Can my 2 year old open it?

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.

mine does - super simple..... and she thinks it's the coolest thing. Easy to close also :)

My 15 month old has never tried, but they are pretty hard to open (in a good way).

Yes; a toddler would likely be able to open these. They don't seem to shut very tightly.

You would have to rig the lock yourself. The product itself doesn't include any locking mechanism. My 2 year old opens the doors all the time...

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.

Yes ma'am, your 5 year old should be able to open. They lock tight but they're easy to open.

The top does open - has two slow closing hinges. Of course - if he has his hand on the edge and pushes it shut he will catch his hand in it. You can keep it open though and have him/her close it when the toys are put away rather than close it every time he/she uses it. Its a beautiful chest though and you may want to use it for your own purposes and get something that's a plastic toy box versus this.....

I think with enough training and a little strength, a 4 year old may be strong and smart enough to do it. I have 4 yr old nephews I think I could teach how to open it. I doubt they'd figure out how to do it on their own.

I bought it for my two year-old last year (she's now three and a half), and she still loves it. Perfect for a four year-old, I think. Some of the doors are a little stiff at first, but if my three year-old can open them, a four year-old should have no problem.

No but it's not really easy to open for a child you probably can put a lock on it and you'll still love it

The answer is a definite no. The only way your toddler would be able to turn the lock is if he/she the removed Grip Lock. I like the item so well I have bought one for every outside door and the garage door to the house.

It is a great doll house. But for a two year old, I'd be cautious. Most parts are large enough, but there may be a few that could be swallowed. You could probably just take those out, since I don't recall there being very many

A two-year-old will be able to yank it out with any amount of persistence. I wouldn't recommend it. It IS a great mount for use as designed, but not two-year-old proof. ;)

Yes, you lift it to open it, but you have to slide the spring-loaded latch sideways with your thumb to retract a pin before you can lift it. That takes a fairly strong thumb. My guess is a 5 year old wouldn't have strong enough hands, but I don't know for sure.

You can open it but it's very complicated and the bottom part broke off last time we tried.

Yes. It works well for the grandchildren ( toddlers ) but does need 2 hands to open. ( probably my arthritis )

I don't think so, personally. It has a double lock, so they have to twist the locking mechanism and then push it over and lift up the actual gate part to open it. A smart 4 year old would figure it out but, i don't think would be strong enough.
