When you open the top, does the top stay open or have a delay close? We are worried when our 1 yr old opens it, it will close on her fingers.

It stays open. It doesn't slam shut. It's not really a heavy top. It won't slam shut like a wooden one would.

The top stays open but does not take much pressure to make it close. I purposely let it close on my fingers. It does not slam shut. It is padded which softens the impact. It did not hurt. I even talked my husband into testing it and he said the same. Also, it is not very tall, which makes falling off a short trip to the floor.

There's nothing that holds the lid open. So when you lift it up you need to use your hand to keep the lid open otherwise it will close.

Yes, it stays closed till you open it. I've never had it "accidentally" open.

Nothing comes out if the child turns it upside down and shakes it. The only problem we've had with it is that liquid just comes up and out when it's closed tightly. Pressure issues? Other than that it's a great soppy cup and I can just give baby the cup without worrying about her spilling everywhere.

When we got ours we were afraid to break it but it just pulls open... Ours was really stiff but it opens without breaking lol

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

Hi Janeen, The front should close and stay close without any trouble. Make sure no items inside are hitting anything that might prevent the front from closing.

Hello - The case can be a bit stiff to open. You may need to hold down on the lower level while opening the top and it will feel kind of like a pop or release to open it fully. This is a good feature in case you accidentally forget to lock the top flap down then your equipment isn't as likely to fall out completely. It's part of the safety features of the case, not a malfunction. Hope this helps.

It depends...do you want to just keep the top from coming open unexpectedly or completely lock it? You could probably install a clasp to make it difficult for small people (kids?) from opening it. I don't see how you attach something to completely lock it though.

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

It has 2 different holes for the pin at the top that you choose based upon the strength of close required. It does have a pump action close, meaning it will not slam shut from a fully open position. Whether it will close soft enough for your child proof concerns is something probably based upon the weight of your door.

It's sort of soft close. I'm not worried about my 1.5 yr old daughter getting hurt. But it is NOT that soft closing. We're very happy with the quality and it's build. It does not soft close from any height.

Yes.. but the top is also very lightweight. I don't think it would break a finger. A kid could definitely push it closed.

When you open it, it stays open without holding it open. Then you can close it.

Bummer! Mine just opened right up, but when I close it, I have to twist firmly to get it to "click" all the way closed. I have a trick I use when I can't get a jar open-maybe it will work for this: hold the container upside down, and smack it sharply on the counter top. You may have to do it a couple of times, but it always works on jars! Just make sure you keep it level, so you don't break the container...good luck & sorry I couldn't help more...

yes , my grand sons stays 3/4 open untill you actually close the lid . there is a cutout wear your hand fits very sturdy

If you open the lid all the way, it will stay open. The top does not lock or brace open, and the top is light-weight - so if a gust of wind comes along, I'm sure it will blow closed. I don't think it will crush fingers, but it would probably scare a little guy.
