Will my 5 year old be able to open this on her own?

Yes ma'am, your 5 year old should be able to open. They lock tight but they're easy to open.

Yes. My 5 year old has used this container all year, since he was 4.9. I LOVE this container. My 2.5 year old can also use it.

If she is able to understand that she needs to open all four sides, she should be okay. The clasps may be tight at first, making it a bit difficult, but they do loosen up a bit with use. I do not have much strength in my hands and have no trouble with them now.

Yes. My 4 year old does. My suggestion is to let her practice at home before sending her off with it. Good luck. I still like these a lot.

I don't think so. I bought it for my 5 year old grandsons for Christmas. They love it but cannot read yet so need help following the directions. By 8 he should be able to do on his own.

Hmmm I don't think your 1.5 year old would be able to do it, but your 3 year old might figure it out if they watch you open it a few times and then play with it.

Yes, it does. We told our daughter that she is not allowed to open it by herself. Luckily she listens well. I've actually pinched my fingers a time or two.

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.

It would take a bit of coordination to hold the release button and lift at the same time for a 4 year old, but I guess it is possible. My 2 year old granddaughter cannot open the gate. I have been quite pleased with the gate overall.

depends how advanced this five year old is. my brother's 4 year old niece who has been around lego since birth (thanks uncle me) would have no problems. will for sure need some help with the -spoiler alert- rubber bands for the s-foils, and maybe some of the smaller pieces, but otherwise i say go for it! worst case scenario, you get some great father/son bonding time!!!

I don't think a 4 year old could open it. You have to pull the latch up while simultaneously lifting the gate door off a piece at the bottom. It is easy to operate once you get the hang of it but does require some strength. I do highly recommend this gate -- high quality, works well, looks nice, and the stay open feature is great.

Hmmm... Maybe? My son is now 5 and he likes to play with it still, but not often. I would say that it'll be fun for any child until they can master the directions and tools on their own. If your 5-year-old likes to put together Legos on his own, he could have some time left with this toy!

I dont know about easily, but my 6 yr old has no problem. Also, my almost 3 yrs old figured out how to open it today. It takes a fair amount of strength to lift and open.

Honestly it may be a little hard for him to open it. I'm not saying he can't but it just may be a little difficult since it is so small.

Yes. A three year old can open and latch this closed this easily. My son got his when he turned 3.

it shouldnt be a problem for any child that can use it by themselves. a younger smaller child might need assistance.

I would say they can play with but may struggle to put it back together by themselves. My 5 year old got it it for Christmas this year and it took him a little while to figure out how to get the pieces to snap into place.

yes, we got it for our son when he was three and he was able to use it on his own. he still plays with it at 4 and is very comfortable playing it independently.

Very easy. My 5 year old was able to do it by himself. My 2 year old could do it with some help. Just takes a minute or two.

My three year old loves it. Opening it involves a simple-to-push button. I think a two year old could open it but maybe not close it on his own.
