Is the button to turn it on fairly easy to push? I want to get it for my daughter who is 3 but want her to be able to turn it on herself.

I'm not sure if your child will be able to push the button with one finger. For a full grown adult its not a problem. Pushing it a couple of times I think you do have to put a little pressure on the button to turn it on. With practice or using both thumbs I think she could use it. I'm really happy with mine and for the people I bought them for but they were all adults. The fact that they glow (not real bright to disturb sleep) is worth trying them out. Good Luck!

The button is moderately hard to push. I am not sure your daughter can turn it on. However, they are great lights to find in the dark or an emergency.

I find the buttons rather easy to push. The pink is a fairly bright neon pink.

There is only one button on the bottom, so I don't believe so. However, my 3 year old and 18 month old are able to turn it on themselves in the dark.

i'm glad you put the age in, she might get a little ancious about the "off/on" switch. it's so small, but the rest would be easy for her to use, the dials roll and it's cute. the time dial would be of no use to her, you need big numbers. bjr

The button is very "tactile" and takes a positive press to turn on. When I carry it in a brief case I unscrew the head slightly to prevent accidentally turning it on. Simply tighten to turn on.

It is only on while you hold the button down. While it is easy to press, I would not recommend for an 80 year old. They need to have a button that stays on or off.

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

Hi there, it worked on its own. it came with batteries, so we just on the button, and my gal just started playing on it.

We have only had ours for a few days but my just turned 2 year old really likes it and my 3 yr old absolutely loves it! I really like the push handle and feel like it will help him learn how to pedal. Hope this helps!

Your 3.5 year old could definitely manipulate the suction. There's a button that turns it on and off. There's also a switch that turns the vacuum sound on. My son is 15 months old and loves it. He is able to turn the suction off and on. My niece who just turned 6 also loved it and was playing with it throughout the day.

I tried to set a timer so that it would turn on before my daughter has to wake up. The light has to be turned on with the button each time; it will not automatically turn on via a timer. Which is a bummer if you want to use before actual wake-up time

It was very easy. I just hooked it up to a small switch to turn it on and off when I want to.

It is a little slower to turn on than the previous models, but it protects you from accidental inputs that lose your place. First push and release the center of the large button. Then push and hold the "options" button (about 2-3 seconds). Release it when the screen changes its message and push the center button again. It is a little bit of a bother, but it save so many accidental inputs that cause you a lot more time finding your place again. I shuts itself off automatically once you stop the play or come to the end of a book or album ( in just a few seconds). Saves battery.

My three year old loves it. Opening it involves a simple-to-push button. I think a two year old could open it but maybe not close it on his own.

Pretty easy. The top goes on last and it's pretty difficult to push down. You will need to stretch the legs with your hands while (preferably someone else) pushing down on the top piece. I have 2 of these and each were like that.

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.

Yes the buttons are super easy to use. I have 2 smaller kids (7&9) that don't have any problems using or powering on/off. Superb case-definitely recommend.
