This game works very well on carpet. Our daughter is 7 and learned to dance the easy dances in about an hour.

it will definitely work if it's just to have the kids dance and have fun. They don't even realize they are working out :) ..not sure how you can score multiple kids though since we only have 2 controllers.

I bought this for my 6 yr old granddaughter. She loves it. It works great with their weight. They just have to move their feet to get it going. It has a hand brake if it seems scary at first. It works well on any flat surface. Rugs of course make it hard. I'm almost tempted to one one for myself. Lol

I have 8 year old twin granddaughters and they love it more than their 5 year old sister. They can balance and they love to spin around in circles. They lift their feet up and away they go. Hope your children enjoy it too.

I purchased this for my daughter right around 1 yr old and she has not been that into it. I do think it is a bit advanced. My 6 yr old likes to play with it. I think your daughter would enjoy it now and for a bit to come. It is rather small, which I prefer. It doesn't take up a lot of room, yet it has a lot of activities.

Yes, My 3 yr old daughter loves it! If they love music and love to dance they will enjoy this. It also has music for their age which is a plus.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for. it seems to be bouncy enough for our son. I will make it really rock and he does not quite like that yet. I know it is not as bouncy as some of the older ones he has played on but they are 15-20 years old and so the springs are going to have more bounce. I would buy it again if I had to.

We don't have much carpet, mostly hardwood floors. She had some trouble skating on play mat so I think carpet is a no go! She's great though!

Hi, Jilly! My 5 year old has access to a full size trampoline but also enjoys the Little Tikes-along with our 2 year old...it's been great for indoor exercise! The benefit is that they each get the trampoline all to themselves when they're jumping-as opposed to a group of kiddos sharing a big one!

I agree with C. Kim. I don't know that my 5 yo is getting much in the form of education from this game as she knows her letters, shapes and numbers pretty well (but I'm sure the repitition doesn't hurt and she doesn't seem to mind it) She does however, just fit on the bike at the highest seat height. That said, both my 3 yo and 5 yo love this thing. They don't even care if the bike is hooked up to the TV, they will sit and watch one of their TV shows and just pedal away. I can see that my 3yo's coordination has improved as she's gotten better at steering and pedaling, and the joystick games are helping with eye hand coordination. Sure it's got some downfalls, nothing's perfect, but overall it's a good toy that gives the kids a chance to exercise indoors during the winter months, improve their coordination and educational skills, and have a great time doing it. I do suggest you have your child sit on one at a toy store to see if it will fit his/her size before buying it.

I would not suggest buying it at this age. I bought this at 4 months, daugter is now 7 months and feel I only got a months worth of use. By the time she was 5 months she was rolling over on her stomach and not so much wanting to be on her back, I did end up buying the Bright Starts Around We Go Activity Station, Doodle Bugs which she loves. She can sit in the little seat and use her legs to walk around the activity table which my daughter just loves.

Is it safe for the floors? Should be fine, but will slide around. Is it safe for your child on wood floors? As long as they dont jump off or do anything crazy on it, it should be fine. My son is almost 2 and he does fine with it on our tile floors. Great product and would buy again.

My nephew is now 15 months old has mastered this and now bored with it unless I sit down with him and engage him with it. If your grandson hasn't already mastered this type of motor skill task or you are reinforcing what he has already learned, then I believe it would be appropriate for him. If he loves to bang on things there is a drum set that is awesome and can be used in the tub. My nephew loves it!! ALEX Toys Rub a Dub Tub Tunes Water Drums

The wheels are fairly low so I would think that it would required some effort. My baby loves on tile and wood floor because he can run and turn very easy. If your carpet is firm and smooth maybe if not I would not recoomend it. Hope it helps

Absolutely! In fact, carpet gives you more leverage for the step. Good luck and happy Zumba!

I have a fairly high and loose pile carpet and it worked fine. It obviously depends on their strength to move it around, but I find they didn't really move themselves around it on their own anyway until they were strong enough to cruise on their own, in which case, I didn't need it. But that was just my girls. They are 15 months next week and still love the table though, especially the piano section.

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!)
