Can you use this clipper on young kids under 5?

Yes, very sharp - parent should use it on the kids. Excellent clipper. The best I've ever used.................

I don't see why not. These are regular 'adult' clippers, they just tend to clip very cleanly and don't leave the jagged edge that cheaper clippers leave.

I cannot see why not? I assume you are using another clipper now. This is just a better clipper IMHO.

I guess, if you are careful. It is fairly small, but not as small as one made just for the little ones.

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 my 2 year old and he's pretty sharp for his age. My 3 and 6 year old got it no problem but you do need a reward. Overall, a great system in my opinion.

No the clippers themselves are not but you could use chargeable batteries. I use the smaller one on my Yorkies face and never changed the batteries yet. They are much nicer especially for my Yorkies. My 14 year old never minded me trimming him and he started acting real nervous whenever I got the clippers out. He does much better with these two instead of the larger one I always used. Hope this helps.

I guess it depends on the child but I personally wouldn't use it on children under 8.

maybe a 3 or 4yr old -maybe not a 2 yr. old though. would be tuff for them because their fingers would be smaller.

I don't think anyone younger than 10 could use this. It is really hard to use. My daughter has never picked it up again since the first time she tried it.

This is not designed to be a children's product but it is soft. If you look at the packet, it clearly says do not use for children under the age of 3 (so I assume it is ok for the children who are above that age.) Oral B children (stages) brush heads are available everywhere except the US. I am yet to understand the reason for this. This will greatly increase motivation for kids to use power brushes.

My five year old can use it with my help. He hasn't developed the fine motor skills needed to keep the gear teeth meshed, and often skips a few teeth, leading to some frustration.It's hard to say if at 6 years old one could master it completely- that depends on each child's development. But with a little practice maybe they could do it.

I would not. It will dull the clipper blade pretty fast, not to mention pull on the hair.

It would not be an issue. I am only 5.4 and it works great! My younger nephews that are shorter than me use it too and it works like a charm for them.

It would be the same as using any other hair dryer on a 3 year old. I do not have small children, so that is the most I could share with you.

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'vebeen using the adult model for years as my dentist recommended it!

I don't think so. I assume, by the time my 2 yr old reaches 4 we wouldn't be able to use this.

Yes. It is an awesome clipper. Super easy to clean. Hope my new one lasts 20 years like my old one did

Hi Asheka, Absolutely it can be used for a 5yr old. That's good parenting; get them aligned with a healthy and organic consciousness at an early age. It's the best product I've found thus far...

I am not sure. My son has very thick hair, but it has never stopped clippers. It has very easily cut my son's hair in a single session. Since this has many length settings, you could always try cutting on one of the longer settings, and then go over the hair with a shorter setting. All I can say with certainty, is in my experience, this is the best clipper I have found for my son and I have tried many. It is quick in comparison, and quieter than the others, and is easily manageable for my smaller hands.
