Child proof containers

Abstract

One or more embodiments for child-proof containers are described. The child-proof containers include a lid and a base and an insert piece. In one embodiment, there are three buttons that include a lip portion that protrudes away of the insert piece of the child-proof container and are accessible from outside of the child-proof container. In other embodiments, there are four buttons that protrude outside of the base of the child-proof container and that are accessible from outside of the child-proof container. To open the lid and separate the lid from the base, the user must press on each button on each side of the container at the same time for the lid to open. Other embodiments include child-proof containers that have a weaker central spot on the base of the container that can be pressed to cause the base to flex and separate from the lid.
