Would this work for a nine-year old or is it best for younger children?

My 3 kids, now grown with kids of their own, had this exact roller racer. There was a range of five years from youngest to oldest, when they were all riding them. I believe it would work, unless the child is really big or heavy for his/her age.

This would work great for a nine-year old. It will even accommodate adults! Even though I bought one for my 3-year old grandson, my daughter can ride it. They are very heavy duty. I think your nine-year old will love it.

When our 29 year old daughter & 25 year old son were growing up, they spent many summer nights riding these at a small amusement park. We just got these for our grand kids, and the big kids (29 & 25) had as much fun as the little ones.

Any age would enjoy this. Hershey Park has the racers a one of their amusement rides. Just get the one with the higher weight limit. My grand daughter hops on it as soon as she gets home. Put a basket on front to cart her books, snack, etc. Can't go wrong with this purchase! Enjoy!

My two kids starting ridging it when they were three up till now, and they are 24. We bought two more for our grandkids and my 24 year old son can ride it. They alllove them.

I think a 9 year old could do it. I bought it for a 6 year old - he and his Mom did it -- but he did much of it himself.Frank

I think it all depends on the child. (Are they hands on or Do they like video games instead?) Our child was entertained for a few days. The only reason I bought Magformer was to teach our child shapes and the Magnetic field. Once you complete the booklet that was included in the box on what to create, it gets, in my opinion, dull real quick. That could or could not be the same for your 9 year old. Good luck!

I think that would depend on the experience of the 9 year old. The boys we bought it for are skate and snow boarders and they have built skills through playing with the spooner board. Both boys (now aged 4 and 6) showed significant improvements over the previous winter the first time they went snow boarding last year. If your 9 year old is new to board sports he or she would probably have fun with it and build skills.

I don't think this would be good for a 9 year old. Too low and it's hard to seat upfront of it...

Possibly. My daughter is 5 and its perfect for her. I believe it may be a little small for a 9 year old.

I would say that a 9 year old could play it with some minor assistance. 12 to play autonomously. I must admit that my mom can't play without help, and she is 60. :)

We got it for our 2 year old, she loves it and still uses it. It goes slower, so I imagine that you could use it for younger - they just may have a hard time holding down the button to make it go.

Not really. Our grandson recently turned 12. He's tallish and on thin side in body makeup. I'd think a 9 yr old could use it just fine.

A six year old might need a bit of help getting started and at the end but it really depends on the kid. I gave this to my 9 yr. old.

Maybe but older would probably be better. I purchased for my five year old grandson and he could work it but his eight year old brother really liked it!

It says 3-9, but I would say 9 year olds might not enjoy it as much as a 'real' tablet.

My youngest is 11 and she struggled a little bit but she did know quite a few. I'm not sure it would work for younger children.

If possible, I would buy more than 30 pieces. Get the largest set you can, because the joy will be more long-lasting. If he is playing them with a friend, that would only be 15 pieces each, and it is hard to build something with just 15 pieces. However, if you can only afford 30 pieces, he would enjoy it tremendously. I can pretty well guarantee that if you buy the 30 set, you will be back to buy a larger set to add to it. This is the most fun toy ever created, seriously. The pieces click together with magnets, and lend themselves to a wide variety of shapes. You will probably end up playing with them as much or more than your 9 year old. God bless. Marian Liveley

My 9 month old is small compared to others his age, but I am still using it....will probably be able to use it until he's one. A larger child may be able to go only until 10 months.

I believe it is meant for younger children. My 7 and 9 year olds enjoyed it.

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson. He loves it and it works great. This should be reassuring for you and your daughter.
