Would This be appropriate for an 11 yr old? The "kid" version seems to be a piece of junk according to the reviews. Thanks!

I would think so, my nieces are 5 and 8 and they love theirs. Though it is more than a year old at this point, you might consider investing a little more unless you are concerned about abuse.

This tablet isn't the worst but it isn't the best. I got one for my 9 year old and one for my 14 year old. My 14 year olds tablet has been fine so far. The other tablet has been replaced twice. The tablet was having process error messages non stop. It got to the point you could not even use it because the error messages would freeze. When we got the replacement tablet the power button broke within the first day. We are waiting for replacement number two now. The memory is not very big. You can only download two or three game apps before the memory if full. From my experience, I would not buy this tablet again. I would spend the extra money and get a Kindle or Nook.

I think it would be. I purchased it for a 6-year old boy last Christmas and he loves it. It has held up well - no issues so far. He uses it primarily for games and Netflix. It's a lot slower than my Nexus 7, but that was expected given the price.

Yes, it would be appropriate for an eleven year old. However, I am currently waiting for a replacement unit, as it was defective.

I don't think this would be good for a 7yo. We have purchased three games for ours, and my 15mo really enjoys it, but my 5yo (2nd grader) only plays with it to show her little sister how to play the games. My toddler can turn the music and drawing app on by herself. I think a Nintendo DS or Kindle Fire would be a much better purchase for a 7yo! My 5yo will stay on her Kindle Fire HD for hours if I let her!!

My son is 11 and is amazing with it now. I'd say it's appropriate for any child who has adult supervision, and once you feel confident that your son/daughter can handle it properly and practices the proper techniques and safety precaution then he/she is able to use it on their own.

I believe this is more appropriate for younger children. I bought it for my 2 & 5 year olds last year. They loved it, but the now-6 year old only has slight interest in it by now. Also, the average 8 year old might find the size a little small (but most kitchenettes I've seen in the stores are all about this size and age level).

I would reccomend it , a lot of junk and toys out there, this is a good entry level and good quality for the price range, I think the pull distance is adjustable on this one that is why I bought this one , there are smaller ones out there but that 11 year old will start growing fast trust me, he should be lucky to get one, remember to lay down the saftey rules first, hugo's online had the best price last year, a straw hay bale wrapped in a plastic bag makes a good cheap target

I purchased this for my 7 yr. old grandson. He played with it once and didn't care for it. I wish I had researched it a little more. So many better interactive games for the young ones. Sorry I bought it. Hope this helps.

I think that your 11 year old is too mature for this I-Scope. My 6 & 8 year old grandchildren became bored with it in a relatively short amount of time, I am sorry too say. I think that the DS games and I-Pads have changed their way of processing to a much faster pace than this item gives. Thank you for the inquiry and I hope I have helped.

I have an 11 year old brother who I purchased this for as a birthday gift and he loves it! Your grandson should really enjoy it.

I think it is small for a mature 11 year old boy. It has a weight limit of 140 lbs so make sure it will be good for a while.

I think it would be great for that age. I bought one for my 5 Year old daughter and she has gotten the hang of it. Also it's pretty fun to play with being an adult too. It's a pretty quick toy. Good Luck!

I bought it for my 3 year old grandson. I don't know if it would be good for an eleven year old. By the time my grandson is eleven I would buy him a professional set if he still liked playing the drums. Tough call.

I bought 2 of these for my sons, aged 9 and 13. I had to send one back because my 13 year old hated it. He said it "sucked". My 9 year old, however, really likes it. So for an adult, I'd say buy something else.Hope that helps.

I just bought it for my 7 year old (soon to be 8). Her friend, also 7 has had one for awhile. Hope that helps.

well, given that it has easily removable limbs attached to ball joins, I would say no. BUT - there are others that are cheaper and much sturdier that you can find on Amazon and they will hold up well to the kind of play activities 11-year olds will put them through. Hope this helps.

Better suited for kids. I purchased it for my 11 year old nephew. Good for that age, adults would be bored quickly I think.

I bought this gorgeous set for my 5 year old grandson and he fits it quite nicely. The drums themselves would work: it's not a toy, but the seat would be too small. I would definitely go with a bigger set for an 11 year old. Hope this helps.

The short answer is that she's probably on the old side for this. My son is now 11 and while he does still tinker with it, I would need to purchase the add on kits to keep his interest. While I think it was a pretty good product, it didn't really fulfill what I had in mind as far as teaching him about electricity and circuitry. It is a bit like one of those science kits, it does something interesting, but doesn't really teach them why. I honestly think this would be a better age range for 6-10 year old's. Hope that helped, good luck and take care.
