After reading the reviews it seems a lot of toddlers under two are using this slide. Does anyone have a three or four year old that is using it?

I have a petite 3.5 year old that does play with this slide. We've had the slide 2 years now, so she doesn't play with it as much now as she did when she first got it (it's no longer the new hip thing). However, I do think it is still fun for her. Even though she's older, she still gets excited when she slides down. I like having the slide because it offers opportunities for physical play on days the weather doesn't allow us outside. Also, with two little ones in a high-rise apartment, going outside is a hassle. I am still happy with this purchase and like having it for my 3-year-old to play with. I've seen other play slides like this, and prefer this to the others I've seen as well. I have a petite 3.5 year old that does play with this slide.

It is definitely Better for the younger toddlers. It is small so the trip down is short. If the child is too tall, they practically reach the floor before they even go down. I have one and it is very sturdy and could easily support an older child, though. My son is three and still uses it, but he is autistic and has very poor balance and coordination so we needed a slide that was smaller for him. My eight-year-old thinks it's fun though LOL

My 2 year old is about the same length as the slide. She does like to climb up and down it still. Not sure how long she will enjoy it.

Our 4 year old likes it, but he doesn't get much "slide" out of it. What he enjoys the most is sliding down onto a water slide so he can keep going. But now that it's winter, he won't use it and I expect he'll be too big next year. I would recommend a 6ft slide.

I think the slide would be pretty short for a 3-4 year old. My twins boys turned two a month ago and they play on it every once in a while but not like when they got it last Christmas and I think that is because they are used to longer outdoor slides from summer playground play.

Our daughter is 3 now and she still loves this slide. We use it a lot as a slide into her little kiddie pool. It's a perfect size for that. Hope this helps.

My 4 year old and 2 year old both love it. I got it for my daughter last Christmas when she was 3 and she still really enjoys it. She is very tiny though, it may be to small/flimsy for the average sized 4 year old.

I think a 3 year old would be too old for this toy. I gave it to my 9 month old nephew and he loved it. Now that he is 18 months old and walking, he hardly plays with it, too many things to get into and explore I guess. He might go back to playing with it. I would not give this to a 3 year old.

We bought this for my 3 year old at the time. He is now 5. I would say its perfect for 2 little ones ages 2 or 3, but as for two kids over 5, I would say it would be a bit crowded as my son barely has enough room to sit in middle and play with his toys around him. They would fit, but it wouldn't be very roomy.

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.

I believe this would be fine for a 2 to 3 year old. At four I would look for something different. My granddaughter is 15 months but in the 97th percentile for height and 80th percentile for weight and she still loves it and rides it very happily.

Haven't had it a year, but used it on 4 different occasions...taking it Dow and putting it up. I'm very satisfied. My two year old son loves it. My wife has gone down the slide several times too.

I have 3, one of each of my boys - your four year old will not be able to "play" with it. It is cool but it's not a kids toy! There are lots of other bumblebee's out there that are easier for that age group to play with - this is not one of them.

I would say it's ok for kids up to four years old but too small for older kids. It's basically designed for toddlers but the motor is noisy and scares younger kids.

In my opinion, any child from 1-2 and up would have fun playing with it, however, it has small coins that they can put in their mouth, I would say its safe for kids older than 3. My 5 year old got it for Christmas last year, and seems like she will be enjoying it for many years to come since she loves to play store.

I would say 2 and 3 year olds although small 4 year olds may be able to use it also. We use it for our 2 year old and she loves it.

Smaller children work best. I bought it for my 5 year old twins. They loved it. Probably ok for 3+. Smaller kids that don't mind getting tumbled around a bit. It was too hard to roll it with my 9 year old in it.

I would say this toy is for the 2-5 age group. My 2 year old niece loves it and my 4 year old daughter enjoys it but seems to be outgrowing it.

No my son still loves it and is 3. He goes down the hill fast and my older daughter and her friends also use it.

My son just turned 2 and he loves it! He's been using it for about 6 months or so and has done really well with it. He only recently started using the slide without our help

My grand kids are ages 2 and 4. Both of them play with it and seem to play with it fine. Sometimes they don't push the suction button and seem to like it the same. Be careful they don't step on it which caused it to break. I super glued the 'roller' back on it has been playable ever since.

My son is fifteen months (he was seven months when we got it for him) and he has little interest in it. There's a similar product at Target that he absolutely loves that it seems like everyone has. I would get that one (it's cheaper anyway). I can't imagine a three year old being interested in this.
