Can a child (12 yrs old) use this?

I would be concerned about the remote possibility of choking. It should fit snugly so it doesn't slip out. I did not mold mine correctly the first time and it never did fit tightly. As an over cautious parent, I would not purchase this for a 12 year old.

I purchased it for my toddler. It broke when he dropped it with me supervising. I highly doubt a 12-15 year old would want this as a gift.I also teach children with emotional disabilities and have foster children.

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.

My son is 12 and plays with this. I don't see him giving it up anytime soon. My 5 year old plays with them too.

Yes, my son is 10 and he uses it often. He was actually 9 when we bought it for him.

It honestly depends on the 12 year old. I bet some adults could learn a lot from this kit!

Yes-i bought it for grandson he is 12 years old. It is made very heavy,which is a good thing' I think it will hold up under use.

It is remote control and would be fine for a 12 year old but there is a learning curve if they have never flown one before. If they are patient it's a great gift. Otherwise try an indoor only starter one (which is also loads of fun).

It is a very heavy crossbow and can be difficult to string and cock. If you are confident that your 12-year old can constantly hold a 15lb crossbow and load a 90lb draw (with the rope cocker), then it might be nice for him. Be safe.

This is indeed remote controlled. Whether or not it is appropriate for a 12 year old depends entirely on the 12 year old. If they have any experience with a remote controlled helicopter before, then this would be a fine gift for them. If they have no such experience but enjoy the challenge of mastering a new skill and have a great deal of patience then this may also be a good gift. If they have no RC experience and don't handle crashes well, I would suggest a coaxial 3-channel helicopter instead. They are much easier to fly, though this will be more rewarding if and when it is mastered.

I have no idea. My granddaughter refused to used. But, I think you should be able to.

depends on their balancing abilities, but general no. It's not too young. My two year old uses it all the time, so does my four year old.

I guess it would depend on how tall he or she is. It does expand a bit, but even at the longest length it isn't too large for my 6-year-old (50 inches tall) to use... so I'm guessing that it would seem small for a 12 year old...

Be sure to take the child's age and maturity into account before purchasing. My Granddaughter is 12 and loves it

This machine is very slow compared to your average full sized machine.as far as age goes, parental judgment I think. If the child knows it can hurt them if they put their finger under the needle then I think they are old enough. However, I wouldn't let a toddler use it. I would let a school agEd child use it under supervision.

Yes, with guidance from an adult. I have used it with my four year old granddaughter. She likes to use it to make doll clothes.
