Got this for my 7 year old.  He really likes it and for the price I think it is a great buy.  I will say this though, their are 3 wheel models out there that both my 7 and 4 year old like a lot better than this two wheel razor.  The three wheel ones are a lot easier to control and most have a fixed front wheels which my kids like better.  They are more expensive, but I think they are worth it over the 2 wheel versions.  Again this one is good. . . kids love it, just something to think about.
