Has anyone tried this with a one and two year old? Is the one year old really too young?

I purchased this for my twin girls' 2nd birthday. They loved it. I would think your 1-year-old would be ok in the middle section...or on the end if the other child was very gentle in rocking.

I bought this last year for my 1.5 and 3 yr old and it was great. 18 mo old could hold on just fine. Even if s/he couldn't, you can steady her on one side.

I Bought this for a family with three kids, the oldest of whom was five. I guess it would depend on how steady the one-year-old is. The toy is pretty tough, so it will last for some time. Plus it comes in this really awesome box, or so I've heard.

My son is 14 months old. Its a good size for his age to about 3 1/2. But the plastic handle area where they hold on is so rough. Should really have a different handle set up

I think most 2 year olds would be too short to use this and it may be hard for them to maneuver it. My just turned 4 year old has only had the hang of it for maybe 6 mo.

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!

We got it for our 2 year old, she loves it and still uses it. It goes slower, so I imagine that you could use it for younger - they just may have a hard time holding down the button to make it go.

Children are attracted to anything new. The serving spoons are a little to much for a baby, everything goes to their mouth. But we have to remember children's play has to be supervised at all times. Clean up is up to us until they get in the habit. We are the ones that choose the toys that they play with. A family member gave my grand kids a food set with chef's hats so I bought the little tikes. They love it. They are 2 1/2 and 4 1/2. A one year old might not play with it now, but give him or her time and they will enjoy it. Just watch out for the serving spoons

Hi Joanne,I also have a 2 year old and used it on her. I just made sure that I didn't put it on her hands that she puts in her mouth. I also used it on my 3 month old's legs. :)

My toddler is two years old he can't open it he's not strong enough. My other son was 4 1/2 years old when we bought it and he was able to open it.

I would be comfortable with my one year old riding in it. It wouldn't be an overly cushy ride but I think if he meets the weight and height requirements and you make sure to install (and fasten him in) properly, it would work. I probably would feel more comfortable with an 18 month old in it, but I think it would work for a 1 year old and be safe.

If it's not seen often, it would probably work for the 2 year old as well. My 3 year old still loves to crawl inside of it and hang from the upper supports. The one year old would love all the parts of it. There would just be different things that each likes :).

Yes I think It would be great for a 1 year old. I have a 9 month old, a 14 month old and 2 4 year old grandchildren. And they all want to play with it.

Our daughter was only 18 months old when we gave it to her. I haven't found anything that would harm a one year old. We've had it for two months now, and no problems with her being too small or anything being dangerous.

Yes, I think a one year old would enjoy this! It is easier than building a fort and my grandson loves crawling through it and just laying in it.

I have only use it for one child. I don't think it would be comfortable for two.

The pieces are a good size. I think it would be fine for a one year old. If they are very mouthy, hold onto the broccoli (the smallest pieces, but not terribly small) until he/she is less likely to mouth it. Age is probably 2 and up, but 1 should work.

It really depends on things like how tall or active your one year old is. As a general rule, a toddler of any age will need help with it. I find that even our five and seven year old prefer to be pushed than to get it moving themselves.

I would say probably not. My almost two year old is not as interested as she was at just over one.
