We all know there are several kinds of childproofing for pill bottles. Which do you prefer?
The type where you squeeze the sides and then turn?
The one you push the top down and turn?
The one where you line up the arrows and then pop the top?
Some other vrariety?
Or, do you prefer no childproofing at all?
Please share hwich one you prefer and why.
For me, I don't really care. They are equally easy for me to open. However I thought of this discussion because some people may or may not have kids or may have conditions like arthritis or carpal tunnel that make it more difficult for them to open the childproof containers.
Feel free to share. I look forward to reading responses.

I am with April above. Mine are stored way up high where my kids can't get to them. I remember when I was a kid and my mom couldn't open the child proof caps, but I could and would have to open them for her. What's the point if a child can get to the medicine, but the adult can't. Even better if you can have them in a locked cabinent.

I don't use any, I store medications very high up on a shelf in the bathroom that none of the kids could reach even if they stood on the toliet. Maybe this is odd, but it works for us. I have three kids and they are all thre very quick to figure out puzzles like uhm well, childproof containers. My mom, who has severe arthritis has had to have our 5 year old open a bottle for her before. Kids are sharp, so I decided not to take any chances.
