Would this be suitable for a kid? Could it be considered tough to open or close for a 6 year old girl?

I think so. The button to open.it is fairly easy. She may just need help opening and closing when adding liquids. Twistng the cap on and off.

I don't have personal experience with this, but I would assume that you should be able to teach your little girl how to use it. She might need to use both thumbs to push the button to release the lid. She should be able to push the lock over to lock and unlock. The lid itself is very easy to operate. It should work for her. The bottle width is more narrow than standard water/coffee bottles. She should be able to hold it with both hands without any issues. If you decide to put hot drinks in the bottle, might want to make sure it is somewhat warm to room temperature, because the bottle does retain the heat very well. I have been using this with cold drinks, and I drink it out of a straw. I don't have personal experience with this, but I would assume that you should be able to teach your little girl how to use it.

My 6 year old daughter uses it every day. She has no trouble opening and closing it. The lock keeps it from opening and spilling in her lunch box (as long as she remembers to lock it when she is done).

you are lucky Amanda because I have a 6 year old granddaughter who demonstrated to open and close the bottle with no complication. Basically click to open and press the cap to close. Don't forget there is an extra lock aside so make sure your girl realize that. I hope this help.....thanks

Yes, you could use this software for a 6-year old. It has the option of choosing the level of what is being read and gives you the ability to load things your self. That being said, I would not use this for a 6-year old. The program requires consistency and dedication that most (pretty much all) 6-year old children lack. Just you asking the question demonstrates that your child might be exceptional. I would still not do this.

I think it would be great for kid's games. Good product, a little touchy to open. Probably be full of kids having a ball.

My 7 & 8 year old girls can ride this fine. They are smaller than average for their age though. If your 6 year old is really tall it might be tight. But otherwise should be fine :)

No, my six year old has a lot of trouble opening it up. You have to press down pretty hard to get it to open up.

I can't say for sure if a 4-year old can open it. I can tell you that my almost 3-year old cannot, and that it is hard for me to open. In fact, it is the hardest gate to open of the 3 we have. It is also quite noisy.

I think it would be too much for a 5yr old to handle. Sometimes there is a pressure built up with hot liquids that make it seal tight and its hard to break. I have "morning hands" where I don't have full strength in my hands when i wake up and I sometimes need my husband to open it for me.

The gate works well for us and even my 48 year old husband has a bit of difficulty opening it. Honestly, it would probably be quite difficult for either child to open but not impossible. The latch is a basic lever type latch. You push the lever down and a claw latch opens. You still have to maneuver it out of the eye hook that it is in. So, it would be difficult, but a determined four year old may eventually get it. I have to say that it's worth the try. It is a great gate and you can remove it from the eye hooks if you want to take it down for a bit.

The box says 6+, but it has some complexities and can be a little frustrating, so I think it would have to be a pretty calm & collected 6-year-old to use it! 10+ might be a more realistic age.

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

You do lift up and slide a tab - pretty hard to open even for some adults but my 7 year old nieces can open.

No but it's not really easy to open for a child you probably can put a lock on it and you'll still love it

It is not hard to open, I can open it with one hand while holding the baby. My 8 years old has no problems either. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. I gave this to my Granddaughter when she was 5, and she has taken great care of it. We have had many a tea party. It is pretty thick porcelain so I was not too concerned with breakage. I think that your 6 year old, would really enjoy it.

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

I would say NOT for a child that young. A 7-year-old would more than likely find it too much of a challenge and become frustrated.

I feel it would work fine for the 4 year old. We bought it for our 3 year old granddaughter. As for the 6 year old, probably would depend on the size of the child and "how much" pillow do they want. It would work great for a travel pillow like the ad says if the 6 year old doesn't like it. Ours loves it and even her little head sure doesn't take up much of this smaller pillow even so now that I say that, the 6 year old should like it too!
