Wonder why they are not recommended for anyone under 13 years old?

Not sure, perhaps it's a CPSC recommendation. Younger kids could use them just fine I think, but be aware that they are rigid and are not bendable or soft like a plastic straw,

we have an adult house. we cannot think why there is a suggested age unless the straws could hurt the teeth of younger children?

It has to be on the advice of a lawyer. Surely a toddler could hurt himself. Just as surely, the average eight-year-old-on-up wouldn't.

It would be like giving a ballpoint pen to a toddler. Dangerous unless constantly monitored.

I am wondering if they are made in China? Just like how earrings made in China are made with carcinogenic materials and are not to be worn by children!

They are stainless steel and could poke the inside of a child's mouth if the child is moving around while drinking or just being careless, which is highly likely with children. I ordered them not thinking and my husband called me crazy and we keep them only for ourselves. I like them because of how easy to clean they are and how cool they feel when I am drinking a cold drink. Very refreshing and cooling~but not good for the kiddos!

i have no idea why it would say that. they seem too hard to bend or break. i think they would be fine

Where did you get the info that it's recommended for children anywhere? And unless these children live in the boonies with no internet, tv, radio they know about drugs. Nobody says you need to buy this for a child. There are millions of other items to buy a kid. Just you asking this question is questionable!

Actually, this would be ideal for a 13 year old. I consider it less dangerous than a hair straightening iron. The metal plates are hot but as with all appliances, people should use common sense when using: i.e. don't dunk in water, etc.

Probably not suitable for children under 5-6, as they might swallow the product. Besides, I can't imagine why and in what situation children should need to use earplugs to block noise!

Might be a little too young for 13 year old. Probably outgrow this set somewhere around age 8 or 9 in my opinion.

I don't think they would fit a teenager. It barely was usable on my 9 year old.

Not sure I got them for my 16 year old, so we don't know much about this stuff! Sorry :)

From my experience my with my child they were too big, he was 13 when i got em, they looked horrible on him..if your child has a small head they wont look right, also its hard to get a prescription lens for this particular brand...

I enjoy doing it with my daughter! I think at 13 it might be enjoyable when watching tv or listening to music but she likely won't want her friends to know about it and she won't learn anything about fashion design. So fun but not cool at age 13.

I personally think these are good for pre-teens and up, perhaps even 11-12 if the girl blossomed quickly. I'd move to "women" depending on the girls stature and development around 17 and up. This is from my own experience and opinion. Good luck!

They would be too small for her feet then. My daughter is a 12-13 and they are way too small for her. Only her 2 yr old sister can wear and enjoy them.

No they are too small for my 7 year old. I recommend the skull candy ones. They are much better and on sale at bestbuy for $10

I'm not sure what age group is allowed to use them, I personally think they are pretty safe. Hitting yourself is normal tough. I don't think it can be dangerous in any way because they are relatively soft, but if you spin them fast you will feel them more. I guess it's like playing volleyball or any other similar sport. If the ball hits you, you will feel it. I would recommend adult supervision at the beginning. You can regulate the length. Make them shorter at first. It's easier to control them. One thing is sure: you are going to make your granddaughter happy. Kids go crazy for them! It's super fun and a great exercise. It improves coordination skills.

Well is not quite recomended for children, they need adult supervision. The designs are amazing!!! But adult supervision is necessary.

My daughter chewed them fine but she is also 7 when I started her on them. That's such a big age difference I wouldn't know if 18 months is old enough. Maybe call them and ask for a free sample. Hugs and luck...

I am not sure, i think that they were for adults, I purchased a small adult for my very thin daughter who is 14.

These particular pinnies are not for Adults. They fit my U-10 soccer boys team but would not work for much older.
