :)

Yes, the button is very easy for anyone to mess with. Put the unit high up, as this is the only way to really prevent easy tampering. Take care.

There is just a switch. The item that looks like a big button on the front is not a button. I believe it is just the speaker. The switch is a standard sliding switch. If children could reach it, they could turn it off, depending on their age and the location of the alarm. On doors, these are usually mounted at the top of the door, well out of reach of children in normal circumstances. The alarms are also pretty small (about 2.5 inches long), so they don't attract much attention.

Yes, the slide swich to change from alarm to chime is easy to find location and can be actuated after installing. A curious child may tamper it.

No my 2 1/2 yr old grandson plays with them w/ his 4 yr. old brother just make sure they get turned off, batteries run down fast when left on laying around!!

I would say depending on what things tge 7 yr old is into. If they are advanced in electronic games...Nintendo ds etc...this will encourage their learning skills but like I said b efore, the buttons are hard to push and if they have weak fingers, they may get discouraged. Overall, it is a good product.

Not actual buttons... More like sensory buttons like you hover your finger close to. It's pretty sleek IMO. The menu system is pretty easy to use, not too difficult.

They slide pretty easily. I don't think it will be able to keep your kids off.

Yes, there is a small button at the base that turns these on/off and cycles through colors. They are a hard plastic that does not bounce well. I bought these for my kids (4&6 years old) broke the first time playing with them. Not for kids...decoration only. I'm still looking for something similar for kids.

I think so. I bought it for my younger brother, and haven't touched it in a while, but I remember them being easy to play. The keys aren't as solid/hard as your traditional piano, but definitely kid friendly.

Yes, they're very easy to remove. Too easy, in fact.. my son figured it out in a couple of weeks.

I think these are delicate toys made to be played with delicate hands. Maybe they should suggest this for kids a little older! No problems here.

They are actual knobs that turn and click. Bought for my granddaughter who is now 15 months - she's been actively playing with it for months. Very cute.

Yes, they are incredibly easy to remove. In fact, be sure not to remove it in front of your toddler or they will be able to remove them, too. We anticipate having to move on to a sturdier solution once DD figures this out.

I would not recommend these for kids. These are great for key rings and tools and stuff to hold things together. Over time I feel the wires might start to fray and could cause injuries.

Purchase for my grandchildren 4 and 5 years old. The keys are hard to get off but just like any other key board if you use a knife or screw drive or something of that nature you can pop them off. Just to pick them off no it didn't happen for us and believe me if there was a way my grandson would of figured it out. Hope this helps.

Yes. The latch mechanism is interesting, but if you show your 4 year old how to operate it, it should not be a problem.

The push-to-talk button might be a bit hard for little hands to use one-handed - if they are happy using two it might be ok. You can lock out channel changes so that shouldn't be a problem.

My kids had no problem using them at age 3 & 5. They vary in strength throughout the pack, but most are easy to operate.

My 3 year old son has just perfected removing them by himself. My 4 year old daughter, however, has not figured it out. I've never tried to remove it (my son has always removed it when I didn't want for him to!), but since he's able to remove them, I would say that they would likely be easy for you to remove as well. ;)
