No. If it's slightly opened he will push it until it's all the way open, but he's not tall enough to reach the door knob yet.

She's not tall enough >.< if she gets on her tippy toes she can get her fingers on the door knobs but not her full hand.

Not yet--he reaches up and puts his hands on the knob but he's not tall enough to turn it yet. It won't be long!

Chuck can if it is a lever door knob. Hasn't figured out the regular knobs yet, thank goodness. Unfortunately, though, he can open the fridge. And does, frequently.

This, except that Tristan can't get the fridge open by himself because it's heavy. And the ONLY reason he hasn't figured out the regular ones is that they're only on the doors out and the room leading to those is blocked off by a baby gate. He's never had a problem being tall enough to reach a doorknob while walking.

Not yet. She is definitely tall enough but she doesn't know how yet. She does open the fridge and freezer though.

Yes! I really dont like it. She can unlock our deadbolt too and the other day she made it out onto the front steps, i saw the door close behind her....so, we got a slide lock and put it up at the top of our front door so she cant open the door anymore.

Not quite. She can just barely reach the knob, but she can't turn it.
