Boy for his birthday Power Wheel Jeeps

This is my opinion only, to help those unsure about what ages are best for this cart. We purchased this for my son, an average slim caucasian 6 year old boy for his birthday. Once we had it, I wished we had gotten it at least a year earlier based on its size. By 7, he was already well past optimal size. By 8.5, he was really just too big for it. His younger sister, who is larger for her age, began driving it at the low speed when she was 3.5 or so, with her 7.5 brother riding with her, in fenced private open space with few hazards. The younger limit is really more about the child's ability and judgement in handling the car, and more importantly, parental good sense and judgement. After learning and experience with her brother, she was driving it solo, at high, and with her younger sister as passenger, at low, by 4.5 to 5 or so, with close parental oversight, in fenced private open space with few hazards. I would say for an average individual child, buying it much younger than 4.5 to 5 requires very diligent supervision, and buying it much older than 7 would make it hard to get your money's worth before they start looking like a monkey on a matchbox car.
