What age would you recommend this for?

I bought this for my daughter when she was 8. She is tall for her age, but not extremely so. She had no trouble riding it. We had the seat fairly low (not bottomed out), but now (she is 10) we have moved it up 1/2 way. It took her a while to get used to the gears, but since we live on a hill, I felt it necessary for her to get used to them. She now loves the gears, although she doesn't use all of them yet. I suspect any girl that can already ride a bicycle and is of the appropriate height would be able to ride this. Basically, if your child is taller than the average height of an 8 year old girl, they will be tall enough. If they are taller than an average 12 year old, maybe get a bigger bike. As a test, I put my just-turned-8-year-old son on it and it is a hair too big. He is somewhat smaller than his sister was at that age. I hope this helps. Oh - specifics: My daughter is now 4' 10" and it fits her fine. Much taller, and while this bike would work, you might want the next size up for growing room... She was 4' 6"ish when we bought it. Of course, leg length matters. Kids with longer legs can get slightly bigger bikes. Kids with shorter legs needs somewhat smaller bikes. My suggestion is to go to a bike or toy store, and put your kid on bikes of differing wheel sizes. Find the right size. This bike has a bit lower seat than normal for the size of tires.

I would recommend Ages 2 and above...however like all kids are they will tend to loose Interest after couple weeks...a downside as well is the fact that it uses batteries....also do not expect any well taken shot from a two year old!! most of the pictures are of his feet or the ceiling....

The manufacturer recommends ages 3-8, however a previous reviewer said 4-10 in her estimation. I think it mostly depends on your kids' size and skill level. If they are over 8 but relatively small for their age, this set should work great. On the other hand if they are a tall/big kid for their age or they've grown in skill level and need a bigger kit, go for a different set.

I'm in my early thirties, it is now a toy for my kids so lets say age range of 3 to 9 as well, lol

i wouldn't recommend for that age. i think it is best for 12 years old and under.

I think it just depends on how long the child wants to play with it. We have 4 and 5 year old's that come over and play with it more than my 3 year old. But scale wise, in my opinion, it is perfect for 3-4 year old's.

We bought it for our 10 year old grandson. He loved it! 5 years old might be ok, but you would have to set it up and give him some guidance on it.

I think it is better suited for 2-3 year olds. A six year old may like it the first few times, but will get easily bored as its surface does not allow for much movement for an older child.

Hey, my opinion is between ages 3-8 is a good age ranage for this toy. My 3 year old son loved it but for older kids who like to pretend fixing stuff it will do just fine.

Personally I think yes it would be too young for a 2 1/2 year old. My 11 month old gets bored with it. I'd say up to 1 1/2 maybe. That is just my personal opinion though.

Obvious choking hazard /not under 3yr warning aside... I personally would have loved this when I was 7-8yrs old. Certainly 10+ but if a child is very in to drawing, I wouldn't hesitate at 7yrs. for sure.

I got this for my son when he was 13 months old. He likes to ride in it and also push it. Amazon's description and I think what is on the box says 18 months to 8 years. 1 year old is fine as long as they are walking a bit and have decent body control. I would think kids will get bored with by age 4.

Ours malfunctioned about 4 months after we got it. But to answer your question, I think a two year old would do well with it. My boys were 3 and 4 and both did good. Just make sure you check the age recommendation on the games as some would be a bit to advanced (basic math and reading) and may cause frustration if someone can't be with him helping him along.

Personally my 4 year old uses it nicely. I feel it could be used up to a 10 year old. So 4-10 would be my answer!

Any age is good with supervision. I would suggest 10 and over with minimal supervision .

I purchased this toy for my three year old grandson who loves it. As with any toy it depends on the child and their mature on if it would be suitable for them. I can't remember what the age was recommend on the original box. I'm of old school and believe children should always be supervised when playing with toys of any sort thus you can't always go by the age recommend on them. I hope this helps.

Depends on the child but I'd say no .... closer to 5 should be the starting age
