Is there a way to secure this to stay open? My son had this almost collapse on him earlier!! Thinking about sending this back as it seems unsafe?

I haven't had this problem, BUT I can see where it would be a problem. I guess you'd have to anchor the poles into the ground. Even that wouldn't be a guarantee.

People say that gluing the poles together helps, but I gave up and I put it away until the summer to use on the beach.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I believe it locks when you set it up. If not, then somewhere on the poles that connect the wheels. I gave it as a Christmas present and I don't recall how to lock it but I do know that it shouldn't fall when the child pushes it. My niece even sat on it and it never collapsed. Hope this helps!

If you install it not quite vertically aligned, with the top bar tilted towards the side of the room you want the gate to stay open, it will stay open due to gravity. To shut it you'll have to push the gate to catch the bottom latch, but the top gate latch may not close then. A child will not be able to open the gate, because you have to lift the door to disengage the bottom latch. I just installed it yesterday and it does not close. I intend to correct it today though, as it is not recommended.

Net is not only hanging from the bar, but also attached to door frame with velcro. So even if he pulls down on it it's not going to collapse on him. Plus the bar is rather light, so I would not worry about injury.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

It pops off on the sides. Maybe take it off and try to open it that way!?! Hopefully that helps. It's a wonderful travel system.

Hi! The tension should keep it up. Othwerwise, the astronauts need to perform some in space repairs (perhaps a tiny clothespin or paperclip might help?) ! How frustrating to have it keep falling!

It should open vary easily by grasping crossways with your fingers, pulling one section down and one section up. It comes apart when my two year old grabs it so maybe your has a defect and it is stuck, if you can't get it apart.

Please don't, it comes lose on fall on head, regardless of how much you tighten it. Spend a little bit more money and get something secure that will not crack open your childs skull.

Mine has managed to escape out of it once when I first put it on him, think I may have had it a little loose. But I have also seen it stop him literally in mid air the next time he was spooked. Just depends on how tight you have it on him. The velcro is super strong.

Dear Carl,SentrySafe provides tools to fix this safe to the wall. It will be from the back to what I noticed. I did not see any provision for fixing it to the floor.Thank you,B. M.

We haven't done this because I really value the super sturdy nature of the design. We always have at least two kids in there and our huge 7 year old (78 pds!) always leaning over the side. He is so tall he probably doesn't need to be in it but refuses to get out, etc.

As it is screwed down I would assume that it would stay shut, my grandson has not been able to loosen it and he plays hard with it.
