Would these toothbrushes be too big for my two year old??? Has anybody used these with younger children? Thanks for you answers in advance!

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.

This one is a little big for my 2 yr old. The handle is definitely longer than a usually toothbrush for toddler. I wish there is a smaller version than this.

These are PERFECT for a 2 YEAR-OLD or toddler. I bought these for my family and as 8 and 10 year-olds this brush was tiny. It was very very soft, perfect for fragile gums.

Not ever having had kids, I was unaware that two year olds had teeth. But I do have the toothbrush which I measured for you. The plastic base of the bristles (soft ones) is just a tad short of one inch and the width is just over 1/4 inch. While the handle is 6 inches long, it is narrow. Doubt if this is helpful but Amazon asked for my input.

yes, these tooth brush is a little too big for a two year, a smaller version with shorter hander would be great for kids. I really love this product and is actually better than many well known brand name out in the market.

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.

I did my research and found out that the brush is not intended for kids under 4 years old but after that age I think it's a really great product. I've been using the adult model for years as my dentist recommended it!

I just recently bought them for my 12 month old and they work great. He is 26lbs and 33" so very big for his age. He still has a little room to grow into them. I believe they would have fit him when he was a newborn.

The smaller ones are very small (3-4 inches maybe) and the larger are 5-6 inches. I got them for my 2 year-old daughter and the smaller ones were too small for her to use.

I would guess these are too big and heavy for a two year old. They are pretty light, but would sort of fall off a two year old unless you had other support like a blanket or something.

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.

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 think so. I would imagine the height of your 2 year old is too short. They have to fit into the weight and height that the manufacturer recommends.

My son is 2 years old and he uses it on the lower setting. The higher one is too strong for him and his tender gums. The hadnle can be a little wide for smaller hands, so at first, He letme brush for him, but then he wanted to do it himself..he likes the littel "music" that declares he's done.

Not sure? I started using a children's toothbrush, but now use my electric toothbrush. May just be a sales gimmick? But the toothpaste is awesome!

i would imagine the only issues would be the size not fitting tightly enough to be effective, and the child removing them. so, you could certainly try them. i dont remember what age my son was when we started using them. but i didnt now about the ages 3 and up part, so it might have been before then. i just cant remember!

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.

In my opinion they are a little bulky and heavy for a 2 month old. Also, they are adjustable but I dont think it woukd fit correctly on a two month old.

Depends on your kids, I guess. Ours played with them a lot...and wanted more so they could talk to each other. We had to censor the Furby's language at times...we're pretty particular...but other than that, the kids paid a lot of attention to them for 6-9 months. We ended up with several of varying sizes. The littlest ones never worked we'll at all but the larger ones were fine. Personally, think they're creepy, but the kids liked them.

I've used this tip brush on my 14 month old granddaughter's 8 front teeth. She actually opens her mouth when she sees the brush coming to her mouth and then beginnings sucking it, but this is prepping her for the big girls tooth brush. LOL!!! Try it!!!
