I'm thinking about getting this for my 2 year old for his birthday. Do you think this would be to hard for him to handle?

I Alyse, I gave it to my nephew on his birthday when he completed 2 years old. He knew how to use the pedals, but use the steer wheel was a lil confusing. However, I think if your son practices four or five times, he will be fine. By the way, it is a great present to share with other kids.

If he has already mastered a tricycle and big wheel-type vehicles, he can probably handle the steering - especially in the slow gear. But it's pretty big and bulky, so if he's on the small side, you may want to wait til the 3rd birthday. It's big enough that even older kids can drive it. (my 10 year old can still squeeze in and drive it around). So you'll have it a long time.

Bought it for 1 year old granddaughter, however, our grandson that just turned 2 loved it just as much. I think you should be fine.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

I would not consider it a toy and think that it would not be appropriate for a 2 year old. I would recommend an age range of at least 5 and up. I actually bought one for myself.

my 4 yr old niece helped my 2 yr old nephew. It was a little stiff at the beginning, but once they started playing with it, it got easier. And the 2 yr old did it my himself.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

In my opinion, no. I bought it as a gift for a 4 year old and it took her awhile to get the hang of it. But only you know the capabilities of your child, so I would lean more towards a toddler version.

I don't think it's too easy. It won't be difficult, but will keep an 8 yr. Old busy. There are creattive activities, i think an 8 yr. Old would like.

Yes, the pieces are too hard for a 2 year old to push together, but at age 2, they can pick the item they want made and someone else can put it together.

Although it is a bouncy house it is not super bouncy for a 2 year old. My daughter was 2 when we bought this and have had no issues.

My 2 yr old doesn't seem to be able to move it around too much when he's jumping. Based on my experience I don't think you'll have that problem.

I think it might be dangerous for a 2 yr. old...it is very fast. There is a model for kids age 2 to 5 which would be safer.

Probably not. We got it for our three year old grandson. He's enjoyed it a lot, but eventually it got too easy for him.

it bounces pretty well but my wife and I use it. I think that it might be a little to stiff for a toddler. If they can reach the bar that might help them be able to push down a little harder. Hope this helps.

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 :).

Well, a 2 year old could make it "go' but probably doesn't have the motor skills and coordination to steer it at the same time. Depending on the child, they could very well get a kick out of just watching it while an adult operates it though... My 3 year old has gotten the basic idea over time but is still not good at steering it really.

I think the quality is great. It is very stable. That being said it is also heavy. Probably about 25 lbs. It may need to be placed somewhere where he can use it and not have to more it around or he may need help moving it every time he wants to use it.
