Does the lid latch in case the bucket is bumped or, heaven forbid knocked over?

It latches slightly when it was new. I think if it fell over the contents would spill out. We put cat litter in the bottom and the cat litter weighed it down sufficently enough that we didn't worry about it tipping.

Yes it does. The lid also works on regular five gallon buckets in case the first one flies out the back of your truck...like mine did. But if you use a different five, you will probably have to saw off the strengthening rim around the side. Overall the lid goes on well and basically snaps into place. We always have cat litter in it for absorbance. Don't fill it too full. We only use it for one night. It was a good buy and worth the money

Yes, tho not like air or water tight, so I'd not leave it knocked over long or kick it around, but it doesn't leak or spill with a bag in it if bumped or knocked over.

The lid snaps down and should not leak. (Haven't tried it, though a bucket with guck in it shouldn't tip over.)

The lid has two positions - open or closed. It remains open when moved to that position without falling down. Very easy to use.

I feel the shovel locks the ash lid on and keeps pressure on it. My bucket is within a hearth gate, so I really don't worry about it falling.

No problem with mine. Of course if the commode is not level the lid could fall from gravity.

When the lid is on it is spill proof, if that's what you mean. But without the lid, it's just open on top.

No, the lid isn't locked if you don't pushing the pedal. I would say that it is NOT pet proof. If it tips over the lid will swing open. It doesn't take much effort to open the lid.

this was a gift I purchased for someone, but I do not believe the lid will snapped down

No, the only way the lids stay open is to step on the foot pedal. I thought that could be a nuisance but it's hands free and I don't actually find a problem with it. It's a great garbage can.

It has been a few years, since I had a commode for my wife. If I remember right, the lid and seat lift up, and bucket fits directly into support. If it is to difficult for you, might want to ask a neighbor for help.

Yes; with the lid straps installed, the lid will still go completely upright.

Yes, if it gets knocked over or isn't on a flat surface it has a thing on the bottom that shuts it off.

The bucket lifts up out of the frame. I bought this for my mother, it has a very sturdy frame. As far as I know, she has not had any problems with it.

Yes, mine does. There is a stiffness to the lid so it even stays in position halfway open too!

It presses on. There's a little rubber seal and the lid just lifts on and off. We took the seal off of ours to make it easier to get on and off. The lid makes a little "clang" when it's removed.

No, the lid is not secure at all! It is not snug. I've dropped it many times. Very annoying.

Well the lid dies cover securely, but the only problem is the bucket sits slight bit higher on the original commode in the bathroom and that leaves an open area beneath and around the commode. Other than that it's a great seat. I am still using it after 6 weeks of knee operation.

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
