can this be set up to open a small amount (say for ventilation, but still prevent child from getting out)?

Yes you can, to open the door you have to removed but is a lock the you can control the the space..good luck. .

I would think not as there would be no place to set it and you need to have space behind it to pull air through. I could be wrong.

There is a small plastic tube on the wire to help keep it open. I think the smallest you could get the snare to go would be about the size of a cucumber or so.

Only if you can find a way to secure it so it's not a suffocation hazard. Depending on how high the pile is, it may be a hazard regardless. I didn't use it for my baby until I was sure he could roll over and kick off a blanket.

Yes, there's a solid door that you can slide into place so they can't go in or out. It works very well.

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

The maximum width of the opening is 3". Highly doubtful. I assume you mean getting through while seated in the chair. I can see a very small child squirming and getting a leg caught in it.

I don't know what a safety-type lid is. I don't think it slams shut. I think it has some sort of hinges that stop it from doing that. But it definitely doesn't fasten. You could use it for a toy chest or anything. But if you wanted it not to be opened by toddlers when they're by themselves, then this wouldn't be the thing. Starting from ages 2-3 they're probably able to get into it by themselves. I'm not sure there'd be an easy way to fasten it or keep it closed either, other than putting something heavy on top of it. But that would probably defeat the purpose.

This device can be defeated by a 18 month old. That was my experience. It might work if the fit is perfect - whatever that is. But a good stiff pull will open my basement door secured with this. I think it is time for simple solution of a cord tied to eyelets on the door and frame with a simple shoe bow knot that can be untied from either side with a simple pull with the door opened an inch or two.

Yes it can. Basic idea of lock is that a toddler isn't strong enough to do it, although eventually a persistent one may be able to override lock.

I would say yes. You would have to just play with it to determine how it would work the best in that situation. You can change the sensitivity and if it is still too sensitive you can move it further away from the kids.

The tent has 2 windows and 2 doors (one of each on each side) that close with velcro. There is no material at the head and feet so the air comes in and child cannot get stuck there. Unfortunately, my 2-year old son damaged it very fast by pulling, jumping on it etc

No, that would be a nice touch though. I would imagine that it could easily be rigged to be held open with a small bungee cord or hook of some kind.

We have this can, and *most* of the time it keeps him out (a mini-Aussie). However, even when it stays shut, he has managed to remove the bag (leaving the trash inside the can). He sometimes gets it open by pulling up on the back of the can. I've come downstairs to find he popped the back off with the lock still in place.Of course, it depends on what is in the can as to how determined he is to get into it.

My 2 year old grandchild can close it but not open it. It also has a lock to prevent it from being opened.

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.

There is a smaller panel on the top that could be removed. It would leave the other side loose, but it would open.
