Will this hold up to a curious toddler? Looking for a bin that my son can't knock over easily or rip the lid off. Thanks!

Knowing toddlers, there isn't much they CAN'T get into. However, this bin is pretty sturdy. I do not believe the lid can be ripped off, or the can tipped over. My only question would be the step-on lever. He may find that fascinating, but may be too difficult for him to push down. Being stainless steel, it wipes clean nicely. I would recommend this one highly. Good luck

It is quite sturdy -- nothing like a plastic trashcan. I did knock the lid pretty hard once pulling out a liner and it popped the lid loose on one side, but it snapped right back into place. Not sure about a kid ripping the lid off though -- but no trashcan will stand up to that.

Yes! It holds up to a large dog who has destroyed every other brand we've tried.

It is sturdy...we sit on top of it to put on our shoes. It will depend on what type of floor it will be on as to whether it can be pushed around. However, it is heavy but nothing is toddler proof.

My son is 3 yrs old and it seems durable for him. We haven't had any problem with it. We never traveled with it, so I wouldn't know.

It was definitely worth it for us. My 17 month old son pushes it around the house on hard surfaces (not carpet) daily. There have been no issues with durability. It also stands on its own just fine. The toy days on is easily my son's favorite and most used toy.

The bottom is fairly sturdy... He does fly to it and it rocks a tiny bit but doesn't seem to bother him. Cups are made out of durable plastic. They'll last. I removed the food one so I'm sure you could attach a toy to that but I took it off. He was flying a lot. Didn't want him to hit that metal sticking up.

My kids are age 6 and 7 so it's been awhile since I've had a baby around but I would have to say yes I mean the little compartments click shut but are very easy to open (I often flip the lids one handed) so definitely NOT child proof in that way you would have to keep it out of reach of the child.

Hello Christy, I have an 18 month old and have some of her toys in this chest. The lid is light weight and stays open on its own. I open it and close it for her because I don't want it to fall on her hands. Hope this helps.

We are currently using this as a diaper pail. The lid does randomly open. It's not going crazy like the video others posted but it is spooky. The only time I notice an odor is after we've changed the bag. The lid is air tight(if its not flapping around)

Ours has worked out really well. No complaints at all, and our 9 & 7 year olds bounce on this thing several times a day. Now that they know how to keep the whole thing from tipping when they climb on it, hang on it etc., they abuse the handle big time. The middle section of the top bar bends-in a little bit because of this, but frankly I'm DELIGHTED it's lasted as long and is in as good shape as it is!

No, the yellow lid does not snap into place. It not even a challenge to take off. It's the first thing my baby takes off. I have to hold the yellow top down to just show her the other way to use the toy. If it just gave a little resistance to pull if then it would be more of a challenge.

They are pretty sturdy, hardy cardboard. It never turned over on us, and lasted about six months before my boy got tired of it and we took it down, it would have lasted longer. There are flaps you turn over inwards around the bottom that provide extra support as well. We taped up the corners with packing tape just to make sure it held up good.

Yes I have a toddler. They would most definitely be able to push it over. Also after a year of having it out in the sun it has started to fade a bit

It's strong enough that I doubt it would bend or break, but light enough that it could move. It's pretty easy for my 20 month olds to move it with little effort when it's on carpet, but the suction cups on the bottom are really strong, so it could work for your son if you're putting it on a hard surface. Good luck, I hope you find a good solution for him.

The lid is very secure and should not be a problem. So far, my cats have had no issues and do not have a reason to break into it or knock it over. It is best to always keep it filled up halfway so there is enough weight to hold it down (in case it is somewhere that a cat might be tempted to knock it over).

It's hard to see all of it from top to bottom, but appears to be all metal. The trash can is very durable and I am glad I picked it over the more expensive brands. My toddler likes to mess with it by pushing down the lid since it has a soft close feature, so I feel over the last 3-4 months we have put more stress on it through her efforts than other customers without children.

Yes, very durable. My granddaughter is also 2, she isn't always gentle with things. It has a nice cover that comes already on it. It is sturdy, and built for little ones. We love it, and she enjoys playing with it daily. Great purchase.

It definitely will not knock over because of sturdiness and really good quality plastic. But anyway it's purposed for kids, and unfortunately not for adults (suppose that pre-production quality checking, with simulation of standard use, pressure and level of breaking, was made using kid's weight). At least it will work only for sitting on it, but not for standing on. Hope you will find something with similar quality )))
