Can a 3 or 4 year old unlock it if they are able to climb up and reach it? My son is an escape artist. He can reach anything in our by climbing. :(

I doubt it...He would need to hold/pull the toggle down and open the door at the same time....perhaps if he built a scaffold....the mount is at the very top of the door. Hope this helps....

It would be hard for them to reach at all as it sits inside the top of the door. My 8 year old can't reach it, but could from a chair. Then to unlock they'd have to pull the knob down while twisting. I have two year old twins and they are still far away from reaching it while standing on the chair. So I would say no.

He would have to be able to reach the top of the glass sliding door. Then you have to pull the knob down while twisting it to unlock it.

I would be shocked if he could open it. He would have to be on something very tall. Don't let him see how it unlocks by twisting it.

We have this on our sliding glass door and we love it. If it is installed correctly on the top of the door, unless your son is VERY tall or you have an abnormally short sliding glass door, : D there is no way your son will reach this. VERY good purchase!

It would be very hard but possible. Would have to climb up to the top of the door. Pull down and then twist the pin. Then get down and slide the door. It's not a lock that requires a key so no way to ensure they will not get out.

I think most 2 year olds would be too short to use this and it may be hard for them to maneuver it. My just turned 4 year old has only had the hang of it for maybe 6 mo.

My daughter is 20mo & 34in tall and can't climb out of it although her head does pop out. It has nothing for them to put their feet on to push themselves up. It does have a side window that opens completely if you want to let them get in and out in their own. The side panels are soft and slanted so I would guess it would be difficult.

Mmm... I think it works for kids of 4 years old.He can play finding the animals but I don't think he will understand that he needs to make a secuence.I suggest you the game UNO MOO for a 3 year old kid.

I would be careful with a 2 year old. How much longer before he turns 3? My children were 6 and 4 so my youngest is slightly older but not much. My youngest likes to jump off of EVERYTHING so he loves it!

I think it is unlikely (depending on the age of a child). You really need to know how to do it and have more refined fine motor skills. It has never occurred to my 4 year old (and she tends to LOVE figuring out ways of "un-childproofing").

My 4 year old son has trouble opening it. He jumps all over the pedal and can't figure it out. You really have to use pressure when opening it.

No, they should not be able to unlock it. We have an infant but the lock looks very secure.

My 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.

I find this product pretty high. When my 4 year olds want to play on it I need to help them get on it as they cannot reach the higher side.The issue for your 3 and 5 year boys might be weight distribution, having the 5 year old controlling the up and down movements.Eventually kids today outgrow almost anything rather quickly. My kids after almost two months still likes to play on it but not on a daily basis.

I dont know about easily, but my 6 yr old has no problem. Also, my almost 3 yrs old figured out how to open it today. It takes a fair amount of strength to lift and open.

It would surprise me if a 7 year old could lift and manipulate the ladder and support arms without dropping it out of the window. This is of course my opinion and does not factor levelheadedness, fear or adrenaline. Primary problem is that this system is not designed to test, for confidence. It is a one use device. Training a child to feel confident would undoubtedly require multiple repetitions. That's my spiel. In a word I'd say no.

It might be a little advanced for that age. Our younger grandson is 6. I can't remember if he was able to "get it" or not, but the 8 year old did fine.

I can't say for sure if a 4-year old can open it. I can tell you that my almost 3-year old cannot, and that it is hard for me to open. In fact, it is the hardest gate to open of the 3 we have. It is also quite noisy.

My grandson is 18 months and a climber but does need a little assist getting up on platform. He does fine coming down slide which my daughter in law placed the end of it in kiddy pool. At this age

We actually used this at a church event with several age ranges of kids from 4 years old to 4th grade. The youngest that could do this without a lot of assistance was about 6. The 4 & 5 year old children needed more assistance. This is a generalization, of course, but that's about the youngest that played with it and had any interest. The box lists choking hazards for children under 3 so we didn't have those children at do it. My 8 year old daughter actually got very good at this and wound up helping the younger ones. All of the kids older than 6 could figure it out pretty quick and enjoyed playing with it.

The only reason it would get "stuck" would be because you lost (can't find your key). They send two keys (by the way). That's the idea - it's "stuck" until you (the owner) unlocks it.
