looking at this for my grandson, 4 years old. is it worth it and what would he be able to do?

Hello. I am not sure what you would want him to be able to do, but some things that might interest him is that he can use the Tablet for streaming Netflix, downloading games to play, Skyping with you (if his parents set him up first,) etc. Thank you

Absolutely! I bought it for my 1 yr old granddaughter and I am sure she will enjoy it until she is 4, needing less assistance as she gets older. I'm very pleased with the quality.

I think it's a great ideas for boys that age. Especially if play time is indoors. I would buy the large sets though. Like with the helicopter attachments etc. And be sure to order enough because it takes many peices to build certain structures. This could lead to fighting if there aren't enough peices for individual projects. For example if one wants to build a castle and the other a helicopter. More is better in this case from my experience.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

That was exactly the age of my grandson when I gave it to him. I was not around to see how much he played with it. However, it's a wonderful toy, and I have no doubt that he will be playing with it for years. The attention span of a child of that age is a bit limited with anything. His favorite thing was to open and close doors and turn light switches on and off. I really love the toys from this company.

Hi! I bought it for my son who is 3.5 years old and he loves this very much. If your child is into Hot Wheel Cars and other varieties of trucks and cars I can imagine he'd have a good bit of fun with this. All levels of the Rig adjust to lower and off load the cars, it's well made, fun, great for imagination. I can easily see at that age though - depending - that it could be an item easily grown out of. Each parent knows their child best. The toy as I said is fantastic-O though. Hope this helps. Maybe something like a remote controlled car or some of those larger monster Hot Wheels Trucks would be better suited if you find this isn't to your liking. Good luck shopping. :) Hi!

I'm a grandma too. I bought this for my grandsons, age 4 and 6. I think she would enjoy playing with it-lots of creativity. Her ability to build more complex structures will increase over time. (I must admit I enjoy playing with it too.)

A 4yr old would be ok, for this one. I thought I ordered the large one. But this ball is really small and they can injure themselves on them. I would hate to see what the smaller one looked like. My grandson tried bouncing on it and the ball bounced forward and he busted his head on the ground. If your 4year old is very strong and has good control they may be able to use it. I thought my 3yr old grandson did, but everytime he tried it he got hurt.

my grandson was 6 last year when I got it for him and he loves it ..yes he should be able to control it.

It's not terribly complex but a couple parts take a little force to put into place, the back panels & shoulders specifically. With some help the first time or so & if the child takes to this kind of thing (transforming toys) it should go all right. Again I think a 4 yr old will need some guidance at least at first. But this does not have a majorly complex transformation like some others. It also depends a lot on the individual child. It certainly will be an enjoyable toy though.

Absolutely! My 3 y/o grandson tinkers with it, but I believe the prime age (to understand all the imagination invoking features) is best suited to the 4 - 7 year old age range and possibly older. Right now he likes turning the light on and screwing in the screws (by hand) into the workbench holes and the prefabbed word-look building materials that come with it.

Yes it is worth it. Its a great set for a 5 year old. He will love it. However, its very sensitive when playing with one or more kids because it is made of plastic. I recommend this hot wheel because most kids love playing it.

I have a 7 yr. old and he was a bit hesitant at first. I showed him the video of how to ride it and he worked on it for a couple days and was able to do it. Not as a professional mind you, but he was proud of himself and really liked it. He is pretty athletic though so it may be a bit challenging for kids who are not athletically inclined. I will say it didn't hold his attention for very long.

Vernon, my Grandson is 3 and, after pushing the bike around for a week, suddenly started riding it like a pro! A 4 year old should do just fine. If he is tall, take a look at the 16".

Your 4year old grandson will absolutely love it. I was visiting yesterday, and this is probably his favorite toy ever. Gave it to my 3 year old grandson who is now 4. A perfect gift.

I got this for my 4 year old grandson. He loved it and had no problem putting it together. Just keep in mind it may not be suitable for all four year olds, it might depend on their attention span.
