Can a child hold the handle of the regular size brush, or would you recommend the smaller version (squirt)?

my almost 2 year old can easily hold this brush and use it! I saw the squirt at the store the other day and that is smaller but it didn't look that much easier to hold for little ones.

I would say most children, ages 4+, should be able to hold the regular size brush easily.

Depends on the age and how thick/long the hair is... We own 5 of the regular size for my 9 year old and I and she even uses them on her dolls

I purchased one for each of my granddaughters, ages 11, 10, 6 and 4. They all love the brush and don't have any problems with the size.

The brush fits quite comfortably even in smaller hands; the handle is oval so at the base it's, 1 ⅛″ x ⅞″. At its thickest, its 1 ⅓″ x 1 ⅛″ and the brush is 9″ tall.

The handle is approximately 1-1/2 inches. The brush is approximately 1-1/4 inches.

As far as I know (and this is only an educated guess) all brushes should have a standard width around the place where the bristles come out from the handle. Thats pretty much the only point I could rest my brush with and it seems to work fine as such.

Do you have the exact diameter for the brush handle (at the recessed portion where it would normally hang from)? The opening for the brush is 1 inch across. My non-Art of Shaving brush which has a 24mm knot size (a little larger than the average brush size), does not fit the stand by hanging it off the handle. However, it doesn't matter. I fit my brush by hanging it where the brush bristles exit the brush handle. At that point, as long as it's not a tiny brush, almost any size brush can be used since the bristles are flexible.

I don't have long hair but I do have very thick hair. I think it would still be a great brush once my hair grows out. I have pretty small hands and this brush is just the right size. But I haven't seen or held the xl brush so I'm not sure.

I use an "evenflo" baby bottle brush since baby bottles are narrow. Mine haas a sponge at the tip. I think it was only $2. Most of the time I just run very hot water through it, and sometimes a drop of soap. I only use this bottle for distilled water so it doesn't really get "dirty." But, yes, baby bottle brushes are narrower.

Hey! The handle of the brush is almost 3in, the brush as a whole is about 7.5in. The brush seems to work for me, definitely a lot less tangles and I haven't pulled out any chunks of hair so it's good in my book!

The entire broom (bristle head and handle) is smaller, in proportion, to a regular sized broom, so it isn't too heavy or too cumbersome for our 3-year-old and 6-year-old, and it actually works well to help sweep. We saw these in a boutique toy store before buying them on amazon for much less- they were high quality and a good size, compared to the much much smaller toy broom versions from, say, Target or Wal-Mart. Ours bent in shipping, though, so we ordered a replacement.

I think so. My 18 month old uses this one and a smaller one. You can adjust the flow with the tightness of the cap...but I think my child will use hers for many years.

If you want her to use it as a push walker, I think the large one would be better. We got the small one for our 1 year old and it's too large for him to ride, and the handle was too short for him to use it effectively as a walker.

The brush head is flexible enough to be used by that age. It is as safe as the kids specific ones.

This has a pik and a brush pik, my son prefers the brush pik so I would say another kid could use the regular pik.

The Kids Sonicare brushes come in 2 sizes. You will need the larger size. :)

While this brush head is small, I think I'd wait until the child has more permanent teeth. They need a smaller brush for brushing baby teeth. They also need to develop brushing skills when they are young. I'd wait until a child is about 9ish or once they have molars.

the handle is a pretty standard thread size and is replaceable. My wife doesn't like to use this as the bristles are VERY stiff and inflexible.

I don't have huge hands but am a guy - works very well for me. IMO with trim you don't want a massive brush to deal with the weight/width of all the paint. It's also helps me as my hands cramp with normal brushes.
