I tell you what is really crazy. We use water pens at nursery. You fill them with water and then screw the top on and the kiddies can draw on black boards and stuff. The caps though screw on the backwards way round so that they are supposedly child proof. What these not so intelligent people don't realise is the 2 to 4 year olds don't actually know what way round the correct way of unscrewing something is so they will try both ways and tip water everywhere.
So yup, child-safety-anything is normally pointless and just frustrating.
It's one of these lids you have to match the point of an arrow on the bottle to the point of an arrow on the lid and push it off. Getting the arrows to line up is near impossible. And my fingers end up needing the Tylenol more than what was hurting in the first place. :(
Personally I think it's really adult proof. As if this would keep a kid out of it.
