What's the youngest age this would be appropriate for? Need a space saver, afraid of preschooler falling out

my granddaughter is 4 years old....I don't worry about her falling out....I let her play with her dolls on it and she practices going up and down during the day......she has not fallen out of it though!

We have had our daughter in it since her 4th birthday without incident. Putting it in a corner is best. The storage section also acts as a guard for them not to tumble out. It really depends on your child but the unit is veryvsturdy and safe. We have never worried about her falling out

I bought this for a 3 1/2 year old and it is perfect. She hasn't had any issues. I was a little concerned that she may have a challenge getting down from the ladder during the middle of the night to go potty, but she's been just fine. She's now 4 years old and still no problems. We love it and it really is an awesome space saver! I highly recommend!

I would not recommend this bed for kids under 5. Even it is gorgeous. My 10 years daughter and I love it. :)

This bed was purchased for my 5 year old & she never had any fear & I felt it was safe. The step up into the bed from the ladder may be more challenging for a younger child unless tall for their age. The construction of the bed would almost require a leap to get out...no real roll out concerns. It should last threw maybe 12 years old, depending on the kid.

i bought 2 one for my 3 year old and one for my 7 year old both fit great. the rails are a few inches high so i dont think there is any real risk of falling.

I'd think of it less as an age issue as a weight issue. Every use should probably consider the size of the child and the table to which you are attaching it. Our child is 13 mos and 16 lbs and it works fine for almost every occasion. Not a direct answer, but I hope it helps.

My personal feeling for safety is 2 under age 5-6 unless they are bigger. I'm sure as many as three could fit but i tend to err on the side go safety.

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!

Our not yet three-and-a-half-year-old is pretty much the right size for this kitchen. I'm sure she will enjoy it for a few more years, but, as nice as it is, I would not advise buying it for a child who is already six...

Half way may be iffy, 3/4 would be better. My 3 year old (who is tall) stood in it fine, and was great if by herself. But with others in there she was easily bumped over so had to be careful.

I have a small three and five year old. Its perfect for the three year old, and the five year old is a little tall, but makes it work. :)

I have a three year old. We got it when he was 2.5. A younger child could probably use some pieces of it. The zipper and velcro are easiest and I suspect even many 1 year olds could use them. There are still a few things my son cannot do (like tying shoes), but that's why we got it, to grow with him. I'd guess 1.5-4 would be a great age for this toy.

We bought this initially when our son was about 18 months, but now he is three and is still using it, and our one-year-old can climb into it as well. I would guess that we will be able to use it till about age four or five.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQI bought this for my 1 year old grandaughter, she is petite and had more than enough room for another 1year old. We put a pillow in front when she first received it. Now at 1/ 1/2 years old you could still get two in, but depending on their body length it might be less room than you want. I am including a link that has an adult sitting in it, so you can get an idea. It has worked well for us, but if you have two larger children, you might look at something a step up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQ

Yes, if they are small. I would say most kids 4 and under could sit side by side fairly comfortably. It would likely be tight, but doable for older preschoolers.

I think my daughter started using it at 13 months because the high chair was taking up too much space. As long as they are sitting up on their own and don't have a problem trying to escape from their chair you should be fine. Mine said 2+ on the package I believe

Since you already have the dimensions, just thought I would mention that I find it the perfect size for a 2-4 year old, and still usable as children grow. My 9 year old also plays with it easily. If you look at my video in my review, you can see how tall is is compared to an almost 2 year old.

That all depends on your child. My son is 19 months and plays with this toy for a few minutes (5-10) at a time throughout the day. When he loses interest, I put it in the closet for a week or so and then bring it back out. It does take up a lot of floor space.

If the child is an average size 4 year old, yes its suitable. However my son who is soon to be 4 hates being in it. So i use it mainly for my 3 year old. If you are looking for one child, there are a lot cheaper options. Good luck

We bought this for my 3 year old at the time. He is now 5. I would say its perfect for 2 little ones ages 2 or 3, but as for two kids over 5, I would say it would be a bit crowded as my son barely has enough room to sit in middle and play with his toys around him. They would fit, but it wouldn't be very roomy.

This one would be a little small. I have a day care and bought this for the toddlers. I bought the bigger one for the 4 & 5 year olds.
