Does the top stay open by itself? Important to keep little fingers safe!!

Not sure if top will stay open on its own as I have mine set next to an outside wall of the house which supports it, and we have no small children.

If you open the lid all the way, it will stay open. The top does not lock or brace open, and the top is light-weight - so if a gust of wind comes along, I'm sure it will blow closed. I don't think it will crush fingers, but it would probably scare a little guy.

The top will stay open by itself if you open it all the way. It does not have hinges that keep it open.

Yes, the lid opens up to a little more than 90 degrees from the horizontal.

Yes.. but the top is also very lightweight. I don't think it would break a finger. A kid could definitely push it closed.

Its slam proof. When my daughter opens it it stays open so it wont slam on hands or fingers. You manually push it closed. I love it.

Nope! The top stays on pretty tight. Also, the green part that attaches to the plastic squeeze tube turns to the left to tighten, so when a child takes the orange cap off (which you loosen to the left), they don't also take the green part off (if that makes any sense). We've had ours for about 6 mos. Don't use it every day, but it's held up nicely.

It does not have a lock that you would have to release to lower the top. In the up position the top is balanced past center so the weight of the top holds it open. We haven't had any accidental closures

It depends...do you want to just keep the top from coming open unexpectedly or completely lock it? You could probably install a clasp to make it difficult for small people (kids?) from opening it. I don't see how you attach something to completely lock it though.

Yes- if properly put together it can. My grand-daughter uses it for her "babies" and has no trouble with the lid staying open and only comes down when she puts it down.

There's nothing that holds the lid open. So when you lift it up you need to use your hand to keep the lid open otherwise it will close.

Hello Christy, I have an 18 month old and have some of her toys in this chest. The lid is light weight and stays open on its own. I open it and close it for her because I don't want it to fall on her hands. Hope this helps.

It stays fully open. It will click when it is fully opened and remains in place. We have had no problems with ours.

Yes, it stays in place when u open it; it's very easy open/shut. Just a soft touch pushes it back into place.

There's no latch or anything, but there is a slightly magnetized strip on the cover that keeps it closed. I haven't had any problems with it coming open accidentally.

Mine stayed closed so well I had to loosen it a bit so I could flip it open easier. You should have no problems. (:

My kids are age 6 and 7 so it's been awhile since I've had a baby around but I would have to say yes I mean the little compartments click shut but are very easy to open (I often flip the lids one handed) so definitely NOT child proof in that way you would have to keep it out of reach of the child.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

Yes, it stays open. You have to use the string ties to keep it closed and from popping back open.

The top stays open but does not take much pressure to make it close. I purposely let it close on my fingers. It does not slam shut. It is padded which softens the impact. It did not hurt. I even talked my husband into testing it and he said the same. Also, it is not very tall, which makes falling off a short trip to the floor.

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!
