Is there any way for the lid to be kept open if you're going to be using it a lot &amp; don't want to step on the pedal each &amp; every time?

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

No, the lid isn't locked if you don't pushing the pedal. I would say that it is NOT pet proof. If it tips over the lid will swing open. It doesn't take much effort to open the lid.

The lids open when you step on the pedal at the base of the trash can so, as long as you are pressing on the pedal, the lids stay open.

Hi Joseph you could leave the pedals on but I think it will damage the bag or maybe the spokes if the wheels are close to them. I would remove them!

Yes. There is a button that slides under the hinge to keep it open. There is a brief glimpse of the orange button in the short video on the Amazon site.

It stays open pretty well on it's own. It doesn't come with a built in way to keep it open, but you could probably tie it with a shoelace or a bungee if you're afraid of him accidentally closing it. I'm pretty sure that you could probably take it off somehow, but I never explore that. Good luck!

It isn't as convenient as a foot bar since you have to manually close this lid, but it stays closed without an issue.

The opening can be closed. There is an arm with a stopper for the opening on the lid. Works quite well, too.

I just take off the whole lid off to drink. It is kinda inconvenience. I think they designed the lid like that for keeping the drink hot, not for the shake of drinking. I'm sorry i can't help much... >.<

I have not had trouble. Others have said press real hard on lid, maybe with foot pressure and it should open

The problem with a pedal is it wouldn't seal. I don't clamp the lid down and it still seals all that wonderful smell in. It just became routine to take the lid off before the diaper comes off and then replace it once the baby is dressed (sometimes much later if it is forgotten).

You can close the seat and leave the lid open, or close both together. Both pieces are slow-closing and don't have to be opened or closed together.

Put a dab of oil on your finger and rub it around the rim of the lid and you have your problem solved. Don´t put too much oil so that the lid will not come loose.

Yes, if you lift the lid by hand instead of by foot pedal. it stays 90* open.

I haven't had any issues with the lid coming open. The Velcro is pretty strong and I currently have my bike hanging from my ceiling upside down and the lid hasn't ever opened up even with items in the bag.

The lid is spring loaded and stays open till you manually shut it. Just to be sure I got up and tried to pour with the lid open and I had no problem. Just curious why you would want to do this because the steam could and it did not but could get in your face. I hope I was of some help. I personally have had this for at least a year and I am happy with it. Reg.
