can my child open this? I want her to be able to get out in case of a fire.

There is no locking mechanism. You slide it under the door when it's shut. If someone opens the door its pushes down on the flap and the alarm sounds.

Yea. It weighs just a few ounces and you can grab it with your hand or kick it away with your foot

If you show her how to lift it up to open - then maybe yes - but if she is just trying to push it open -then no - I hope this answers your question. We have a 16 month old who cannot open this .

Yes u have to pull a button with you're thumb & lift the gate straight up & over to open it. It takes some strength. I don't think a five yr old could do it.

no Gave this to my niece and she doubts that a two year old could open it. She is concerned that it would be uncomfortable due to the child's inability to sit up inside. That may keep your little one from wandering. Good luck.

My 3 year old is just starting to figure it out. He has opened it once, but I wouldn't say it was easy for him. He can close it better than he can open it.

I don't think firefighters will work with this toy. The doors don't open and the windows are rather small. That being said it is my son's favorite toy!

It is true that anyone can open from inside by just turning the handle. We have 2 locks for our little one.

They hinge, so they are easily opened. They can be locked with a pad-lock or held shut with a bolt, so the amount of security vs accessibility is selectable. In a situation where the window could be used for a fire escape you could put a padlock key within reach inside, but out of reach from outside.

You can't unless you break into it. The keypad is made out of plastic so will probably melt in a fire. Whaeevet is inside hopefully well but I am not sure how you will get it out once the key pad melts. Another thing about the keypad is it pops off anf the battery pack dangles behind it. Go buy something else, save yourself the trouble.

An adult could probably get it open. There is peice that slides to let you operate the lever handle. A small child could probably not figure it out.

It is quite easy to open. So probably yes, a 3 - yr old may be able to open these by himself.

Yes. It does open up and is closed with velcro. You should not have any problems using it.

Yes, you can. There is a switch that you use to switch it on or off. And the switch is under a locked cover, so kids can't access it.

Depending on your 6-year old's strength - yes. If you tighten it VERY tight...probably not...but, I would say, a child could open this very easily. If not, I instructed my then-8 year-old to ask an adult for assistance.

I've not experienced a fire but would imagine you would use the key to turn the handle. I've used the key once when the batteries were too weak to open the door and it does turn a mechanism inside.

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 would say no. Nothing regarding that ability in the packaging. Also, there a holes in the back to allow a securing cable to pass through. I'd think fire could reach inside through them.
