Would this be appropriate for my grandson's 3rd birthday? (I know that the recommended age is 5-12, but he really loves cars!)

I got it for my 3 year old son he has trouble setting up the track by himself however, so I have to set it up, but he loves it as he spends endless hours playing with it.

He will get a ton of pleasure out of this toy. You will have to do all the work though..haha. The tower is very shaky, and you do need to monitor this. Once set up though, he will have hours, and hours of fun with it though, once he learns the release system. I think the Age 5 is recommendation is to set it up solo/change it.

I got this for my grandson for Christmas and he had just turned 4. He loves to play with it and so do I! I would say if you plan to play with it together it is appropriate.

Yes this would be a acceptable gift for a 3 year old as long as you understand someone will have to assemble it for him and then also be monitoring him to make sure he does not digest/choke on any of the small pieces.

With help from his parents/grandparents to set up the track, he should have fun playing with the cars on the track.

I think it would be fine with help from an adult to set up and supervise. As long as he does not put things in his mouth I think it should ok. My son had track for his cars around the same age.

My grandson is 2 1/2 and he has lots of fun, but you must play with him. Also be patient as he will probably try and do things his way (mine grandson like me to catch the cars and not use the track at first). It's up to your grandson and his creativity. So I would say yes as it is fun for both of us.

If he has already mastered a tricycle and big wheel-type vehicles, he can probably handle the steering - especially in the slow gear. But it's pretty big and bulky, so if he's on the small side, you may want to wait til the 3rd birthday. It's big enough that even older kids can drive it. (my 10 year old can still squeeze in and drive it around). So you'll have it a long time.

I purchased this for my four year old. My twelve and nine year old play with him as does my two year old :) I would say it's best for 3-5 year olds.

Yes it would be appropriate in my opinion. Our grandson will be 5 and we bought this for him last year and he still spends hours playing with it. It is a great buy and very well made.

I am not sure what the weight limit is I am sorry .. I will say that my grandson weighs 32 pounds and is 3 and fits in it very easy. I am guessing by the size of the car a child should be able fit in it comfortably up until the age of 5. Hope that helps!

Hi Kimberly. No, i don't think a 3 year old would appreciate the effort of putting it together, and then playing with it. I'm thinking more like 5.I got this for my 6 YO nephew who loved it.

I bought it for my Grandson at age two. He loves CARS but it is too young to be able to change it from a car to a Transformer. Maybe 1st grade age would be better fit and up.

Three years may be a little young, unless the child has excellent fine motor skills and interest. I recommend age 5 and up for the mind ware gift.

No, I don't think so. I gave this to my grandson when he turned 2. He absolutely loves it. I bought the extra Fisher Price cars which was a good decision. He love this toy and lining up his cars. Now that he is almost three he even uses the hot wheels cars on the track.

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. :)

We bought this for our grandson. Although they wanted it he was too young for it. I would think 3 is the minimum age for this.

I would say best ages are 3 - 5. My grandson is 3 so I know we will get our money's worth

I would suggest that it falls in between these two suggested age groups. My girls are 3.75 and 5.75 and they have both played with this set for the past year. Because there are small pieces, this definitely is not appropriate for one or two-year-olds or any child who is prone to put things in his mouth or nose. But my three-year-old has enjoyed exploring this on a regular basis since she was about 2.75.

I bought this for my 4 year old grandson and it seems to be age appropriate for him. I would not recommend any younger and would not go past 6. that's just my opinion. hope this helps.

We gave the Little Tikes Cozy Truck to our grandson for his 2nd birthday. We are hoping he can use it for many years. His head isn't even close to touching the roof and his feet can't touch the ground yet so the floor board is still in. I'm guessing a 3 year old would fit in it just fine at least until he is 4 or 5 depending on his growth rate.

I think 7 is a good age for this toy. Be aware that not all cars fit in all the launchers, i did not notice until it was too late.

It's ok. My daughter was 2 when I bought it. She loved playing with her older brothers cars, so I thought she would really like it. She played with it pretty steady for a couple of days and hasn't touched it since. I would start with some smaller (cheaper) little people sets first if you haven't already.
