Would this item be dangerous for a 6 year old?

I think any sort of 'travelling or moving' toy can be dangerous for a child....of any age. It would need to have a parents' supervision in a safe area with proper footwear and safety gear....(helmet and elbow and knee protection) away from car and foot traffic....perhaps one's own driveway for starters. It is well made and I bought it for my 7 year old grandson....who plays baseball and soccer and many other sports all with their own inherit dangers.

Yes, it would - six is a bit young for this kind of thing. I would only recommend it if the six-year old has previous experience with skateboards and they had adult supervision while riding the sole skate.

I don't know, if it were my kid no, I would not let him/her have one. A scooter would be much more appropriate with a more responsive turning with the handlebars, as well as a more reliable breaking mechanism. Plus unless you have pristine-like flat surfaces it has problems with bumps that severely slow you down especially if you don't have enough leg power to propel yourself over them. I hope this helps you make a safe and educated decision for this child.

I think so. The one I had was very wobbly and they are hard to turn. The wheels seemed too loose. I think a skateboard is safer.

There is no special protection. It is like any other sewing machine, and I would NOT recommend no supervision for a 6 yr old.

Only if your going to use one piece of it. It's not very strong so I wouldn't use it to keep a child safe. Hope that helps.

It might be a little young to manipulate all the pieces without breaking them. If the child is very aware of how to handle small objects, it could work. But honestly I'd say close to 6-7 years old.

I'm not sure it should be used by a 6 year old because of the danger of getting fingers crushed or pinched but it is easy for an adult to use without much effort

I bought it for a 2 year old and do not see any issues with it being unsafe.

Probably. My grandson was a little young for it. I think a six-year-old would love it assimg he/she has imagination and likes to play.

No. I have a 4 & 6 year olds who have abided it for as long as we have it and no breakage.

The 'dart' is rather hard and shoots with quite a bit of power. I don't think it is safe for kids under 10, if then.

No. Kids love this kind of thing. As far as small children are concerned, it seems to me that many parents buy things that are too advanced for the age of the child. From all the reviews I've read on various toys, this is a very common practice. Use your own judgement. The six year old will be happy with it.

It is fine for a 6 year old, but she might get board of it after a while of using it. I think she would love it.

Yes, this is safe for kids and they really like it. I like it because it do not need any batteries and electric circuits. Its pure mechanical in operation, spring based. I really have bad experience with battery base toys. I will absolutely recommend it for kids of 6+ age.

Depending on your 6-year old's strength - yes. If you tighten it VERY tight...probably not...but, I would say, a child could open this very easily. If not, I instructed my then-8 year-old to ask an adult for assistance.

I think the table would be fine for a small 6-year old. Just a suggestion: you might want to check the height of the table listed in the description, and compare it to your child's height.

Kids can hurt themselves with anything. I would not let a baby who wants to eat everything play with the set unsupervised. The knobs on the sticks are glued on and I would worry about a choking hazard if they came off. The triangle is fine, my kid played with it a lot and never got nicked or cut. I could go into how each and every part of the set could cause harm but as I said kids can hurt themselves or others with just about anything in their toy box. All I can say is my son absolutely loves the set. He has not impaled himself, he has not scratched himself on the metal parts and I would recommend this for kids who love music and/or making noise. I hope this helps. I have to add that these days it seems people worry too much about toys that could be harmful. Just watch your kids, don't let them run with the sticks and don't let them jimmy the knobs off. Have fun, make noise, and enjoy their faces when they discover the awesome sound of a tambourine.

I think a 6-year old could probably fire it, but might have trouble pumping it back. It isn't a super heavy pull, but it's stronger than most pumps.

My 6 year old can, I'll try it out on my 3 year old tomorrow and update. I believe I have seen him open it before though.
