1. A child-proof container comprising:
a storage defining a compartment and including a lateral wall defining a passage opening delimited by a free edge, said passage opening being configured to place the compartment in communication with an outside environment,
a closure system movable with respect to the storage at least between:
a closed condition where the closure system prevents communication between the compartment and the outside environment,
an open condition where the closure system allows the communication between the compartment and the outside environment,
at least one first coupling portion carried by the closure system,
at least one second coupling portion carried by the storage and configured for cooperating with said first coupling portion,
wherein the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion are configured to engage each other in the closed condition of the container to define a locking condition, where said first coupling position and said second coupling portion prevent the closure system from passing from the closed condition to the open condition,
wherein the second coupling portion comprises at least one tab outside the compartment and the at least one tab defines at least one undercut configured to engage the first coupling portion of the closure system to define said locking condition,
wherein the container comprises at least one spacer at least partly interposed between the tab of the second coupling portion and the lateral wall of the storage,
wherein the tab of the second coupling portion, in the closed condition, is movable at least between:
a first operative position where the tab is configured to engage the first coupling portion to define said locking condition, and
a second operative position where the tab is configured to disengage the first coupling portion to allow the passage of the closure system from the closed condition to the open condition.
