This packaging is specifically made to keep young children from opening contents while remaining usable by adults. It’s called child-resistant packaging, designed to require more than one simple action (like pushing and turning or squeezing and turning) so that curious kids under a certain age can’t access potentially dangerous medicines or cleaners. Regulatory standards exist to ensure this safety and reduce accidental poisonings, which is why it’s the best choice. Tamper-evident packaging is about showing if a package has been opened, not about making it hard for children; unit-dose packaging focuses on convenience and accurate dosing; child-friendly packaging would be easier, not harder, for a child to open.
