Does the foot protect fingers well enough for a child (age 6) to use it WITHOUT immediate supervision?

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

I don't know about the use of gloves on children. I would recommend manually wrapping to ensure a better fit and plus if he is getting into training he should learn regardless. Also, I would recommend focusing on technique, not heavy bags.

Yes it sure is my Granddaughter just loves it. It is close to floor and stays in one place. No high falls so no getting hurt. Great for beginners. My Granddaughter is 9.

I'm not sure if your child will be able to push the button with one finger. For a full grown adult its not a problem. Pushing it a couple of times I think you do have to put a little pressure on the button to turn it on. With practice or using both thumbs I think she could use it. I'm really happy with mine and for the people I bought them for but they were all adults. The fact that they glow (not real bright to disturb sleep) is worth trying them out. Good Luck!

I bought it for my Granddaughter when she was two. She loved it and still does at almost five. My biggest concern was her fingers getting pinched in the lid, but she caught on quickly & was careful.

Yes and it's very durable. My 4 year old twin grandsons play with my iPad all the time and I feel like it's very protected.

No. I don't think so. The keys that you step on are sized for children's feet. But anything I'd possible. My 2 year old nephew loves it!

I would have to say I do not think so, my hubs has average sized fingers and they were tight fitting for him, but I do not think a child with slender fingers would find them tight enough. :)

I would say no. I purchased this for an active 7 year old and she had a hard time getting used to operating it, falling a few times in the process. In fact, her 4 year old sister wouldn't play on it and said it was "too hard". I don't believe a 3 year old would have the dexterity required and may hurt themselves.

Honestly I have not had any issues with my child being cut or hurt at all. She has had it since 9 months old when she was cruzing and holding on to stuff to walk. I however have stubbed my toe on it several times. I guess if you wanted to be safe (I get it I was there too, baby proofing) maybe a thick tape from Home Depot, I know craft stores actually have foam tape. I guess it really depends on your comfort level, yeah I thought the edges were sharp but it really has not been an issue, very much like the toys you see in libraries and doctor offices.

I don't have any children, so it's hard for me to say with certainty. However, this was designed for adults, so it may be too big to use on the 3-year-old. You might want to look at the version for fingernails. That might be more suitable for you needs.

It,s not a matter of age but rather leg dexterity. A child that puts pressure on its's feet is ready for a jumpy seat..

An adult can get their hand through it so a child certainly can. It will also be easier to slide off a smaller hand as well.

My son started using this at 5 months, but his feet didn't touch the ground until he was about 6 months. I put a phone book under is feet until he was tall enough.

It would be ok with supervision and assistance only if they do not have skilled balance and control. There is tisk of falling and injury and the line snapping back at you if you slip off. I have assisted with kids as young as 3 on it but never let go of their hand.

I think it's fine for small children. The glass is really thick. And the edges are very smooth so they can't hurt themselves.

Yes, and easily. Our son is not very large and his feet touch on the lowest setting.
