Does the manual recommend age? I found another one for 1-3 years cheaper on Amazon. I would rather get one with higher age range. My son is 3 already

This one is 3 and up. I think there are 2 sizes. The cheaper one is smaller.

My grandson is 32 mos and loves it. He should have several more years of use.

We bought this for our grandson. Although they wanted it he was too young for it. I would think 3 is the minimum age for this.

We've only used this one however last winter my son used it at 5 and it was fine. It's better to get one a little bigger that your son can grow into.

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!

I would recommend to go for regular one for age 8. I bought both for my boys now turn 7 last year. Regular presents more challenge for them particularly in the higher level. So they are on the right level on Advance of Jr. and lower level of regular version.

As an adult collector or a young fellow from 4 and up it would be great. I may be ok for a 3 yr old if he doesnt chew off the head or hands. He should be alright but be aware that the head is on a ball joint. Main concern is that he would break or damage the toys. My son, before he was 4 and 5 years old, went through many figures before he stopped snapping legs and arms. I suggest buying them up before they are gone and keeping them tucked away untilyou young one is 4 or 5. Then they will be enjoyed much more. Hope this helps.

We're parents, and we thought he was entertaining. My 3 year old loves him and can steer him very easily. I'd think that a 5-6 year old might want something a little more advanced, but for 2-4, this is great (and it's sturdy!)

Manufactures recommended age is 18 months to 5 years but I think it is more like 18 monthhs to 3 years. My son is a short 2 1/2 year old and he is outgrowing it. Lots of fun though while it lasted.

This model takes a lot of patience and time. I don't think the age is too young. All kids are different. The instructions get a little "fuzzy" at times, but a little common sense prevails. Good luck and ENJOY.

I don't know what age it is recommended for, but our daughter is 4. She is old enough for it and I am not sure I would go below that age.

This one would be great for him, my son was 3 when I bought it and strong/athletic. However, my neighbor has one where the front wheel actually turns & it's way easier for the kids to maneuver. I kinda wish I had that one, but my son still loves his, too

I bought this for my son when he was 1 an now he is 3, he still enjoys it but now he pulls the toy to his dirt pile, doesn't really pedal with it anymore. If I was hunting for a CAT digger, I might try something else. The older kids (ages 4-9) in our neighborhood really like just the backhoe with the seat on the back....I hope that helps

Probably. I gave my son his when he was 4 and it wasnt easy for him to figure it out at first. Plus I really recommend getting the 3 instead. Its wayy better than the 2. Alot easier to use.

My 4 year old got one last year and loved it, but she was pretty hard on it and it didn't last long. I'm sure her 2 year old brother didn't help the matter, but he wasn't present when our old Furby bit the dust... FYI, pulling off an ear breaks the Furby, lol. So if your 4 year old is pretty gentle on toys, I think you're good. If they are hard on toys, I'd consider how much you want to spend ($50?) on a toy that might not make it very long in the hands of a preschooler. That being said, I just bought another one for her this year on Black Friday (so I only spent $30) and have hopes that it might live longer than the last?

I actually bought this toy, for my 3 year old. He loves it! But he also is playing with his 6 year old brother. I think it just depends upon your child and what his interests and likes are. But I would buy it again for my 3 year old.

I actually used it (supervised at first, of course) when my son was 10 months old. He started to understand how it worked overtime. He is 14 months now and does great on his own. I think the warning should be thought of as a suggestion in this case. Just make sure to look for small parts, but in this box the smallest part was about the size of a bouncy ball , so it wasn't too bad.

I would be careful with a 2 year old. How much longer before he turns 3? My children were 6 and 4 so my youngest is slightly older but not much. My youngest likes to jump off of EVERYTHING so he loves it!

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years
