are two container lids hard to open for kids? I bought a thermos food jar for my son. But it is very hard to open the lid.

I understand about your concern. I think it depends on your son's age. There are no lids and you don't have to close it so tight. Hope that helps.

I think that most 5 yr. olds could open them. They are easier than my containers made by a well known brand.

I would suggest you contact the Chillwarmer team. They have great customer support !!My son lost his fun jar's lid within two weeks of its purchase. I contacted the them and they sent me a replacement lid. Thank you Chillwarmer team !!

My 1 1/2 year old can get the smaller ones open after some hard work the bottle one is a little harder but for a 4-5 year old it's the perfect size and they should be able to open it. It's really secure I haven't had any leaks and the tops are a flexible hard plastic.

I have not had this problem (yet). The reason that I bought this model was that the write-up claimed that the lid was "easy to open". I'm disappointed to hear that you are having this problem. If you do get it to open, apply the silicone o-ring lube to the threads also. This will help prevent them from seizing in the future.

My five year old can get it open, but my 3 year old cannot. Hope that helps!

I have bought several and they are pretty inconsistent with the way the lids fit. One of mine is so tight my kids can't open it, the other is super loose, and the third close to just right. I would not chance it in two of mine, the third one might handle for soup....luck of the draw you might get one with an ideal fit.

It is very odd to open I had trouble when I received mine also. Instead of using the lip on the lid, grab the smooth sides beside the lip and pull to open.

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.

This isn't an insulated container - it's just metal. I don't think it will keep your kids' food warm, and I also think the size is a little small for a child's lunch. This might be OK if you are trying to keep food cold if you use it with an ice pack.I have some Thermos-brand containers that keep food hot for multiple hours for my children's lunches. They have a Thermos 10-ounce food container that keeps food hot for 5 hours, though there are many other brands. I would definitely look for an insulated container that's meant to keep food warm.

There is a pull tab on the lid that may require a pair of pliers to tear it around and free it from the main part of the lid. Also, I think you have to use a pair of scissors or a knife to get the tear started. It is not easy.

I have heated food in the containers without damage to the lid. However, the lids can get sucked into the container due to the heat differential inside and outside the container. When that happens, it's a challenge to get the lid off.

Yes, it is VERY hard to open. Sometimes I spend minutes trying to unlatch it and almost panic that I can't get my son out. The size of the latch is much smaller than Britax I have had. The other thing is that the straps are too short. My son, who is just 6, cannot wear his winter jacket as he doesn't fit, and he is a skinny kid. Other than the Batman coolness of it, I would not recommend buying this.

We have no problem getting the lid off. Simply open and pull up. Our problem is keeping the lid CLOSED!!!!! Until the oil warms up we have to sit something heavy on the lid so it stays closed!!!!! After the oil warms up it stays shut. Thought I'd like this more than I do actually.

My (Just turned) 3 year old was able to get the lids off, I'm pretty sure food might have flown everywhere if it was in them b/c he did struggle a little.

Sorry...I wish I could help you. My daughter just lost it...I will be buying another one because I loved it so much! It kept food warm. I own another thermos, and the lid is plastic...hope this helps...
