Is useful to children?

no.too sensitive to motion and better suited to a fixed stand like a microscope.

I am a doctor, and it is of minimal use to me. It would be of very little use to a non-doctor who wants to look at children's ears.

It is for kids ages 8 and up. But I think younger kids could use it as well.

I would think they could use it. I don't think it would be too big, or heavy. I guess it depends on the kids size ultimately

I haven't used mine in several months since my daughter turned 1. It was most useful from about 6 months to 1 year.

Absolutely! My husband and I use it as well as our 6 and 7 year old boys. We all love it!

Yes. As soon as a child is taught how to use eating utensiles (?about 2 years old). Even earlier with someone feeding the child - it is for motivation, and the person can use a simple story or sentences and sound effects, particularly to encourage eating foods they may not want, such as green vegetables.

It helps keeps the child secure on the seat instead of sliding through. I think it is very useful!!

We use it for occasional visits by our grandson who is now 14 months, but it would be too small for daily use by him. Good for new borns, but due to its size, we believe it is limited.

My opinion? No. It is not worth it, unless you have a 1 yr old who likes to destroy things. It literally has the entertainment value of a calculator.

My soon to be six year old still plays with it occasionally but mostly relies on his his homework for writing help. My soon to be two year old likes to use it however. It has been fun and helpful to get the fundamentals of writing and letter recognition established through the early years. Great for travel!

Yes it would be appropriate for children. It is like walking thru a park and you even have a track to walk around.

Hi Crystal, I can't see why it would not be good for kids. But, I think supervision would be wise.

Yep. As long as they aren't the type of 5 year old who puts small things in their mouth. Some adult help with instructions may be helpful

If they are old enough not to put them in their mouth,yes they are okay for children to use. If they aren't, the tip could come off if they put it in their mouth & they could choke

In general it is good. However it depends on the child age. For very young kids you may need a large lens

I think so. My daughter is only level 3 competitive and only 7 yrs old but I think it will be useful a few more years

Yes, I used it to help some of my friends children, ages 6-12, to learn how to play a few song. They enjoyed it.
