Why is this recommended for kids older than 3 years? My in-laws gave this doll to my 10-month-old baby and she LOVES it. She smiles at the big eyes and strokes the hair (but also pulls the hair out). I was going to get her a couple of extra in case one gets lost or needs to be washed. But now I'm worried because the product description says it's for 3 years and up.

probably because most ty toys have little beads inside them that could be a choking hazard

The t-shirt and backpack isn't sewn onto the doll. I got this for my 2 and 1 yo nieces... they both love it. Bought it for the 2 yo first and good thing too. The top (backpack sewn onto top) was removed and lost by toddler. We had to get a second Dora doll because 2 yo was embarrassed by Dora's nakedness.But they both love this. Got Dora's backpack for both nieces. And the Diego doll for 2 yo niece too.

I am unsure why, but Amazon adds the "children 3 and up, contains small parts" etc warning to many products that don't apply, products clearly designed for infants.Look at the manufacturer age instead- this one says 2 and up, so if it's sold in the US it contains no choking hazards.

Well, all i can say is this: at 20 months its reasonable for me to assume that the developmental stage she is at right now, i would like to encourage you to get it. I say this because it has 4 wheel stability. This will help her motor skills and encourage muscle development. And i believe with supervision, you will be pleased watching her play on a pretty safe toy. She will grow into it regardless. God bless and good luck.

I would advise not to give this to any child under three years old. Unless the 2 year old you are asking for is as large as a three year old and as mature as a three year old I would wait. It is a fantastic toy for my three year old grandson who mastered the steering in two days and is only allowed to drive in the low gear until he gains a bit more common sense...he doesn't need more speed yet. I hope this helps you.

That depends on how developed your child is. If they are sitting up at 6 months and are able to pull a little lever then 6 months is appropriate. I do not agree with the other person. If this is hard for you to assemble, then you are not capable of raising a child. This was super easy to assemble, all you might need is a screw driver. And if the child's hand does put pressure on the "road", yes it does stop, only at that very moment, it starts right back up again though. I think that helps teach cause and effect. My boy and girl loves this toy. The stand on it, jump on it and it still works great. That depends on how developed your child is.

Started using it at about 4 months I think, once her head was not so wobbly. She loved it then and now at 10 months still loves it, she is now 72cm and we have it on the middle height setting. It's very handy to entertain her while you vac or do dishes, but after about 10 mins she is ready to escape!

I think that any little girl that is into baby dolls would enjoy it! It's a popular 1st doll since it's soft and cuddly, but older girls would enjoy all the various accessories and outfits, and would just interact with it in a different way. It's a hit with my 1 and 3 year old girls!

Yes, I think 3 is still a good age for this. My daughter is just over 2 and she's very tall for her age & I don't think she'll outgrow it any time soon. So the size is good for a 3 year old & its a very fun gift!

NO. I sell this (great) game at a specialty brick&mortar, and while every child is different, I would never recommend buying Suspend for a child as young as 3. If you have no intention of actually playing the game as it's meant to be played...do whatever you want and make up your own rules. It'll still be fun enough, I suppose, and they are likely to learn something, but you will generally get more play value out of a toy by adhering more closely to age recommendations. They exist for a reason. A company like Melissa & Doug not only rates ages based on safety regulations, but on the developmental stages of the child. Off hand, I know Blue Orange Games makes some balancing games that I would recommend for a three year old...but for now I would pass on Suspend.

It's a Gund it's a high quality stuffed animal. The eyes are firmly attached to the one I bought, but I still wouldn't give it to any child under three just to be safe. The manufacturer says for ages 12 months to 5 years. There are some cute stuffed animals out there with embroidered eyes for very young children.

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 bought it for a friend of mine. Her son's 1st birthday. She said it's his favorite and sturdy. He started to walk at 13m old. With that said, I've seen a multitude of parents blaming a toy for being inept, when in fact their child just couldn't walk well, which wobbly walking is normal. My son used something similar, but started walking about 9 months old. Long story short....depends on the child and how willing the parents are to not place blame.

I think 15 months may be a little too young.....depends on learning skills.....it is a great doll to learn on and they also have one for a girl I think but I still have my grandson's that is over 20 yrs. old and I bought one for my great grandson when he was two......so it is really how well they do at learning things good luck and enjoy......

The box says it is recommended for ages 8+. I think they recommend it for this age because they need a bit more hand coordination. This set is better made than some others we have had in the past too. My daughter is 8 and absolutely loves this set. It allows for a lot of creativity.

My daughter was a year old when I gave her the Baby Stella Peach doll. She loves it! I believe the pacifier is too large to be a choking hazard. It comes attached to her by a thread of thin tiny plastic (like a clothing tag) so possibly that could be a choking hazard?? My daughter rocks a binky on a "leash" so I cut the plastic off and bought a matching binky "leash" for the doll. Worked perfectly. She is 2 now and I am buying her the Baby Stella Blonde doll. Looking at her maybe (and that's a big maybe) the hair ribbons could be considered to be a choking hazard??... If I feel they are I will just remove them.

Not sure what the manufacturers recommended age is for KidKraft washer/dryer but we bought one for our 3-year-old and she loves it. We also bought her the kitchen and refrigerator set when she turned one. Good quality and she plays with it everyday! Hope this helps.

My daughter is 4 1/2. She has had this doll over a year. The hair has not fallen out but is very low quality. From the very beginning it felt almost sticky and tangled right away. It does not have the texture of most dolls like Barbie and such. I brushed it out a few times and braided it. The problem with that is the hair so spaced out that the doll looks bald. I would not recommend this doll and instead would recommend either the Cinderella toddler doll, who has really really nice hair, or the repunzel sold at the Disney store. Hope this helps, my kiddo really just uses the dress for her other dolls
