What age group is this rocket for
1267811
Virginia - the official Estes web site state the following "Estes model rocketry is recommended for ages 10 and up with adult supervision for those under 12. Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly". I feel this is correct as an adult will need to help anyone under 10 complete the assembly in an airworthy manner. Once the rocket is assembled, an adult will also be needed to help anyone under 12 with the launching process to ensure safety. I helped my son who is 8 complete the assembly, and he knows how to complete the launch process at club events in a safe manner.

As far as age group, I'd say old enough to where your kid can stop on a dime if told. I love rockets but they can be dangerous if not given the appropriate respect. With adult supervision I would not go under 6 (I insert engines, igniter, and place launch clips). These rockets are impressive to young kids. To do them alone, I would not go less than 11. An 11 year old could easily build it too. Be smart and safe. Have fun!!

I would say 2 and 3 year olds although small 4 year olds may be able to use it also. We use it for our 2 year old and she loves it.

From what I have seen on the Amazon description, it lists 18 months to age 5, it I purchased this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and it was just right for her, but she is tiny. She is 4 now and actually still plays with this but is a bit taller and does bend her knees and feet back(parallel to the floor) and scoots around quite fast with no problems! Just depends on the kid I guess, hope this helps :)

My kids were 9 and 10 when we bought it. They still play on it now and they are 10 and 11. My husband and I are in our 30's and we play on it.

I think it is perfect for 3 or 4 year old. My son is 5 now. He want a fast one which the wheel made of rubber instead of plastic. So when he turn 5 . This one may not good for him.

I bought it for my 2 year old granddaughter. She has played with it every day and soon she will be three. So I think this is geared for the 2-4 year old crowd.

I would say ages 1 to 4. I bought for our 1 year old granddaughter & she lives it! We also bought another one (baseball design) for our 2 yr old grandson & he loves his as well.

I bought it for my sons 1st birthday. He pushes the buttons and plays with the digger. He hasn't ridden on it yet without help. I would say the "recommended" age would be at least 2, maybe 3. Hope this helps!

We bought it for my sons 3rd birthday. It's perfect for him...he is old enough to comprehend the driving, shifting and steering. Our neighbors all drive it and they range from 3yrs old to 8yrs old. Some are bigger than others but still play nicely with it with stuff legs. I would say the best age is 3-5 or 6yrs old depending on size of the child.

I am not sure about the suggested age, my grandson is two and he has a ball with it.

Our grandchildren all play with it, and they are ages 2-8. The 8 year old girl only plays with it when playing with little cousins. I think 3-5 is ideal.

My 3 year old and 5 year old played with it for a half hour and haven't touched it since. It would be age appropriate if they like it as mine is gathering dust.

My granddaughter is 3 and absolutely loves it. I would say no older than 5--it's small.

My 2 1/2 year old son still loves playing with this, but he especially liked it around 12-18 months old. His 9-month old little brother also likes climbing on it and spinning the wheels.

I would say 4 - 12 month olds. My son started at 4 months and loves it still at 8 months. Due to height restrictions it probably wouldn't fit any older than a 1 year old.

My grandson just turned three, and he loved it! But the older kids at his birthday party were having fun with it, too. Heck, I was having fun playing with it. I really think three to eight would be the optimal ages for this.

The whole rocket is light plastic and foam, with just a bit more weight in the top (nose). If you have a moderate wind, the rocket will be pushed downwind as these are not model rockets and meant to be used by children around 8-10.
