What about babies/toddlers? Can a little one's hand get into this trap?

Yes, easily. The sticky pad is wide open for touching. There is another flea trap on Amazon called Springstar and I would recommend that one instead. It has a grate over the sticky pad so it's far more kid friendly.

THe two pieces of the butterfly top close relatively slowly so there would be ample time to put fingers in, see the top closing and pull them out. Also, its been awhile since I've been around toddlers so I don't recall how tall they are. The large version of the butterfly may be too tall for a toddler to reach the top?!

There is a knob that screws on through the bars of the crib. It is very secure, until they can reach it and pull it down.

I would say yes bc how often do you actually catch your child before it gets squished into their diaper. I wouldn't CD without this. I've tried and it wasn't pretty.

Honestly, we have this item attached to our crib that has been converted to a toddler day bed, but it's definitely a safety hazard if your are the overly cautious sort. It isn't installed properly (we had to use zip ties!) and It's almost but not quite as long as the crib itself- which means there's the slightest possibility their head/neck could get stuck. We have it on our 2.5 y/o's convertible crib but it's definitely not a great fit.

That is a nice little side benefit. It doesn't make it impossible, so a determined kid (especially a tall one) could probably still get out, but it certainly makes it more of a challenge. They simply can't freely throw their legs up like they can without one (though, the kind without feet holes are even more effective.) Our 26 month old hasn't gotten out yet and I would attribute that, at least in part, to the fact that she still sleeps in one. She will likely get a toddler bed before ever climbing out of her crib (she still sleeps well in it, so we haven't felt compelled to transition her yet.)

My great nephew just turned 1 on aug 5th. He cannot climb out at this point. I'm thinking the child would need to be 2 or 3 before he/she can climb out

Our 1.5 year old son figured it out unfortunately. There is two locks and he was able to get past the first easily and the other took him a little bit longer. I still recommend this because if the toddler can get past it then he can probably go somewhat safely up the stairs.

The action required may be difficult for someone with sever hand arthritis but for a young toddler it would be difficult. My 34 month old granddaughter has not figured it out, although she does not try any more because the plastic knobs now symbolize "do not enter". I suggest that a preschooler, let's say 4 yo, could easily remove the knob cover, because by that age, they have the hand strength, coordination, and hand-size required.

Infants, probably. Toddlers, probably as well but not a guarantee. The top is not that deep but even just a little piece of tape on it might make the baby move on to something less challenging.

Requires a slight pressure down to turn. Think this is to protect two year olds from themselves.

An adult can get their hand through it so a child certainly can. It will also be easier to slide off a smaller hand as well.

Not at all, kids/toddlers are far more likely to trip over the base of the door than the bottom plate of this. If you have a toddler that drags their feet chances are you will already be holding their hand as the step through the door since most house doors are raised anyways. As an adult, even If I was clumsy and tripped on this daily, Id rather face that then an intruder in my room. :)

They could push or pull it out of place. If they hung on it, it would easily break. It worked to avoid the simple reaching into flames (we have a gas stove) while actively monitoring toddler who knows it's hot and is a bit cautious already.

In my opinion yes. Younger than that no, because one of ours had the rubber-band that goes around the finger come off somehow and I would be afraid of a younger child putting that in their mouth. I do have a 13 month old and she looked at it for a bit while I held her, but it didn't really interest her.

Yes, it's a pain in the butt. It takes me two hands, which means I can't do it while holding a baby. I end up stepping over it half the time instead... Precarious for someone short like me with a child in arms! It doesn't latch easily... Doesn't line up without jiggling.

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.
