Hi - I see many reviews for "my 2 yr old, my 3 year old loves it" would this be good for my 5 and half year old? I hope so. I don't know. Is he too old for it?

Hi, size wise I think you should be ok (unless your child is exceptionally tall, my 5 1/2 yrs old son is 46" and he can still ride his) but I don't know about level of interest. He used to ride his all the time but now all he wants to do is ride his bike. As for the scooter itself, I think it's great, very sturdy and smooth to ride.

I bought them for my twin 5yr olds and they both love it. It really glides easily and fast. I estimate that they will both be using it until age 6 before being comfortable enough for the 2-wheel version.

For a 5 year old its border line. Borderline in that they might be too big for it. It's perfect for the preschool set. Look at some of the scooters that have two wheels instead of three. A five year old might be ready to balance on the two wheels.

I think 2-1/2 might be too young. It isn't really cuddly, the best thing about the toy is how you can walk it on a leash. I'm not sure what the manufacturer recommends, but I think 5 years old would be the youngest I'd buy it for. Your 2 to 3-year old would probably appreciate a plush puppy better. I got my 9-year old son an FAO Schwartz puppy when he was that age. He still sleeps with "puppy."

My son is 3 1/2 and enjoys it. I would stick around that age, in terms of introduction? I'm no expert...

I think so. My son loved it last year and he was over 4 and a half. He still likes it now too.

I bought it for my younger grandchildren. My grandson instantly loved it, and he was about 15 months when I first bought it. My 2-year-old granddaughter likes it, too, but gets bored with it more quickly. It may a bit small for an average 3-year-old.

I don't think 5 years is too young. It depends on your child, but I would give it a try. You can always change the rules a bit. :)

I think that a 5 year would like it if it's new to him. I don't know how long he'd be intrigued, as he would probably put pieces together as they are supposed to go! It would depend upon the child. The major positive about Lego is that it stays together instead of falling apart as soon as you pick it up! It also can be washed if needed. I bought the set for my 2 year old great-grandson, but I, his father, 3 uncles, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather are or have been in engineering, and have played with him since he could hold things. He loves it, and puts the pieces together in all kinds of ways, so it looks different as he plays. He's also fascinated with trucks, dump trucks, trains and such.

I would advise not to give this to any child under three years old. Unless the 2 year old you are asking for is as large as a three year old and as mature as a three year old I would wait. It is a fantastic toy for my three year old grandson who mastered the steering in two days and is only allowed to drive in the low gear until he gains a bit more common sense...he doesn't need more speed yet. I hope this helps you.

I would be careful with a 2 year old. How much longer before he turns 3? My children were 6 and 4 so my youngest is slightly older but not much. My youngest likes to jump off of EVERYTHING so he loves it!

Hi Joanie, not sure if this is actually suitable for a 2 yr old as the car moves very easily and makes it a bit difficult to control. Though it also depends on how mature the child is. I have a 15 months old boy that tries to play with it and manages to move it but we only allow him to try on flat surfaces and for small amount of times. I have to say though, that it is by far one of the best toys we've gotten our 5 yrs old. It's fun and easy to handle for him.

My 3 year old and 5 year old played with it for a half hour and haven't touched it since. It would be age appropriate if they like it as mine is gathering dust.

Yes it would be good for a 5 year old. We have both the original and the Junior. Our 6 year loves the junior! She could have easily played it at 5. I hope you enjoy!

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.

My 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.

Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well. If the boys play together well, there would be opportunities for car races and other creative play, especially if you have other car toys and can combine activities. As a former preschool teacher, I like the older one mentoring the younger and encouraging joint play! They could make block tunnels and obstacles, etc. I have many of the Fisher Price items that have endured years of play from my grown kids and now are being reused for our five grandkids under three years of age. Enjoy these times as a family! Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well.
