I see on the "single" stomp rocket reviews that younger children, ages 3-4, could enjoy this just as easily as older kids and even adults. Would you say this model would also be fun for a physically-adept 3-yr-old?

We bought the single one with refills for Christmas for our 3 grandchildren with a total of 6 rockets - 2 for each. They are 5, 4, and not quite 3. The only problem with the middle and younger one is remembering that you can adjust the stand thereby adjusting the trajectory of the rocket. Other than that they all love it.

I think a 3 year old would be too old for this toy. I gave it to my 9 month old nephew and he loved it. Now that he is 18 months old and walking, he hardly plays with it, too many things to get into and explore I guess. He might go back to playing with it. I would not give this to a 3 year old.

We gave it to our 4 yr old granddaughter &she; did very well with it immediately. A 3 yr old might wany an older person - sibling or adult depending on motor skills.

My son is almost 4 and he loves it. It's easy for him to launch the ball and it's very simple pinball gameplay. I think it would vary based on the child, but 3 years and up should really be fine

My son just had his third birthday and he's extremely active. It's the perfect size for him to go wild and tire himself out. He had a play date with his two year old cousin and they played safely together, occasionally bumping into one another. I wouldn't put more that two active toddlers in at once, but if I had smaller babies, maybe three.

I have a 6 yr old daughter and 4 yr old son. My kids have played together with it many times over the past two years. If your son is into imaginative play he will likely enjoy it as well.

My four year old now five year old could play with this and has had lots of fun. He has had a couple of neighbor kids over and some seemed to struggle with holding it while reloading. Other kids had no issues at all. My 3 yo. struggles with the reload concept so just runs around pulling the trigger (it makes a sound until it runs out of shots.) My 2 yr. old cannot do it at all but has discovered that the guns are sort of heavy and are good things to bash her brothers with (by good, I mean likely to get the desired whining reaction.) Dad and the 4/5 yr. old have had tons of fun playing against eachother. It is not an every day toy at this point but it makes an appearance about 2-3 times a month for a couple of hours at a time. So, all and all, this is a great little toy. Batteries seem to last for ages and they have been dropped, whacked, etc. and they keep on going. I would purchase them again. If your 4 y.o. is small or not dexterous, you might wait a year just because of the weight and need to press the buttons to shoot and reload.

I have a 4 and 3 year old. I think it's typical great playmobile quality. Track is a little small but good enough for us. A little tricky for 3 year old to get on track but easier for 4-5 yr old.

Yes, this toy is perfect for a 3-year-old. My 2 & 4 year olds love playing with it and many of the games for this device are designed for preschoolers.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for. it seems to be bouncy enough for our son. I will make it really rock and he does not quite like that yet. I know it is not as bouncy as some of the older ones he has played on but they are 15-20 years old and so the springs are going to have more bounce. I would buy it again if I had to.

When I bought it my daughter was 3, she loved it. She loves building things though, so if your grandchildren enjoy that then it should be fun for both ages. I bought another set for 2 6 yr old boys and they love it. I think it's a fun all family game. But I believe the package recommended age is 8

Are they walking well? If they're not walking well I wouldn't recommend letting them ride it. It kind of scoots jerkily. My 3 yo still adores this thing, my 1 yo really wants to play but it's too treacherous, the 3 yo nearly runs him over every time. It shoots right out from under the rider/pusher on hard floors, too. It's kept at Grandma's house now.

A 3 year old can reach the pedals because of how adjustable this model is. I bought it when my son was three. Both my 4 year old and 6 year old like riding on this. Note: we use to push my three year old on it in the begging. He really started liking pedaling around 3.5. I would reccomendation this model with out hesitation. Have a good day!

A one-yr-old would certainly grow into this. You both would have fun spinning him/her around in the meantime. It's a fun vehicle and the kiddos at the program where I work enjoy it.

I originally order this for a 3 year old who loved it. His 5 year old cousin then asked for one. I'd say it's good for 3 and up. The adults also played with it.

I think it is perfect for 3 or 4 year old. My son is 5 now. He want a fast one which the wheel made of rubber instead of plastic. So when he turn 5 . This one may not good for him.

It is definitely Better for the younger toddlers. It is small so the trip down is short. If the child is too tall, they practically reach the floor before they even go down. I have one and it is very sturdy and could easily support an older child, though. My son is three and still uses it, but he is autistic and has very poor balance and coordination so we needed a slide that was smaller for him. My eight-year-old thinks it's fun though LOL
