child resistant
Difficult for toddlers
Child resistant describes packaging or containers designed to be difficult for young children to open while remaining accessible to adults.
The design typically requires coordinated movements—pushing while turning, squeezing specific points, or aligning tabs—that exceed most small children's dexterity: child resistant pill bottles, child resistant caps.
The term replaced "childproof" in regulatory language, acknowledging that no packaging can completely prevent determined or clever children from eventually gaining access.
