Can anyone tell me if this would pick up legos on carpet/wood floors and if so, would an 8 year old be able to use it safely?

The tool is safe for kids. My grandson uses inside and out... and yes he has picked up legos off hardwood floors and area rugs.

My guess would be yes - they are small enough and lightweight. I don't have legos or I would give it a try. Similar to using a broom there is nothing sharp or potentially dangerous. It's a handy tool. And kinda fun to use. I think that picking up legos with it would be fun for your 8 year old (at least at first :)

I think it would be fine for kids with consideration to age/height. I wouldn't recommend letting young children use it without supervision, because kids could be big enough to knock it over and it could weigh over a couple hundred pounds when filled. The base is a little tall, so kicking might not be very easy for smaller children.

A 1.5 year old probably cannot get it moving like my 5 and 7 years olds can now (and it is not even that much) so I think it is a safe bet especially if it is on carpet or a rug to prevent sliding around.

We have wood floors, but my little is stopped by the wheels every time he gets to an area rug or carpeted rooms. Maybe you could find something with more versatile wheels?

it's ok. The bucket doesn't really have teeth, so it can pick up blocks (legos in our case) if there is a pile, if there is only a few on the floot/carpet it has a hard time.

It works ok on hardwood floors, I definitely would not use it on carpet. We bought one; I have not been all that impressed with it on either surface.

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

Nope! My 8 yr old daughter has definitely tested the limits. She drags it along to dance class everyday & yes it has been dropped on cement & hardwood floors. It's dirty as heck though, but that's what you get when an 8 yr old decides to play on the iPad with Peanut Butter & Jelly or Chocolate hands. Lol!

I have no problems with it and my 10 year old seems able to push it just fine. There are lighter weight vacuums, but the reviews I read on them were not very favorable.

We use it on hard floors but also have rugs. It rocks great. It is lightweight, that's my only complaint with it.

Yes, it does work on carpet, but not as well. And it has worked for us as described, but I wouldn't buy it for my child again. He lost interest after 10 minutes and hasn't played with I since.

On hardwood floors its fine. On carpets no. If you have trouble you can take the safety bottom pieces. There are about 6 of them and they are not hard to remove ,you just need a screwdriver. But i wouldnt do this unless its really hard to navigate such as in carpets.

I do not have carpet in my house so cant really tell you but my other kids left a blanket on the floor and my son seem ok riding through it the wheels on it are like a computer chair so I would think it would be ok

I bought this for my 6 yr old granddaughter. She loves it. It works great with their weight. They just have to move their feet to get it going. It has a hand brake if it seems scary at first. It works well on any flat surface. Rugs of course make it hard. I'm almost tempted to one one for myself. Lol

Hi It works great for me in my daughters room and slides under her bed. It pulls out easily on a wooden floor. I have to remove the rug in front of the bed as the wheels get a little tangled as it is very low profile. You might need to "block" the wheels as the frame will slide if on a wood floor and a kid runs and jumps. Lots of fun!

I don't think the weight would be an issue for anyone old enough to understand how to use it. Carrying it up and down stairs might be an issue because of length. But actually vacuuming would not be a problem for a child at all.

Yes, very well. We have carpet and hardwood. And my daughter even takes it outside in the grass in good weather. It's one of her favorite toys!
