Is it easy enough for a small child to open it?

It creates a vacuum seal, so it might be a bit tough. But what I do is I pour hot water, then put in the hot food, close it up, let it sit for a couple of minutes, then open it again to let some of the main steam out, and then not close it all the way tight. Hope that helps!

It does fit firmly but I believe a child could open it if not too tightly screwed on.It is perfect for lunches!

Yes, I believe it is but I returned my purchase in a few weeks due to a rust spot on the inside of the container. Would not recommend this item. I purchased the Stanley 20oz mug and am quite please with it.

My 7-year-old handles it easily; a younger child might not. Sometimes I personally have to work hard at it, but it's never been "stuck," and I have weak wrists from an old injury. I do tighten it well so that it doesn't leak.

Not really. When it seals, the force to break the seal is probably too much for a child under 10.

My 6 year old can, I'll try it out on my 3 year old tomorrow and update. I believe I have seen him open it before though.

I don't think they will be able to easily open it. It needs to be lifted up in order to open and it is pretty heavy for a child. I have a 3 year old and there's no way she can open it.

Yes it is very easy to open first the zipper then the container itself. Not the small containers though, they would be hard for a 3 year old to open.

I don't think it's supposed to be that hard to open. Mine is very easy to open with little to no resistance at all.

Most likely not. We have to explain how to open it to most adults. It takes a little coordination to open them at first, but they are not cumbersome. I have 4 of them and am very satisfied

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

Definitely easy for a child to open :) sometimes I have to push it back on a little just so it latches but it is so easy to put on even. I have a child who just turned 3 and he can do it!

Hmmm I don't think your 1.5 year old would be able to do it, but your 3 year old might figure it out if they watch you open it a few times and then play with it.

Yes - it is very easy to open with one hand. Simple flick of the thumb does it.

I checked the boxes and I would say it would be easy enough for a preschooler to open and close the lid of the smaller snack box.

I would think it is easy to open and I don't have that much feeling in my fingertips.

Yes, I would say it is very easy open for a 4 year old. It doesn't twist or screw. Only thing I would be sure is to show her how to push it closed tight otherwise it will fall open if dropped or turned on it's side.

My 1 1/2 year old can get the smaller ones open after some hard work the bottle one is a little harder but for a 4-5 year old it's the perfect size and they should be able to open it. It's really secure I haven't had any leaks and the tops are a flexible hard plastic.

Yes I would think so, as long as you don't lock it. Our 2 year old can open it when it isn't locked.

I don't believe it would even be possible for a child to open the bottom. It seals very securely!

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.
