Absolutely! My two year old daughter looooves them! The head of the brush is a great size for smaller kids and the bristles are nice and soft and get the job done. Great price for 5 toothbrushes...great for changing them often especially if your little ones get sick.

The brush head/bristles are small but we used them for ourselves and our 2 year old. Our dentist recommended using a small brush for ourselves as adults to scrub better.

I don't see why not. These brushes seem to extremely user-friendly for all ages. And this small size head will be very comfortable for a child.Actually this small size is very comfortable even for a grown-up because it allows to do a more "detailed" cleaning of teeth.

These are soft head ADULT size toothbrushes. However, they are smallist head. I am only a regular consumer but I believe gently used by a 5 year old, if the head is not too big for him/her, would be just fine. Yes.

Great question. I Have not read anything on it. The suggested use is up to 6 months. My LO is 8 and does not have teeth yet, and I believe that is because both my husband and I had teeth later in age.

Yes. These heads are for age 4-7 and fit any children-sized Sonicare toothbrush model.

I'd say 3 - 6 months. But I don't use the Philips brush heads anymore. I found much, much cheaper replacement heads that aren't quite as stiff as the Philips brush heads, but still do the job and last just as long.

It really depends on the child. My grandchildren had them at age 4, but really enjoy them now that they are 5, 7, 9. They each have their own set. Mine don't put things in their mouth (chew on them.) And they seemed to be coordinated enough to handle stacking things without getting frustrated if they collapse. Hope that answer helps!

Under 2 is too young. The package probably says 3 or 5 as the minimum age. My daughter is 2.5 and does fine with them, not putting her paint covered hands near her mouth or on furniture.

My twins are 11 months old and I started using them at 10 months. My pediatrician brought it up at our 9mo visit bc my son had 6 teeth and he said it was time to brush. The bristle side is for the teeth that are at least half way up. The bumps are for massaging sore gums where teeth are coming.

There are two brush heads that come with this. One is bigger and for older kids, while the other is about half the size. The smaller measures about 1/2 inch (the bristle area) and it's pretty soft. My 6 year old has been using it but I think he definitely needs a larger one. So based on my experiences with this brush, I would say it would be fine for a 2 year old.

My grandson is 8 and still likes his. I think you'd be safe to get them for him.

Most dentists recommend that these should be used by people over the age of 18. However, you should try the ones with the advance stick thing. They stay on your teeth longer and work much better. Hope this helps! :)

I don't know how big a 5 year old's mouth is. I would try the slim model. The bite wings are about 2 inches apart.

My 3+ yo has been using this toothbrush for over a year. He prefers it over the toothbrushes he has gotten from the dentist. He uses one at pre-school, where he "brushes" his own teeth. I also brush his teeth before bedtime. He doesn't seem to have a problem with the long handle. The bristle portion could be a bit smaller for him but it works.

Well my youngest is 1.5 yr and she plays with them in the tub. They are soft so when she was a little younger and teething more, she would try to chew on them. I would say they're good for pretty much any age. They're too big to swallow so as long as a younger child doesn't chew on them and rip off a small piece, there is no choking danger.

Yes, I would think so. My five year old is very intrigued by it every time I am using mine, but I don't think she is quite ready for one now. I will definitely get her one in a couple of years. The bristles are not to hard so no worries about the gum line. You know your child best, so you can better assess as to whether or not they are fit for a motorized toothbrush.

This is not designed to be a children's product but it is soft. If you look at the packet, it clearly says do not use for children under the age of 3 (so I assume it is ok for the children who are above that age.) Oral B children (stages) brush heads are available everywhere except the US. I am yet to understand the reason for this. This will greatly increase motivation for kids to use power brushes.

I am not sure. I use them in speech and language therapy to teach children about community helpers. I use them with ages 4 to about 12

Absolutely. In fact, I'm about to place an order for my child, who is 14 months old. He sees his older sister using one every morning and is completely fascinated by it. I should say, though, that I would be the one doing the brushing for him. The toothbrush itself is pretty heavy (well, at least heavier than your standard).
