I need something that my 3 year old will not be able to open or unlock due to having very low windows. would u recommened this product for that?

In my experience, these loosen up after a couple of days. I would not trust them for child safety.

If you tighten it strong enough it would hold up. It might leave a mark on the window frame you clip it on if you tight it hard. But I would recommend to put multiple security measures on low windows. Even 3 year olds outsmart us grown-ups sometimes very well. But they easy loose focus if there are more than one obstacle in the way.

I don't think a 3yr old would be able to open windows with this lock. you tighten them and them push down the clamp.

A 3 year old shouldn't be able to open the window with these fastened tightly. I've almost busted my window forgetting they were on. As far as unlocking...you have be able to pull the lever up and twist to remove. Hope that helps

Absolutely! These are the best. You can place them anywhere on the frame so you can still open the window a little. I put them on all my windows in the kids rooms so I do not have to worry.

The thingie on the end (yep, I'm mechanically inclined!!) can be pretty tight if it is fitting tightly on the place you're putting it. I'm not sure if a 3-year old could unlock it or not (my son is now 25 and I don't remember back that far!). Also, putting it at the top to stop the window from opening may be enough height to keep it out of reach. To be honest, I'd give it a try, maybe start with one and see what you think. I just know I feel secure in my house alone, with my windows open to let air in and not worry that someone can get in. I love these!

Hi - if you pull hard enough on the small white hinged lever, it will unlock fairly easily, so I would not recommend this product as a childproof option. Maybe a bar-style lock will work better for this purpose?

Maybe for an older child or one that is not mobile yet. It is not very sturdy, my children 2,6 & 8 made quick work of the one we had in the laundry room. Little ones can tug the top down, older ones can rip the tiny screws from the wall just in opening it.

I agree with Mr Simmons... too thin. Unless you folded it, which you will unless your windows are huge... There is probably foam you can buy for this purpose

You may want to check out the transparent film sheets that stick to your window. They come in all different patterns and I had one up for 12 years before it fell off. People cannot see through them and they have some pretty patterns. Not sure exactly what they are called, but that should work.

If I'm thinking correctly of what your windows are...I think you would have to take it down each time you open them. But, it has velcro and is very easy to take down and put back. I got an extra strip of velcro and use it in a Different spot when i need to. (Before I just buy another one)

The child and age of child would be a consideration but my 3yo hasn't even attempted as far as I know. It would be very difficult in my opinion. We never open them when he is in the room. Since he can see through them, he probably hadn't seen any need to try. I feel very secure with them.

It should work great, I just tried it with 3 windows and a doorwall all open and you could still see it.

He might be able to get out if he's 3". I'd wait to get this product until he's a bit bigger. Also note some of the challenges with light set up. This one is made of PVC so setting a light on top isn't a good idea. It needs to be mounted so it's not so close to the plastic.

We use it for school closely supervised. I would not give a computer to a 5-7 year old but if you did, this would be the one so that when they brake it, it was not expensive. Consider what you want them to do with it (Please not surf the net) and maybe consider a Kindle fire or Samsung Tab or the like and then absolutely buy an Otterbox to protect it. We have all the above and we home school, 4 kids 2-10 use them but only supervised.

Its more for windows, it has a suction cup to attach. I guess you could come up with a way to attach if you wanted.

That is correct. Make sure you buy one that is shorter than the max height of the opening of your window. If your area has a lot of bugs, make sure you get something to close all the small nooks and crannies. If you don't have built-in window screens, all these products are a pain in the ass.

I'm getting one for my two year olds room. plan on positioning it behind a dresser so most of it is covered up, but if by chance he does touch it, then he will learn real quick to never touch it again. There are a whole lot worse things in a house that are much more dangerous than a little heat. It's not life or death.

My Little Guy is three and loves the InnoTab. The innoTab has a huge assortment of programs in varying age ranges. I think at the age of 8 I might start my Little Guy out on the laptop though and keep a close eye on him. That's just my opinion though.Leslie

You can set it so that the interior doors won't set it off. Yes. And the windows can be open, yes. Make sure that you can get your money back in case you can't get it to work for your home. I feel it works for smaller homes better. And you have to play with the sensitivity a bit to get it right but it should be worth it.

It would help. It depends on the size of the toddler. Also, if the toddler squeezes in between the wall and the door they could close it. These are really nice units. We really like them.

I used them to secure sliding class windows from being opened. It may depend on how your mount is anchored. I suggest you contact the seller and ask them.

My daughter is 3.5 and it's great for her - I think it will work at least up until she's 5. She does have to crouch to get in the door but she doesn't mind and she can stand up once she's inside.
