Is this container easy enough for a young child to open on their own? Could I fit a regular length hot dog in the container without cutting it up?

This item is great. I don't think a regular length hot dog would fit but would depend on the brand of type of doy and the jar is a bit too large for a child's (5-10) hand to open in my opinion.

its a great container and yes it will hold a hot dog. but I think it would be hard for a kid to open. its a wide mouth and I think it would be hard for a kid to open with small hands.

My child is 11 and she handlle it perfectly. It's quiet easy. I'm not quiet sure about the hot dog, but probably it will. The important thing about this thermos is that your food will be hot!

Yes, as long as you don't close it too tight. And it will still keep the heat if it's not closed tightly. A hot dog will fit it just bends a bit to fit in, be sure your child uses a fork to take it out or turn the thermos upside down to get it out because the inside will still be very warm.

I got this for my 3 year old and she had no problems opening the lunch box or smaller container inside.

Sherry, If you are able, I would keep it out of reach of small children. To get into it, you would usually use the " key" that simply turns something that looks like a flat head screw on the bottom of the unit . One twist opens the lock and then you turn the unit right side up, press in on the latch and open it. Sometimes it doesn't easily open so I try again, but usually it will open relatively easily. The difficulty could be compared to a prescription bottle with a safety cap- and we know some kids can figure out how to open those

Hi no I don't believe your 3 year old would be able to open the large container. My 12 year old has a hard time taking the lid off.

It just depends on how high you put the latch. This product is designed to make entry difficult by keeping the latch out of reach. Is is very easy to open so yes a 3 year old could manipulate it if you put it low, but in that case you're just not using it properly. We really love this product and highly recommend it.

It is difficult to say for sure, it depends on how big her hands are, because the lid is almost five inches. Maybe try to see if you can find a container with a lid around that size and see if she can open it. I hope this helps you.

I think a large dog can easily get it opened and then chew on the parts. This really is not a toy for a large dog. I am going to give mine away to someone with a small/medium size dog.

I checked the boxes and I would say it would be easy enough for a preschooler to open and close the lid of the smaller snack box.

My wife and I both open it alone all the time. It's not the easiest thing to do but it's do-able. The only thing that really makes it a chore is that the legs will stick on the opposite side of where you are raising it. It's a little heavier than an EZ-UP too so it takes a little more muscle.

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.

Yes, I would say it is very easy open for a 4 year old. It doesn't twist or screw. Only thing I would be sure is to show her how to push it closed tight otherwise it will fall open if dropped or turned on it's side.

It is a spring loaded hinge, so it will not fall down on a child while open. It should be safe.

My 4 year old could not open this at all, the lid is pretty tight compared to other thermoses. He can open his tall thermos, though.

I have a toddler, not a dog, and it took him about a year to figure out how to open it, if it's any help.. it's the only lockable garbage can I've found.

I have not used this size container since it was a gift, but I believe it will be better than most containers. In general these containers are easy to use and the top button prevents them from opening until you push it.

Yes it's extremely easy to set up and collapse. It literally just opens in seconds and folds back closed. I love it for my 3 year old!

It's perfect size for your kindergartener, however it can be a little harder to open for little ones, but there is a small lip to pull up on so I think your kindy could do it. It does have a good seal making it great for wet things like yoghurt.
