would this be recommended for a 4 1/2 yr old?

yes! my son loves his set, he got it last year for Christmas, it is well made and perfect size for a 4yr old. Highly recommended.

I bought this set last year for my 3 year old grandson. He is 4 now and still plays with it, although he is quickly physically outgrowing it.

We bought one for a 4 year old. She loves it. It is the right size and sturdy enough to last a while. The sound quality is as good as a full size set. I highly recommend it.

This set is perfect at that ageMy daughter was 8 and it was still ok but slightly small at age 8

Depends on the child but I'd say no .... closer to 5 should be the starting age

I would say yes :) it might be getting a touch on the smaller side for the 2 year old.... But the love of playing with houses and forts never goes away.

My 6 year old got enjoyment out of it and I think sitting with him and playing helped him understand it. I would think a 4 year old could possibly enjoy it, and if not alone, at least for the time with the adult

I agree that the InnoTab is going to be a little too easy for her. My son is six and it's not as fun/challenging for him. My four year old loves it. The games for this machine top out at age 8, and especially if she's bright I think she'd be easily bored by the games you can buy for this. Leap Pad2 I think is a little more appropriate for that age, but also she's going to top out pretty quickly. DS is probably a good option for her, though the games are not always geared towards learning if that is a concern. Good luck!

Yes, I do think that this is an item that would be ok for both your 4 year old and 18 month old.

No I would not recommend it. The big question to ask as well is how is your child with his/her toys

No I would say this would be better for ages 1 to 5. And it would have to be a small 5 year old.

No, not at all. My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter manages it okay, but still has room to grow with it. It should be perfect for a 3-4 yr old. It's really nicely constructed, also.

No, I would not buy it for a one year old. Yes it was an awesome gift for a 4 year old.

It's simple but not simple enough for a 4 year old. They are a snug fit so it would be tough for a little one in my opinion

I would not think a 3yr old would enjoy this. I would suggest 6/8 +. It is neat toy, but somewhat involved.

I would not consider it a toy and think that it would not be appropriate for a 2 year old. I would recommend an age range of at least 5 and up. I actually bought one for myself.

Possibly, but I wouldn't think so. I got it for my daughter a bit before she turned 1, and she still plays with it regularly at almost 2. Even my 4 year old likes it when my daughter gets it out, although he loses interest after a few minutes.

I think it might be dangerous for a 2 yr. old...it is very fast. There is a model for kids age 2 to 5 which would be safer.

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.

I bought it for my daughter who just turned 3. She is a gentle kid who, despite playing quite delicately, broke a few small, plastic features (like the head off of the shower), etc. within 24 hours of owning the set. The pieces are exceptionally small and fragile. Additionally if your child is in a phase of putting things in their mouth, I would say "definitely not" good for a 2-3 year old. Probably better for 3 1/2 - 4 year olds.
