I bought this cute RC for my daughter's 5th birthday. She did not have any problem with figuring out how to make it do tricks. In my opinion, the RC is the perfect speed for younger kids. It does not go so fast that her eyes lose it, but it does not go so slow that she gets bored. The lights are awesome! It makes it way cooler than a plain RC, and we can easily play with it at dark. My favorite feature is that it is rechargeable. I hate having to constantly buy batteries, and I do not have to worry about that with this RC. The music is loud, but my daughter loves it. However, I know that it may annoy some children and/or parents.
