Is the battery compartment baby proof? (hard to take batteries out)

It is necessary to remove a recessed screw from a cover plate before the batteries can be reached.

You have to unscrew a tiny screw to get to the battery compartment. It is very baby proof.

I don't even know that. I already got rid of it because it doesn't do what it is supposed to. You should be able to set it to only change to certan channels, but if the baby holds down more than one button and mine did because she chewed on it, it kept changing to all sorts if different channels that it wasn't programmed to do.

I have changed the batteries out and have never had that problem. The battery compartment on ours does open very easily, though.

A very small screw driver can open the bottom port where the batteries are. However, it's a hobby size screwdriver and not common. Also, I don't think it's easy to know that the battery is that accessible behind the latch.

Unfortunately, the trick is to use something thin to pry it open. I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had to access my battery, but feel as though I could also break it. Not a good design for sure, but for the price, I guess we get what we pay for!

Yes, the battery compartment is there. The key to the clock was tapred to a piece of styrofoam in the packing. You most likely can pick thr lock, it is very cheap.

Yes, the hand held unit has a rechargeable battery that lasts like 30minutes to 1 hour when not plugged in. You have to keep it plugged in if you plan on using it for more than 1 hour. The unit you place with the baby does not have a rechargeable battery, it is plug in only.

The batteries are accessed from the front, not the back. Just remove the two screws holding on the front cover - it comes off easily, revealing the two batteries.

Yes, it is very easy to take it out, you just have to slide both locks and the battery is out.

No. Each side has a battery compartment on the bottom that holds two AA batteries. So, it's probably good to be aware that the child can access the batteries on his/her own, which isn't an issue if the child understands there isn't a need to mess with it, but if you've got a curious two or three year old running around at home, keep the camera away from the little one if you don't want to lose the battery compartments. It really is a fun and easy camera.

I bought this for my mother and she has told me she cannot get the battery cover off. I'm not there to figure it out, so hoping someone can explain the battery compartment configuration? Does it have a tab to press?

You are correct that there is no easy access. This is a very traditional case. It covers and protects the camera and is held on by the camera mounting screw. You unscrew that and the camera is free from the case. So far I haven't had to change the battery in an all day session, so it hasn't been an issue.

The batteries are difficult to get in and harder to get out. I haven't have a problem. Be sure the batteries are facing the right direction and try to turn them a bit to be sure they have good contact.

No I would not consider it to be child proof, one switch push button to fire, it does cone Ina Velcro case

I would be ok with my child under two playing with it. The battery case is held in by a screw and covered w cloth. The parts that they are able to put in their mouth would be cloth also. I think you will be fine.

It is very easy. On the left side there is a circular slot that you turn open and pull out. The battery area is inside.

When I first received it I couldn't get it off either. After working at it for awhile and a few unkind words I finally was able to remove it and put the batteries in. Now it is easy to open and close(I just went and tried to make sure) so keep trying or ask for help. I think that it was worth the beginning frustration.
