Does the top stay open by itself? Important to keep little fingers safe!!

Not sure if top will stay open on its own as I have mine set next to an outside wall of the house which supports it, and we have no small children.

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.

The top will stay open by itself if you open it all the way. It does not have hinges that keep it open.

Yes, the lid opens up to a little more than 90 degrees from the horizontal.

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

Yes. I have no issues with the lid. I do close it when I'm not using it. But it does stay open when I am.

There's no latch or anything, but there is a slightly magnetized strip on the cover that keeps it closed. I haven't had any problems with it coming open accidentally.

Yes, the lid could fall on your fingers because it just leans back when open with nothing to assure it will stay open.

If opened fully, the lid will stay open. But must be opened all the way for hinge to lock.

Nope! The top stays on pretty tight. Also, the green part that attaches to the plastic squeeze tube turns to the left to tighten, so when a child takes the orange cap off (which you loosen to the left), they don't also take the green part off (if that makes any sense). We've had ours for about 6 mos. Don't use it every day, but it's held up nicely.

I am not sure of a recommended age, but wee use with our 2yr old. The top has the type of hinges that do not close on their own...so no slammed fingers or accidental closing. The sides have cut away gaps before the top ( you can see them in zoom perhaps), so even if your niece climbs inside and closes the lid, she has air and can easily climb out.

The lid flips open and tilts back enough so it will stay open by itself. That way you can use both hands to retrieve files. I really like this file and have 3 now but am going to order another one after Christmas.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

It does have hinges and it will stay open, it's not that heavy so even if it came down on some fingers it really wouldn't hurt too bad

It stays fully open. It will click when it is fully opened and remains in place. We have had no problems with ours.

Yes, it will stay open, if you have it up against a wall. We keep the lid up most of the time - it doesn't fall shut on its' own.

Yes, mine does. There is a stiffness to the lid so it even stays in position halfway open too!

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

Yes, the top stays on. It has a very positve click when capped. I carry one every day in a fanny pack.Enjoy.

Yes and there are velcro strips to keep it closed. Actually there are 2 velcro strips per side and the front ones have a double sided strip so the top will stay closed.

I tried it and it stayed shut. you have to push the button for it to open. if it falls on the button, rom a good height it might open. I think its pretty safe though
