Any thoughts on why they recommend this for ages 3+? Not sure why it would be unsafe for my 18 month old.

pots and pan are nice though the lids do not stay on very well. Probably advertised for 3+ because utensils have somewhat sharp edges and play food can break apart if used as a chew toy -- very thin plastic.

Bought it for my granddaughter when she was two. My 16 month old grandson plays with it now. Perfectly safe

My grandson is 17 months and does fine with the set. Maybe there is a concern a toddler might fall with the utinsels.

This set was quite well made for the price. Also a nice size for the play stoves. The only thing that might be a danger to under 3 are small screws in the plastic lids, and if the lids were stood on they would break and the edges would be sharp.

Our 8 year old did not have any trouble, the 3 year old had a bit of difficulty handling it and we had to help which was alot of fun and besides a 3 year old should not be unsupervised with this type of toy anyway because of choking concerns.

I started using it with my 10 month-old. She could easily sit on it unassisted. Of course I stayed right by her just in case. My friends with 2 and 3 year olds use it too. Wide age range :)

Does anyone know what they consider a choking hazard so it is not safe under 3 years? Are there loose parts?

I put my 1 year old in it. He loves it. It's a smooth ride. I think a 7-9 month old would be fine.

In my opinion, any child from 1-2 and up would have fun playing with it, however, it has small coins that they can put in their mouth, I would say its safe for kids older than 3. My 5 year old got it for Christmas last year, and seems like she will be enjoying it for many years to come since she loves to play store.

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.

Hi Crystal, I can't see why it would not be good for kids. But, I think supervision would be wise.

I think they got some labels confused. There are no detachable parts small enough to fit in your child's mouth. It's a ride on so it was obviously designed for under 3 years. My nephew loves his, he cries when he has to get off of it. It's perfectly safe.

I don't know what age it is recommended for, but our daughter is 4. She is old enough for it and I am not sure I would go below that age.

I see someone answered the wt. limit for you and the box states 12-36 months age. You can go to Fisher Prices' website and see videos of the toy with children riding it. This helped me decide it was a safe toy and I am happy with my purchase!

We brought it for our granddaughter when she was 18 months old and she loved it. She pulled it instead pushing it but nevertheless, she really liked it.Now she is two and has a doll carriage which she is liking very much, that needs to be pushed. If the child is a boy, I say go for it! Another option would be a small wagon because they like to cart around their things. I hope this helps. We have so much fun with her; it's great.

It's probably best for children 2+, i bought these for my daughter and she is 21 months and still a bit small for them! I would say they are probably best for ages 3-6, and i wouldnt worry much about a weight limit! They are VERY sturdy!! I sit in them (uncomfortably!) from time to time and they support me no problem! (110lbs!)

Probably ok if your 17 month old doesn't like to put stuff in his/her mouth. It is non-toxic but is a choking hazard depending on the size of the piece. It isn't particularly messy but play with it on a very washable table.

In my opinion, it is going to get boring pretty fast for a three year old. I bought it for my 18 month old and she is almost 2 now and it already seems pretty short for her. I would recommend getting one that is a bit longer....

My personal feeling for safety is 2 under age 5-6 unless they are bigger. I'm sure as many as three could fit but i tend to err on the side go safety.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.
