Only if you want him to just read and play music on it, nothing ran on this. You can download stuff but isn't powerful enough to run any games or anything. Not even skype works so the cam is worthless. I gave mine to a friend and all they do is watch youtube on it.

Yes I would, depending on how it will b used. You can add memory to it for book, picture music & movie files , so is better than a kindle for OFFLINE use. If it will b used for ONLINE use mostly, my daughter (23) said it runs slow. So if your 8 year old is an online gamer, might want to keep looking.

My 8 year old loves it - has downloaded a ton of free game apps. We have to limit his time but when it's time to use the tablet, he does with happiness and ease.

My grandson is 8 and still likes his. I think you'd be safe to get them for him.

It is recommended for 8 and above but I bought for my adult sons - 23-30 and it kept them engaged playing with it.

Depending on your childs ability. I do think an 8 year old could eventually master the controls, but I think it is a little advanced for an 8 year old. I bought it for my 13 year old and it took him a little bit to master the training level and is now struggling to master the speed setting. I hope this helps.

I bought it for my 8.5 year old and he has enjoyed it. I think it is a little challenging because the music picks up speed as the time ticks down. I think a 10 year old would enjoy it based on what you filled it with. I put some small toys that he likes and his favorite candy. My son likes 'games of chance' so this was a win win for us. The prizes shouldn't weigh much, we put plastic army men, tootsie roll sized candy, the biggest thing in there is sweet tarts. Hope this helps in your decision making.

Yes, they should be just fine for an 8 year old, unless he/she has very small hands. The balls are a little smaller then a tennis ball. My son (who is 45 years old), uses them and they have helped him termendously. I wish you the best. Sally

We bought this for our four year old and he loves it. I think your 8 year old would like since he likes the movie and and especially if he also likes romote control cars. I know my husband and I enjoy playing with it. I notice that the other answers say that he is too old for this but I stand by my answer that he would like it , but then again all children are different and depends on what he is into.

Yes its excellent for an 8 year old. I bought it for my daughter and although she was 11 she was also a beginner. Her band teacher said it was perfect. So yes its good for an 8 year old.

yes big enough for 8 year old; but not big enough through high school, depending on how big your child is.possibly until around 14

Might be a little small for 8 year old. Mine grandsons are 2 and 4 and it is just right for them.

I bought it for my daughter who is 12 and 80 pounds and they work nicely, just this last weekend we were out in very deep snow and she maneuvered great. Hers were easier to put on than mine, so the on and off should be easy enough for your 8 yr old.

Could be difficult to fly for an 8 year old if this is his first helicopter. As Colette stated it really depends upon the child. The is more difficult to fly than some of the toy grade helicopters. I would check out http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/helicopter-for-kids.html or the Syma S107 for an 8 year old

It is good for a nine year old. My son was eight when he got his. Don't expect too much out of it, and you'll both be happy.

The box says ages 4 to 99. It depends on what a kid is into, I think it's be great for an eight year old.

I think it would be great for him. I got it primarily for my daughter who is 8 to take with her to her dad's house and to use as a learning tool for our home schooling.

my 8 year old daughter likes it a lot, its kinda small and light. It has a lot of commands. she plays with it everyday/.

I would say that it depends on how tall your 8 year old is, BUT... if I were still 8, I would ride this thing till the wheels fell off! It's a great and well built ride for the money.
