Would this prevent a toddler from getting into the trash?

I don't have a toddler any more, but if he/she gets smart enough to step on the pedal and the lid will open, so it is possible. I am sure this can be prevented by placing the can strategically. I have never experienced my kids getting into trash 65 years ago. It is a great trash can especially used with Simplehuman trash bags.

It would make it more difficult, but not impossible for them to get into the trash. A little one could probably still get their fingers under the lid to lift it up, but the can wouldn't make it easy because the user is supposed to step on the foot pedal to lift the lid.

Depends on the toddler...but would most likely slow them down enough for you to get to him/her...It's difficult to open by hand, and needs some pressure on the foot pedal. It is a great trashcan, wide enough that my kids don't miss when emptying plates, and keeps the kitchen looking neat

Great question __ as I wondered this too. No, I don't believe so because it would be in the way of the the toddler's legs. I have a Topeak MTX Rear Bicycle Basket __ which we both enjoy. It is sturdy and can be easily removed and carried like a basket into the store, onto the beach with toys, or books, etc. I recommend a Sunlite Double Kickstand, however, as the bike becomes really top-heavy with a child and a loaded basket!

Yes on both counts. It fits underneath the edge of my countertop (standard height), so it would be flush enough that a toddler could reach. I also regularly stand on the top step to do various things. The handle goes back far enough to allow that.

Yes, I believe your toddler could pull it down. I don't think it would cause serious injury as the pole is light weight, but it would probably scare her/him.

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.

No, and you probably wouldn't want to even if you could, it doesn't secure tightly. It is truly for a sweatshirt or things the kids don't want to hold anymore.

A toddler could pull the screen down but it would not injure him. The bar on top is very light and the screen will surprise him but not hurt him.

I would say no because it is rather large and there is nothing to keep a child that small in place. It is perfect for a toddler.

No, it's only silicone and there's no hard shell to completely protect it from a fall. The purpose would be to lessen the impact. I've done a ton of research and could not find anything comparable to an Otterbox type of case for a toddler.

no, it would just be out of reach. It is not the most stable and I can see a little kid pulling it over trying to unhook their jacket.

I would be afraid that a toddler would be able to pull this over if climbed on. While it is steady enough to hold cast iron cookware, it would tend to fall over if climbed on.

They could push or pull it out of place. If they hung on it, it would easily break. It worked to avoid the simple reaching into flames (we have a gas stove) while actively monitoring toddler who knows it's hot and is a bit cautious already.

Knowing toddlers, there isn't much they CAN'T get into. However, this bin is pretty sturdy. I do not believe the lid can be ripped off, or the can tipped over. My only question would be the step-on lever. He may find that fascinating, but may be too difficult for him to push down. Being stainless steel, it wipes clean nicely. I would recommend this one highly. Good luck

I doubt that would make much of a difference. They would probably just tumble and fall sideways or be yanked backwards. If you were to accidentally drag them its probably better to do it from the bottom of the bag than the top since it would pull them to the ground from the top. That being said, I really never used the tether much since I pretty much hold my son's hand whenever we are in busy places and let him roam near me when we are not.

The top of the bag has to be secured tightly In order for the middle of the bag to turn above the diaper. I don't think a regular trash bag would work

No! It's just like a Rubbermaid garbage can. The kid clips down tight. I'd image if it was tipped over it would spill fluids. But they would have to be loose like a can of pop

A stiff breeze will delatch it, so a toddler definitely yes... If that is his/her intention
