What age would you recommend this for?

That depends on the parent and the child, some children are more mature, I had my first red Ryder at 6 but then I had my first shotgun at 12. It's all about safety and if the child is mature and responsible enough to be safe.

I bought this for a seven year old boy. The action is a bit difficult for him to operate but possible with clear instruction and supervision.

In my opinion, the average child that age would only be able to use a few of the features. The manufacturer suggests ages 6 and up, but I would say it would be more worthwhile for even a slightly older child like 7. A 5-6 year old would surely enjoy it, just probably not use all of the features.

My grandson was 7 1/2 yr old when we gave it to him. I would say that is about the youngest I would go. I believe children up to 12 years old would get lots of enjoyment and a great learning experience from this item.

I can't remember for sure but I think for the 4.3 they recommended between 4 and 6 years of age I got it for my grandson who is 4 and it was perfect for him you put the child age in and only content come up for they age

Any age! My kids were 5 and 6 when I got theirs. But they would have been appropriate at a younger age as well and I'm sure they will appreciate them for at least a handful more years.

Depends on where your child is at developmentally, but my opinion is for around age 3.

I got ours for a 1 year old and it is fine for him and probably for another few years, for a 3 year old I would go with something bigger so they can grow into it!

I would say any age as long as there is an adult there for the really little ones. Out neighbor is three and loves it.

I think the minimum recommended age is one year old. With that being said I think 7 months might be a bit too young. However we bought this for our 10 month old daughter and she did just fine, but she met most developmental milestones on the early side. As a recommendation, I'd advise waiting a few months,but check the recommended age by the manufacturer.

I would suggest that it falls in between these two suggested age groups. My girls are 3.75 and 5.75 and they have both played with this set for the past year. Because there are small pieces, this definitely is not appropriate for one or two-year-olds or any child who is prone to put things in his mouth or nose. But my three-year-old has enjoyed exploring this on a regular basis since she was about 2.75.

I bought this for my then 2 year old daughter. She's now three and still plays with it almost every day. I'd say it is appropriate for roughly 2-4 maybe 5 years old.

Most reviewers bought it for their 2 year olds (or younger). I bought it for my child's 4th birthday. Personally, I think it works best for 3-4 year olds.

Probably any age. I had a reaction to this product and sent it back. My sister uses it and likes it very much. We are both over 60 years old.

I got it for my 18 month old and it was an instant success. Could probably go 12 month - 3 years depending on the child.

I would say it depends on the child. I would also think typically for a child at least 5 years old but better suited for a child with better dexterity. More suitable for a child 8 years or older.

I bought this for my 3 year old and he LOVES it! My 1 1/2 year old always loves to get his hands on it too! He follows what his older brother does. My 3 year old always says mommy you have owies you need a dr, and gives me checkups! According to the description it says Manufacturer recommended age: 36 months - 7 years, but I think an older kid would be bored with it honestly.

I think a five year old would still like it, since you can build an unlimited number of things. It is difficult for my 3 year old to put the objects together by himself, so a 4-6 year old would probably be the right age.
