I hate child-resistant caps. I live alone, I have no kids, nor do I ever have other peoples' kids in my home. So I have no hesitation about disabling them, leaving the container easier to open.
The most common ones, the "Press Down While Turning" kind, are the easiest. They consist of two pieces, an inner and an outer. Cut off the outer cap by whatever means works for you, and voila!, you have a normal cap.
The second most common one I run into is the "Squeeze Here While Turning". This one has two "lugs" inside the cap that engage two "ears" on the neck of the bottle. Cut off the "ears" (I usually use a pair of toenail clippers) and you're done!
Now, don't be stupid with this. You are disabling a valid safety measure. If you have small children in your home, whether they're yours or someone else's, I wouldn't advise doing this unless you take the kind of precautions we did before "Child-Resistant" packaging: keep potentially dangerous products secured and/or out of the reach of small children. But if you don't, there's no good reason for you to put up with the hassle.
If you do this, YOU are responsible for any outcome from it. So don't be stupid, okay?
