what is the suggested age for this car?

My 5 year old loves the truck but then again he has been driving since he was 2yrs! Point being it is easy to use and rugged as long as the kid knows not to run off a cliff with it. Its slower than the faster racers out there and is realistic which keeps kids attention. If the kid knows how to run a car and not slam into walls then they are ready for this truck.

I don't understand the question? If a person finds it enjoyable, and can handle the sticks on the controller, then there is no suggested age.

3-6 probably. My 3 year old enjoys it but hasn't really gotten the idea of steering but he has a cautious personality. When my 10 year old boy was 3, and we got one of these for him, he took to it like he had been driving for years. I think by age 6, most kids are too big for this type of toy yet my 10 year old will still manage to squeeze himself into this one and drive it around. He drove the first one until the plastic on the wheels was gone. I think we got rid of it after he turned 8. Hope that helps.

My 4 yr old loves it althought much of it is too hard right now. I would say 4-10 years old.

It can hold up to 130 lbs so I'd assume atleast to age 6. It would depend more on their height. But honestly I'm 5'2 and 130 lbs and I've drove it and wasn't too uncomfortable and it held me just fine.

10 years old is probably the right start. I've let 5-8 year olds fly it, but I helped by controlling up/down. Good news, he can crash it 50 times and not break a thing. Good learning experience.

I don't think so. Age 8 would be much better. The car is very fast and more difficult to handle than what a 4 year old could manage. But I'f you're really getting it for yourself, that's another matter!

I have purchased this car for children between the ages of 2-5 yrs. I am not sure why this one says 2 yrs. as opposed to 3 yrs. However, having purchased this exact one and several others I can tell you that it is the same size as one listing for use by 3 yrs and up. They support upwards of 200 lbs. This type of car is a big hit and I do recommend purchasing it. A 2 yr. old should be able to handle maneuvering the car. Like with anything he / she will get better with practice and experience. There are other brands but I can only attest to the quality of the plasma brand being that I own several and have yet to have a problem with any of them.

You have to do what you feel is safest for your little one. That being said, the seats do lean back as far as you want them to. I think a 5 month old would be just fine. I'm not sure what model year I have. We bought it new in January of 2014. I love it even more now than when I wrote the original review.

We purchased this for our 5 year old. I would say ages 4-7 would be fine for this stroller. Hope that helps

We purchased it for our seven year old. I would say probably 8 to 10 years old.

I think height ids great for this car. My daughter enjoys it, she is 2, but a little too short. My friend who is in her late 20's fit into this car, I'm sure your 5 yr old will be just fine.

ages between 11-17 is what I suggest. My son is 16 and really enjoyed building this model. He gave it great detail while painting...

I agree with those who say the car is hard plastic. It is also a delightful toy that my granddaughters, 1 & 3, love to play with often. I'd suggest the first time it is thrown or used inappropriately, the car is taken away for about 5 minutes. When the tantrum is over, the car can be returned with instructions for proper play. Enjoy your grandson!

the car is meant more for a 2 to 4 year old. I bought the car for my 2 yr old boy. I have a 5 year old girl and she drives it but she wont be able to ride in it here in the next year.

Hi Gail - My 10 year old rides it around the kitchen and I know college kids ride it up and down the hall. I'm in my 50's and tall and rode it too. But I think depending on the size of your child they should be at least 4 or 5 years old. It moves pretty easily especially on say wood floors. It should work in a garage and driveway tho gravel might wear into the tires (replaceable) a bit. My son practices texting while driving it too. I remind him it is against the law to text and drive. The temptation is too strong. Any other questions feel free to ask. Tom

It has a little plastic piece that can be placed in the floor of the car so that a baby can sit IN the car and play. As the baby grows the plastic floor piece can be removed and it can be the "Flintstone" type car it is supposed to be, thus making the car age appropriate for a child as young as 6-8 months up to 3 or 4!!!

I bought one for my daughter last year for Xmas. She was 8 years old. I taught her all the controls, and adjusted the throttle down so it wouldn't go too fast. Month later, I was adjusting the throttle to go faster. I think the age limit would be 6 for the youngest. But, they need to be somewhat responsible, comprehend that it could be dangerous. ENJOY & HAVE FUN!!!
