Is this too advanced for a 7-8 year old?

My 8 year old and 7 and 6 year old boys love theirs. The only difficult task is trying to sync the remote to the car because we have 3. But they are fabulous! My husband says they are faster than anything he's ever seen.

I think it would be great for that age. I bought one for my 5 Year old daughter and she has gotten the hang of it. Also it's pretty fun to play with being an adult too. It's a pretty quick toy. Good Luck!

No, it's perfect for that age. My grandson took the control and drove it away. I, on the other hand, drove it straight into the garage door!

I don't think so - I bought it for my 7 year old, now turning 8 and she still likes it very much.

I would not recommend it for under 7 years old. Lots of small pieces and can be intricate to assemble.

I bought for a 5 and 7 yo at the time, and it ended up being too easy for them. We just made new games out of it.

It really depends on your child and also if and how much you want to help. Instructions are much like legos. Follow and succeed. I would say with help 4-7 and without 8 -whenever.

No, I think that would be fine. I gave it to 2 younger grandsons and it was to advanced for them.

In my opinion, the average child that age would only be able to use a few of the features. The manufacturer suggests ages 6 and up, but I would say it would be more worthwhile for even a slightly older child like 7. A 5-6 year old would surely enjoy it, just probably not use all of the features.

No... they'd have to put some effort into it. My 7 year old son and my 4 year old nephew use it just fine with no problems.

I bought this for my 5 year old and she has learned how to control it, although there are of course crashes (which it handles just fine). It has variable maximum speeds, so you can start with a slower maximum speed. I think this would be great for an 8 year old.

emily , my opinion is 7 or 8 year old is in need of a more mature wooden desk , this step 2 desk is ideal for my 2 year old grandaughter, she loves working with her coloring book and crayons and 1 2 3 and the abc blocks,,, i would say the step 2 desk i have is for a child to the age of 5,i'm sure amazon can help you choose the correct desk for a 8 year old,the 8 year old's are using larger desk in school today,,,,i hope i did help,,,,,

My neices were 8 & 10 when I gave it to them, and I don't think it was hard for them at all. Honestly, the whole family was so addicted to it, EVERYONE got in on it. Maybe it would be a great challenge for a seven year old to see what she might accomplish?

If your 7 year old is interested in music I'm sure they would like it. My 6 year old niece likes to play with it. The older they are the more they would understand the different instruments make different sounds and could create more complex music. If you decide to purchase this toy, I would look at Target. I found it there considerably cheaper.

My almost-10-year old loves it and so do I. He is good at math, though. If your child struggles with math, it might be more difficult (less fun?) for an 8-9 year old.

I do not think this is age appropriate for an 8 year old. It is much more appropriate for ages under 6. Basic Early learning with letters, reading, colors, alphabet, etc.

I would say NOT for a child that young. A 7-year-old would more than likely find it too much of a challenge and become frustrated.

I guess is a good option. I bought it for my nephew, but she is 2 years old, and for now she starts to play with this kind of things, but for a boy of 8 years I think is good.

I think a smart 8-year old is very close to being on the outer edge of a kid who could appreciate this. I, too, have a smart 8-year old and she can be entertained by it from time to time, but not for long and really has outgrown it. Sorry, but not sure what a better, similar item would be. Hope that helps.
