How old should a child be to safely handle this product?

We bought them for our 5 yr. old and 7 yr. old grandsons (it was a request from them!). They were absolutely delighted and play with them all the time. I don't see a safety as being an issue, but the hexbugs are delicate and a younger child may not understand to go easy. Colorful and a great toy!

I'm not sure. My grandson was 5 years old when I bought them for him. But I also have nephews who got them when they were 3 years old - according to their father, they did all right too. They look fragile to me!

Depends on the child. I've know 3+ yo who could probably do ok, and 9 yo who could not. One delicate part of it, the antennas, are vital to its function, and are just very fine wires. The child would have to be careful of that end of the critter. Cats can knock it off a coffee table with no injury, but the antenna are delicate.

These pieces are TINY with lots of littler parts. Maybe 5 yrs. when they don't put things in their mouth - ever!

No certain age. Instead, it is all about weight and height. As long as the child is within those ranges, she should be protected

Hello, Manufacturer recommended age: 6 months - 3 years. Best regards WT-IMPORT

Any age, as long as there is adult supervision. My grandson loves his, when his dad is there to help.

It depends on how you use it. My daughter was 12 and I literally dropped the box on her. Came back later and she had it wired up with fruit. Younger kids you can use it with them to have fun.

Well depends on your child if he/she will be afraid of moving machines like those coin machines outside stores. Also, age wise 2+ will be the exact answer.

I do not know what the instructions might say for recommended age, but I would say about 10 years of age. If it did not get so hot I would say younger, but you have to be able to either tip it over to get the cupcakes out or use a plastic knife to lift them out. I would not trust a little one to do that. The whole thing also gets very warm and you have to load it hot so a little one might get burned if they accidentally touched it.

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.

I guess it depends on the age of the child. My granddaughter was 2 when she got it and her parents had to help her.

I would say a 3-4 year old could use with supervision and some help. The grater requires two hands to operate (as do all hand held graters) so and adult or older child would have to steady the grater as the child turned the handle.

Yes. Our grandchildren, who received it, are ages 11, 9 and 7 and have not had any issues using it safely. Good height when child is seated as well.

I'd say 4 and up is safe. These are very soft and the children will not get hurt by them, but they do run the risk of biting pieces of it off and swallowing it.

My son is 2 1/2 years old and has no issues with pushing the button to release the cars or with knowing how the cars go down the tracks. I would say any child 2 y/o and beyond will be able to enjoy it. the product is surely safe for the recommended 18 months and beyond. Just keep in mind that those that are younger then 18 months will more then likely have vertical stability issues as they are still learning how to keep upright while performing other tasks that require many adjustments to their positions.

It's very safe, I don't think it would be a problem. I got it for my 5 month old girl.

I bought this for my twin niece and nephew for their first birthday. With supervision they used it at 1 year old. Once they can walk and balance better about 18 months should be good. It says it allows up to 150 pounds on it so through 3 years old unless weight prohibits.

Depends on the dexterity and concentration abilities of the child, but for the most part, the 5 year olds and older in my daycare can handle following the instructions. The 7 year olds and older are the most suited for it.

it shouldnt be a problem for any child that can use it by themselves. a younger smaller child might need assistance.
