The recommended age according to the box is 12 I think, however my 7 year old Grandson "shares" control with his Dad, Dad operates the either the steering or throttle and the 7 year old operates the other control. My grandson loves it.

I would say it's durable. BUT for a 5 yr old, I doubt it.also the limbs come off naturally where joints are

My son is 3 yrs old and it seems durable for him. We haven't had any problem with it. We never traveled with it, so I wouldn't know.

My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old. The house itself is pretty durable, but things like the windows and doors are, frankly, flimsier than I would like. For the price of the house, I was a bit surprised at this. My daughter is very gentle with her toys, but I felt even for her I had to remind her, please play gently. The furniture is pretty durable overall, but again, for the price of this stuff, some of it is shoddy. The tub faucet broke off in about 5 minutes and the legs on the chairs are really thin and I feel like could snap in a minute. I love the house, how it lights, etc., but I am just hoping it lasts until my daughter is older.

Our grandson was 2 and is now 3 and still using it. I think even through age 4 to 5 he will still have fun with it. Hope that helps. He currently weighs sound 30-32 pounds. The toy seems to be sturdy

Brandon, I think it totally depends upon the child's abilities. Our grandson was actually too young when we purchased it.

I bought it for my daughter who just turned 3. She is a gentle kid who, despite playing quite delicately, broke a few small, plastic features (like the head off of the shower), etc. within 24 hours of owning the set. The pieces are exceptionally small and fragile. Additionally if your child is in a phase of putting things in their mouth, I would say "definitely not" good for a 2-3 year old. Probably better for 3 1/2 - 4 year olds.

My 4 yr old loves it althought much of it is too hard right now. I would say 4-10 years old.

Child should be big enough to be able to touch the ground.Kids are so different in size and ability.A child will enjoy this from roughly 12-36 months of age.

My grandson is only 1o months old, I have been using it since he turned 5 months. I have been impressed with it so far. My daughter purchased another brand and likes mine much better.

I bought it for a friend of mine. Her son's 1st birthday. She said it's his favorite and sturdy. He started to walk at 13m old. With that said, I've seen a multitude of parents blaming a toy for being inept, when in fact their child just couldn't walk well, which wobbly walking is normal. My son used something similar, but started walking about 9 months old. Long story short....depends on the child and how willing the parents are to not place blame.

Over a year for sure. The seat isn't adjustable so the child needs to be able to adjust themselves in the seat if they hit a bump and get moved around.

My grandchild is 3 but very small. I would guess up to 5 yrs. she doesn't play much with it.

We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age. He enjoyed straddling it inside and, as he grew, could use the pedals to power himself. If it's used outside, I would still supervise your child, as sometimes little people become distracted, looking all around and can tip themselves over. Their feet will be the brakes, so supervision is also needed where stopping is critical, or on downward slopes. Our grandson's favourite part of this toy is the 'trunk', where he can stow a stuffed animal, toy, or other gadgets. Radio Flyer is a great brand, and we have bought other pieces as gifts. I think you'll be pleased if you go ahead with this purchase. We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age.

So far it has survived our grand kids and seems to be pretty sturdy. They range in age from 10 to 15 so I am very satisfied with it. Hope this helps!

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.
