Why is this listed as a toy for children age birth to 24 months? Is because that would be the life expectancy of a child that is given this?

My personal opinion is that a lot of these items are sold from other countries and they don't have any regulations as far as warnings for young children. It's all about the money and getting your business. I think that Amazon should use their discretion and put their own warnings on these items in case there is a lawsuit, since these (Asian mostly) countries don't care what happens to our American children.

I didn't see it listed as such. But if it is, it should definitely be corrected immediately! Definitely not a toy by any means.

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.

I am not sure, it depends on the size of the child. The box states it can hold up to 24 months.

I would say its fine, as there's nothing on it that could come off and pose a choking hazard and its super soft and lightweight. As for whether a 7 month old will be interested in playing with it, that totally depends on the child. My daughter got hers when she was a year old, but I don't think she'd have been interested in it for long at 7 months, but according to some other reviewers others love it at that age. Honestly, my daughter loved hers at first, then quickly lost interest (I'd say within the month). However, she's now 2 and a half, and has recently rediscovered it and is in love with it.

Absolutely not! I bought it for my twins at 2yr2m and they are almost 4 now and still play with it. Definitely a good buy at that age.

This is the package warning: Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts which may cause a choking hazard if swallowed. Let me know if there is spnething else I can help you.Thank you

I would give this to a child between the ages of 3 and 5. Old enough to take care of it, young enough for it to hold their interest for at least a couple of years. A 10 year old would probably not be happy getting this and call it a little kid's toy.

No obvious reasons. If the bracket of beads breaks it poses a choking hazard, for example which is likely the reason for the 3+ age recommendation. I have it in my waiting room and kids of all ages flock to it.

This toy is said to be for ages 6 months to 36 months. While I think a very advanced 6 month old could figure out how to put the coins in the slot...I think it is more appropriate for an older baby. I gave it to my granddaughter, for her 1st birthday; it took her 3 months to get the coins to go in the slot. However...she really enjoys this toy. I think it is one that can entertain in the younger years (a toy that mommy & 6-12 month old play with together), as well as 'grow with the child' to play with on his/her own through 3 years.

I think these are delicate toys made to be played with delicate hands. Maybe they should suggest this for kids a little older! No problems here.

The manufacturer says it is for ages 3-9. We bought it for our granddaughter that was just turning 3. In my opinion the toy wouldn't hold up if the child plays rough with it. The parts doesn't come totally apart. A small rope is run through the middle of the body to hold it together.

I purchased this toy for my three year old grandson who loves it. As with any toy it depends on the child and their mature on if it would be suitable for them. I can't remember what the age was recommend on the original box. I'm of old school and believe children should always be supervised when playing with toys of any sort thus you can't always go by the age recommend on them. I hope this helps.

No. It's supposed to be for ages 4 and up. I bought one for a 3 yr old with older siblings and that seemed to be okay. I would not give it to a 1 yr old.

I have no idea- I bought this toy for my 12 month-old and she loves it!! At 15 months she is still interested in it but I think she may get bored with it by the time she's 2. Maybe the warning is because of the little hammer?

I don't believe that there is anything about this toy that could be construed by anyone, except maybe a lawyer, to be a choking hazard. That being said, my boy likes the toy and even at his age (now 6) cannot put it into his mouth, much less try to swallow it. There are no little parts and he cannot remove the battery. I doubt that a two-year old could do that also. It is a nice toy for little ones, and I fully believe it to be a safe toy.

This is more for infants. Sorry! It is very nice though and my great-grandson loves it! He's only 4 mos old!

It says "Manufacturer recommended age: 24 months - 6 years". That's probably about right. My daughter is 3.
