Those adult proof caps

[RalphVa]

How many of you have your grandchildren open those supposedly "child proof" caps that are adult proof? Then just leave the caps sitting loosely on top.

Stupid government.

Our pharmacy has regular caps as an option that we have to sign for, and our over the counter bottles have been modified long ago to be regular and we just swap them out onto the new bottle. But to answer your question, yes. ALL of our grandkids could easily open any "childproof" bottle at 5-6 years of age I am sure.

Our pharmacy is set up so that once you request the regular caps they will always supply them for prescriptions. I always save the caps when a bottle becomes empty so that I have spares when one shows up with the wrong cap.
We have one cat who has managed to open a "child proof" cap while playing with a bottle so they certainly aren't that secure.

Usually we have to ask the grandkids to open the bottles for us! They are much faster / better at it!

Like many supposedly good ideas that run smack dab into the law of unintended consequences. The "child proof cap" seems to thwart more seniors than it does children. And just who needs more drugs than anyone? Yep, it is seniors for sure.

I told them at the pharmacy that there wasn't anyone in my family younger than 70; so would they please omit the child-proof caps? They did, but I have to sign a release every time I pick up a new prescription.

The bottles I’ve seen have threads on the top of the cap and you can screw them on upside down to bypass the lock.

Maybe that is the solution for getting gas out of the new cans. Ask a grandchild to do it!

Just another fine government regulation that solved nothing. As stated by others, kids can usually get the lids off faster than adults can.

I usually have been asking my son to do it!
