My son loves the diary; the lock is lousy

I replaced the lock with a better quality combination lock. Other than that, the diary is great, and my son loves it.

While this is extremely cute and made out of durable plastic like most Step2 products, I was extremely upset to see that the bottom of the refrigerator catches on the little notch below it and is hard to close. My 2 year old can't close it all the way because you have to push on the bottom left hand corner to close it. This kinda drives me nuts. The rest of the kitchens works as expected and is great for my two year old. I love that you can personalize it by adding a picture.

I wanted to get a lock that I could put on any journal or smashbook that is personal enough to keep locked.
If this is not just a flub on the one I received then beware

The way they have this set up to attach to the book is bad.  The lock I would like a better way to fasten it to the book first of all (other than 2 pieces of adhesice) but the really pathetic part is that the other side of the 'ribbon' that doesn't ahve the lock & goes on in back, well HAS to be affixed to the BACK of the book not the INSIDE back the way the adhesive is, so one way or another you are just better off without it as the lock can be easily pulled off.

VERY disappointed with the company manufacturing of the product, for a company they usually produces what I would consider if ot TOP LINE products then they would be tied or a 2 & 3/4  as I have never had a problem with their products (unless like with my mini 3-d smash book stole them out of it but that wasn't the company's fault) .

Can lock my stuff inside where they need a key to open it but part of the safe book came off the side of the book but putting super glue would do the trick

My daughter recorded the password then closed the journal then tried to open it again but it couldn't open so we had to reset it.

Beautiful bag, but I had to return it because the lock is not working.

The lock jammed and wouldn't open within 5 hours of my nephew receiving it - birthday fail. The inside was cool, compartments were spaced well. Lock is garbage though.

Great idea. Lots of fun for my 11 year old but the actual journal inside itself is disappointing in size and quality. Would still buy again though as he concept is so cool

I really like the look of this little suitcase. My 10 month old really likes climbing on it and it can fit A LOT of his clothes. I also like that you can lock it so it doesn't come open. The only problem I've had is that one of the latches pops off fairly frequently. It's easy to put back on, but a little irritating.
Update:
After having this for over a year I am replacing it. Honestly, both latches popped off EVERY SINGLE TIME we used it. I still think it's super cute and has a lot of space for packing, but man are those latches annoying.

My 6 year old, who doesn't have the best handwriting, desperately wanted ta journal.  I lucked out with this one.  The lock diary is not thief (or brother proof) but it's good enough.  The design is great and the packaging perfect.  The lines in the journal itself aren't college ruled or Pre-K wide.  JUST the right amount of space.

She loves this.

I purchased this for my son for his bday and added pictures in the pages prior to wrapping it. He loved it.  Hours were spent by him and his brother reminiscing about each photo.  The holder is good but the pages inside are flimpsy.  I wish they were better quality.  Also some of the pages arrived bent.  The holder will fit on a mantel or table.  We have ours on the bottom tier of a side table at our lake house and it is picker off often to show guests what they have caught at the lake.

This kit was cute and our 9-year-old son loved it. The robe fit him perfectly but the latch they included was total junk. It broke the first time he put it on. We had to use a safety pin. Otherwise it was worth the money.

I bought this for my son since from an early age (since he could grab) he liked to try and write. I thought this would be perfect to teach him his alphabet and letters and there's a blank page where he could scribble over the front with nothing to obscure it in the background. He loved it. Soon he learned how to open it and switch the pages. However, he also wrote on the pages and put the back so now the inside has a red tint. I tried to put a wipes in there to clean it but since it is so thin, it was impossible to get it all. My only real complaint about it. It should have been realized that the kids might scribble and put it back and could have created a lock mechanism that could open it completely. I know, he should've been watched with it, but when it happened, my mom was babysitting and hadn't even noticed until I pointed it out when I got home.

I was very disappointed.  The lock was a purchase for my daughter's locker at school. She was very excited about receiving it.  The lock is fun to look at, and the combination is easy.  It was on her locker for a week when another student presumably changed the combination. It couldn't be figured out, and the janitor had to cut it off.  This is a pretty pricey lock to have cut off after only a week.  My daughter is very disappointed.  I think we'll stick to traditional locks from now on.

It's adorable. As described. I got all three sizes. I like this one a lot because it is the size of a breifcase/cosmetic case. BUT.... the locks jammed on second trip. Our passports were inside. It took an hour to find someone in the airport who could break it open (with a screwdriver) after my own unsuccessful attempts with what I had on me. I had to just strap it shut for rest of international trip. Then the small strap that holds on top of larger piece broke. The two others- the medium and large have held up longer. The locks are poor quality. Easy to not line up right. But I still like them in terms of style and use for shorter trips (1 week with no super bulky clothes works for the medium and large together).

Even when it's in the "locked" position, you can still open this safe without a key. At first I thought I just had a bad safe, so I contacted their customer service and they sent me a new one, but it also had the same issue. I believe this safe model has a product defect. Even when locked, just pull the handle all the way up and it will pop open. Not very useful if trying to secure medicine from older kids/adults. It should do the job with younger kids.

My 10 year old son bought this to use as a journal, and the first time he "set" the lock, it seemed to lock up permanently. He knew the combination, but it didn't work. However, the seller refunded us promptly, for which we are grateful.
