Is a 3 1/2 year old too young to use this?

I'd say It depends on their motor skills. But they can grow into it as confidence grows. Our two year can sit spin slowly on it.

depends on their balancing abilities, but general no. It's not too young. My two year old uses it all the time, so does my four year old.

No My son was 4, just keep in mind they could get hurt if on hard surface like outside or hardwood floors. But my son is pretty rough and tumble and has fallen many times on our hardwood floors and been ok. This is a great buy! He loves it!

Depends on the child but I'd say no .... closer to 5 should be the starting age

My opinion is that 1-3 is the right age. Above that and you are likely in child-guitar territory. This isn't at all close to a real instrument, it's a neat toy with songs and buttons that my 19month old really loves.

No, not at all. My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter manages it okay, but still has room to grow with it. It should be perfect for a 3-4 yr old. It's really nicely constructed, also.

Yes, my 3 year old uses it. I can't really recommend this seat though, it's really cheap and doesn't stay that secure to the seat.

I actually used it (supervised at first, of course) when my son was 10 months old. He started to understand how it worked overtime. He is 14 months now and does great on his own. I think the warning should be thought of as a suggestion in this case. Just make sure to look for small parts, but in this box the smallest part was about the size of a bouncy ball , so it wasn't too bad.

I would not think a 3yr old would enjoy this. I would suggest 6/8 +. It is neat toy, but somewhat involved.

Definitely not! I think kids up to age 8 (maybe older, if they're small/petite like my daughter) could use it!

Absolutely not! I bought it for my twins at 2yr2m and they are almost 4 now and still play with it. Definitely a good buy at that age.

Yes. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old. My youngest has been playing with it since he turned 1. It started out a little tall for him, but that didn't keep him from wanting to play with it. Now he is plenty tall enough to play with it (and he is not "of the charts" tall or anything).

I think it just depends on how long the child wants to play with it. We have 4 and 5 year old's that come over and play with it more than my 3 year old. But scale wise, in my opinion, it is perfect for 3-4 year old's.

I bought this for my 3 year old and he LOVES it! My 1 1/2 year old always loves to get his hands on it too! He follows what his older brother does. My 3 year old always says mommy you have owies you need a dr, and gives me checkups! According to the description it says Manufacturer recommended age: 36 months - 7 years, but I think an older kid would be bored with it honestly.

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.

We bought this initially when our son was about 18 months, but now he is three and is still using it, and our one-year-old can climb into it as well. I would guess that we will be able to use it till about age four or five.

My grandson is 3 1/2 and he still plays with it a lot. We got it for him when he was 2.u daughter in law says his play just gets more imaginative as he gets older. Hope this helps.

I have a three year old. We got it when he was 2.5. A younger child could probably use some pieces of it. The zipper and velcro are easiest and I suspect even many 1 year olds could use them. There are still a few things my son cannot do (like tying shoes), but that's why we got it, to grow with him. I'd guess 1.5-4 would be a great age for this toy.

I would advise not to give this to any child under three years old. Unless the 2 year old you are asking for is as large as a three year old and as mature as a three year old I would wait. It is a fantastic toy for my three year old grandson who mastered the steering in two days and is only allowed to drive in the low gear until he gains a bit more common sense...he doesn't need more speed yet. I hope this helps you.
