Why is this toothbrush rated ages 8+? I'm looking for a good electric toothbrush for my little guys (ages 3 & 5) and was hoping this was it.

It's fine for all ages - however keep the unit fully charged otherwise the kids will push too hard on the Bristles and the brush won't last that long.

I can only think maybe because of the size? However my girls (2 and 3) use them and have no issues.

Age recommendation because the power of the brush rotation. There are non rechargeable battery operated ones for younger age

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.

my son used it mostly from 6 months to a year. He still plays with it some but doesn't chew on it as much anymore however he started teething a bit early than most. I am planning on doing a baby review for it on my blog. you can find it on my profile if you are interested but the review won't be up for a few days. kathryn!

My son was almost five when I got it for him. If you have a chaotic, multi-kid household, just be aware that you will be stepping on cat hair covered organs occasionally. Despite the fact that it didn't stay together for too long - A big ziplock bag is a good investment for this thing- my son was very interested in it, and enjoyed putting it together. I think 5 is probably a good age.

I would say yes they are a great item for that age group just be sure to order an extra or two one of ours broke with in min or had a hole in it from the begining, but we still have a few around the house that have been going strong for a few months now so I think it may have just been a fluke with that one but be sure to have an extra one or two just in case as preschoolers are not going to understand it if they got the one in a hundred that is junk and there is no replacement.

Clearly this is a popular toy for that age group, mine was for a couples' 60th anniversary, both 90-ish. Maybe it should say 'suitable for ages 85-95' on the packaging?I hope you manage to get it sorted John. I suppose you'd at least have some evidence (this thread) to back you up if you do end up breaking the thing, but I'm sure you'd rather it didn't come to that.Good luck,Harry

I am 30 and I have fun with it. All of my kids enjoy it ages 2,5,8, and 10. Obviously the younger ones need supervision since it is not meant to be tossed arround.

I gave 2 chewables to Both my sons ages 9 and 13 in the morning everyday - no change in appetite - they still eat anything that doesn't walk off the plate ;) they're boys maybe girls are different ... I stopped using it after about 6 months because it didn't really do much as far as focus is concerned...

I bought this when my little one was just over 2 years. It was intended for his older brother who was just over 4 years old. The 2 year old played with it more than his older brother and still does 1 1/2 years later. Depends on the kid but my 2 year old played with it quite a bit.

All 3 of my boys love it and they are 5, 8 and 10. Girls will enjoy it too. My 5 year old really likes doing it, but he needs help and it takes him a long time. My older boys can easily do it on their own.

My 4 month liked it but he was also teething ( now 6 months and has 5 teeth =0(. So, my opinion is it is great for any age especially if they are teething. If the 4 month old isn't teething yet they will be eventually.

Absolutely. In fact, I'm about to place an order for my child, who is 14 months old. He sees his older sister using one every morning and is completely fascinated by it. I should say, though, that I would be the one doing the brushing for him. The toothbrush itself is pretty heavy (well, at least heavier than your standard).

I bought this for my then 4 year old and he loved it! I don't remember what the age group said but I remember the description said not for children under 3.

I would say the toy is too young, my daughter (who I got it for) is now 2, and she will push the button and play, but not really for very long. But if it's a new toy to them, they might. Just my opinion.

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.

It just says "not suitable for children under 2". I have used it for my 3 year old and 6 year old. Seems to be too low of a dose (.5 mg melatonin) for much older than that.

Hey, my opinion is between ages 3-8 is a good age ranage for this toy. My 3 year old son loved it but for older kids who like to pretend fixing stuff it will do just fine.
