Do 11 and 9 year olds use the adult base and bristles? mrb

I would think that children of that age would do fine with an adult base and brush.

I purchased one for my 9 year old grandson and he loves it. It seems to be easy to use and with a little adult help it shouldn't be an issue.

I would say that the entire broom's size is smaller so getting a regular sized broom would still present the issue of too much bulk for a kid. We have a few regular brooms as well and they are all much bigger, let alone taller, than this one. Also, I have not found the small dust pan and brush anywhere else in this size.

Hi - The bristles are made of metal and are very sharp. I would look for a comb instead or a nylon brush. I just feel like this one is too sharp and may hurt their skin if they don't have thick hair.

These are soft head ADULT size toothbrushes. However, they are smallist head. I am only a regular consumer but I believe gently used by a 5 year old, if the head is not too big for him/her, would be just fine. Yes.

No problem, I also am an "elderly" lady. You just have to screw the brush onto the pole - and it works great. I got it for the garage and outside areas. The bristles are stiff - I wouldn't want to use the broom in the house (unless it's used in the basement).

I bought 2 of these for my sons, aged 9 and 13. I had to send one back because my 13 year old hated it. He said it "sucked". My 9 year old, however, really likes it. So for an adult, I'd say buy something else.Hope that helps.

It's designed for smaller hands but replacement brushes are interchangeable so adults can use it as well.

They come with two brush heads, the smaller would work, however I would check with a dentist about age appropriate use.

Yes, I would think so. My five year old is very intrigued by it every time I am using mine, but I don't think she is quite ready for one now. I will definitely get her one in a couple of years. The bristles are not to hard so no worries about the gum line. You know your child best, so you can better assess as to whether or not they are fit for a motorized toothbrush.

I used it for my 2YO. It was a fun motivation for brushing, but they were a little freaked out by the noise at first. I think it's intended for a little bit older kids...your call.

Absolutely. In fact, I'm about to place an order for my child, who is 14 months old. He sees his older sister using one every morning and is completely fascinated by it. I should say, though, that I would be the one doing the brushing for him. The toothbrush itself is pretty heavy (well, at least heavier than your standard).

While this brush head is small, I think I'd wait until the child has more permanent teeth. They need a smaller brush for brushing baby teeth. They also need to develop brushing skills when they are young. I'd wait until a child is about 9ish or once they have molars.

Absolutely! My two year old daughter looooves them! The head of the brush is a great size for smaller kids and the bristles are nice and soft and get the job done. Great price for 5 toothbrushes...great for changing them often especially if your little ones get sick.

My kids do use it. Its not a problem. But my kids are older 13 and 9. Have been using it since 2 yrs. Now

I don't see why not. These brushes seem to extremely user-friendly for all ages. And this small size head will be very comfortable for a child.Actually this small size is very comfortable even for a grown-up because it allows to do a more "detailed" cleaning of teeth.

No, not really... I have used it with kids, but I am not sure it is adult-ish
