child-resistant packaging

Toddler-proof medicine bottles

Child-resistant packaging is designed to be difficult for young children to open, reducing the risk of accidental poisoning or injury.

Pill bottles with push-and-twist caps are the classic example.

The packaging need not be childproof—just resistant enough to slow a child down while remaining accessible to adults: The child-resistant packaging frustrated her arthritic grandmother more than her toddler.
