does this item get hot or would it be safe for a 9 year old to use

It does get hot. I have actually burnt myself a couple of times. If she was strictly supervised and explain about where not to touch it might be ok. When I burnt myself it was due to simply not paying attention to where I was touching. Hope that helps.

Absolutely. I got this for my 3 year old but my 7 and 9 year olds LOVE it and want one for themselves. It is certainly big enough for a 9 year old as it's a twin size. Keep in mind it only holds up to 120 lbs so eventually they will outgrow it.

Yes, however I'd use it at 300 Degrees because kids hair is a little more susceptible to damage, it's thinner in most kids. That said, because this iron gets VERY hot I would not let her use it without supervision. It's very easy to burn yourself or random objects in the bathroom if not paying attention. :-)

It can get pretty hot. As long as it is not making a lot of noise (bearing) and it is pumping water, it should be fine. I would just keep an eye on it for a while.

It is good for a nine year old. My son was eight when he got his. Don't expect too much out of it, and you'll both be happy.

Not really. Our grandson recently turned 12. He's tallish and on thin side in body makeup. I'd think a 9 yr old could use it just fine.

Remember, just as any steamer, the water is at boiling temperatures. Keep the steamer in the hair and it shouldn't be an issue. I use it on my hair, but sometimes to get the front I have to aim it to where the steam can hit my face. Sometimes the water jumps out at you (imagine an iron that has the steam function). I hope this helps. All in all, it is safe, just be careful not to make contact with the skin because it is hot. It didn't burn me, but your boy is 9 years old and I can't say I remember the difference of pain then and now... I hope this helps somewhat.

I would think it would be a fire hazard if used anywhere in the house. I someone touched it when it was on they could risk getting a nasty burn. I think it should only be used outdoors and in an area that is out of reach for young children. It gets pretty hot.

This would work great for a nine-year old. It will even accommodate adults! Even though I bought one for my 3-year old grandson, my daughter can ride it. They are very heavy duty. I think your nine-year old will love it.

I purchased one for my 9 year old grandson and he loves it. It seems to be easy to use and with a little adult help it shouldn't be an issue.

Never to use alone, however my three year old asked for this for Christmas last year and he loves to help me make muffins and cupcakes. It gets VERY hot very fast.

I don't believe they get hot. My 2 and 4 yr old have never mentioned it being that way

No it does not get hot. However, when in use, I would make sure kids no not to touch the toaster.

I don't recall it getting that hot. We use it in our bathroom which is about 6 X 8 and I never noticed it getting that hot. I really don't think you have anything to be concerned about as far a safety. I just know it has worked very well for us the past 2 winters and we have enjoyed it. We will be using it here very soon and if I do notice anything I will let you know.

After about a month of using this heater we are satisfied with it's operation. It does get rather hot to the touch on the top of the unit (not skin burning hot, but similar to hot ceramic coffee cup hot...you don't get a blister, but holding it for long isn't pleasant!) The plastic sides are literally cold to the touch, and the front (warm) are not an issue. Having a 2 year old touch the top would not be an unpleasant experience for her, but it's hot enough to remind her not to touch it. Having 3 kids, we were extremely finicky about what they had in their rooms. This heater in my opinion is probably the safest type of heater to use in that environment given it's a "heater". Most portable fan heaters with metal grills are much hotter, and even the plastic grilled heaters with metal elements we use get hotter to the touch on the front. Hope this helps!

It may be a bit small for a 9 year old. My 12 year old plays dolls with my 5 year old, and she can push this stroller around even though she is too big for it. My suggestion would be to look for a cheap, "real" umbrella stroller for your 9 year old. It would be the right size and probably cheaper.
