I believe both are the same idk why they said 2 different ages. The only different one would be a 6v but the other 2 are 16v

Each set starts with easy circuits and works up to more complicated ones. Get a starter set and the you can add other sets to that. We have the green energy set, but the lights and sounds one would be good too. Older kids will be just as interested as younger ones.

If the 11 year old was 5 feet tall or more I would go a step up to a "junior" set. I think Yamaha makes one. They are more expensive. While the quirky of the Gammon is good for a children's set it is really for the 4-10 year old. Hope this helps

I think 7 is a good age for this...my 3 year old is a bit small but figured it out in short order.

I bought for my 3 year old, even with the foam inserts it fits a little big. I would suggest age 5 not 3.

I would say from age 1 up. I got one for my one year old and another for my 5 year old bother they both love them.

This is probably the best one you can get for a 7 yr old. When he gets a little older you may want to expand to something a little better such as the Japanese ones though. I am 13 and bought this and wasn't completely satisfied but my 8 yr old brother was

My grandson is 7 yrs old and 80 lbs now and can still use his but I think that I would suggest 70 lbs and under. He got his 2 years ago so he probably was around 50 lbs. My granddaughter has one and she's 5 yrs old and around 40-50 lbs, (a little chubby) but she really rocks on hers. This brand is the best out there, I've checked them all and they're the best.

The age range recommended by manufacturer is from 4 to 24 months. My son is 5 months now and he loves it, he gets entertained a lot... I recommend it

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.

It says "Manufacturer recommended age: 24 months - 6 years". That's probably about right. My daughter is 3.

Hi, perhaps below 5 would be good. For big kids, maybe good is good to try the Ultra version.

I'd say 2-5 yr olds. My 4.5 yr old still loves it, but some things will be almost too small soon. My 2 yr old loves it but some things are a little too fragile for her and she damages things.

My daughter was 3 years when using this, so in my view 3 - 5 is more appropriate.

I'd say it's best for 2/3 to 6/7 year olds. I have a 3 yr old and 5 yr old who play with it a ton (both girls) and their big brother (8 yrs old) joins in sometimes but loses interest quickly.

I would recommend 4 or 5 and up. My (just turned) three year old makes a mess of it more than actually enjoying or playing with it.
