This is my 2nd purchase on this item and I really love it! I purchased the first for my son who is 7 and he has a blast with it. I wouldn't recommend for kids under maybe 6 at the youngest just because of controlling it with your hand. These things fly up pretty high and once you get it right, your hand does control it. The lights are vibrant and bright, even in the daylight and especially cool at night. The item itself is very durable, ours hit the ground a few times and she's still intact lol this probably won't be the last one that I purchase ;-)
