Do you feel that they are safe for kids over 3?

In my opinion yes. Younger than that no, because one of ours had the rubber-band that goes around the finger come off somehow and I would be afraid of a younger child putting that in their mouth. I do have a 13 month old and she looked at it for a bit while I held her, but it didn't really interest her.

I bought these as part of a 9 year old birthday goody bag. They are small and I would not give to any child under 5. I worry too much! God forbid a child just puts in mouth and choked. You would feel horrible. So when I had a 3 yr old at the party, I did not include them. Especially because the bigger kids were shining them at their teeth.

As long as they don't put things in their mouth. They do have batteries in them. My youngest will be three next month and is fine, but every kid is different.

They are perfect for kids 5 and up. Light enough for them to carry w/ very little bulk to them. Hope this helps.....

It really depends on the child. I would say for the average 3 year old yes. My daughter is very tall for her age so they were a bit small.

Depends on the kid...but probably? My daughter (4) and my son (2) love them. I definitely feel like they're geared toward little kids.

Most definitely. I would think that's the perfect age. I have two and my granddaughter is only 16 months. Hardly old enough to hand them to her as a toy. But she giggles at them when I hold her on my lap and we play with them. She definitely has it figured out how to feed the little guys!EDITED: to say: After reading the comment left by CandaceMacan24 , I may agree that 5 and above may even be a better age group than 4 - she makes some good points. Depends on the kid. As a side note, My 16 month old GD isn't scared by it.

Yes, especially with the abuse by my 3 kids age's 16,14, and 11. Yes, I purchased 3 all are fine, however, one got stolen.

i would say they should be okay. we've had ours for several years now, and i had a set from when i was a kid. the little piece that you are supposed to put on the pressure point or whatever has never come loose. my son was 3 when we got them, and he never had any trouble with them, but i had to be diligent in taking them from him when we left the car or he would take them off and set them down! but yeah, i would say if they are needed, they could work for kids too. as far as exact size, i dont know. they fit my son just fine when we got them, but who knows for a 1 1/2 year old if they would stay on the w.sts anyway. they should, they seem snug when new. i would say they should be okay. we've had ours for several years now, and i had a set from when i was a kid. the little piece that you are supposed to put on the pressure point or whatever has never come loose. my son was 3 when we got them, and he never had any trouble with them, but i had to be diligent in taking them from him when we left the car or he would take them off and set them down! but yeah, i would say if they are needed, they could work for kids too. as far as exact size, i dont know. they fit my son just fine when we got them, but who knows for a 1 1/2 year old if they would... » Read More i would say they should be okay. we've had ours for several years now, and i had a set from when i was a kid. the little piece that you are supposed to put on the pressure point or whatever has never come loose. my son was 3 when we got them, and he never had any trouble with them, but i had to be diligent in taking them from him when we left the car or he would take them off and set them down! but yeah, i would say if they are needed, they could work for kids too. as far as exact size, i dont know. they fit my son just fine when we got them, but who knows for a 1 1/2 year old if they would stay on the w.sts anyway. they should, they seem snug when new. « Show Less

I agree with Toby. My kid is 13 and takes care of nothing. It would be hard to break them. It would have to be deliberate.

I thought the same. My kids haven't complained about them though. They are four and two and have very large vocabularies with which to convey EVERYTHING:) A doctor might say different but firm seems good for infants right? Hope that helps.

7 & 6 year old, yes; probably not the three year old. I could be wrong, because I have the four-legged variety of kids, not the two-legged!

I don't think anything is 100% safe, but this outlet should keep most of our little guys safe. Some kids are more curious than others so I suggest that you keep an eye on them just in case. Sorry I could not give you more

I am sure they are safe for newborns. You can use one for tracking practice. The sounds and different textures are good for brain stimulation from birth too. (from a formerly certified birth-3 parenting educator) The age range on toys is not only about safety, it corresponds with normal physical and cognitive development. 6 mos. is when most babies will begin to be interested in or able to play with this toy. The + means there is no age limit.

It would be ok with supervision and assistance only if they do not have skilled balance and control. There is tisk of falling and injury and the line snapping back at you if you slip off. I have assisted with kids as young as 3 on it but never let go of their hand.

Depends on the size of the three year old...I would say yes to the majority of three year olds, but reaching the peddles is the trick....If you child is 37ish inches or taller they should be fine. :)

Toddlers, no problems.. I think my children played with them until about7-8 yrs and had to jump on them to collapse them.

I've used for a 1 and 3 year old and they are amazing. When we travel on windy roads without them we've had vomiting. Never when using them. Word of advice, you do not get to choose the colors you get so if you have a boy that would refuse wearing pink or such, buy in the store. My 1 year old sometimes took them off because they bothered her, 3 year old son thinks of them as web shooters and enjoys wearing them. I highly recommend!

As young as 2 up to ? I have seen parents playing with them even when the children have moved on
