Will this be appropriate for a 7 yr. old? The detectors geared towards youth seem to have some poor reviews so I'm looking to buy an adult-sized one

I bought one for my 8 yr old son. He uses it and so do I. I love it! It works and it's easy to use

To me, if you assist him until he gets used to it, it should be pretty easy.

It worked perfectly for my 7 year old so I would think it would work well for a 6 year old too. :-D

Its not too advanced. After an adult puts it together she can easily use it on her own. However, we have tried to use it at night and it only works well with a full moon and no artificial light around your house. Keep in mind this is a kid's telescope and not a fancy one that works like the ones that go for $100+

My grandson is 7, and he is very interested on how things works and problem solves. I got the snap circuit 300 for him figuring it had a lot more options for him. Not sure what age your looking for.

The shaft is adjustable down to 32 inches from grip to sensor. At the angle most people would use it, it should be suitable for kids.

Well. I would not recommend this for a 7 year old. I would recommend it for a 8 or 9 year old.\

I think it should work well for him with adult supervision. I gave this to my grandson when he was 6.

Yes it would be ok for children, it is quite durable, could be dropped don't see it getting damaged. Has decent magnification. Comes with a little carrying case.

we used it yesterday at my 2 year old grandson birthday party. a 5 year old little girl sat at it nicely. if I was buying for a 7 year old, I might go with something bigger because they would grow out of it too soon.

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.

This Zebco 33 should be good for a 7 year old. It will hold up better than a smaller kids rod, but may take a little longer for him to handle it, although it's pretty light weight. It's also relatively inexpensive for what it is.

My daughter is 7 and it fits. It dials to fit and seems to have a big range so should probably work

motion detector works fantastic in my 24 gun safe mine is an ELITE STACK-ON if your safe is bigger I would get two made my safe look like it cost a lot more for those that don't know I did not screw in instead I used the Velcro that came with it. it also comes with screws. I just peeled and stuck on the ceiling of safe you cant even see it, but as soon as the door opens the light goes on don't forget batteries. good luck John

I think it will work well for a child. Good instruction and thr rubber band that comes with it is a great training aid for a youngster, in my opinion. I hope this helps.

I'd say awesome for a youth for the money. My son is 7 turning 8 this year. I don't know of a better one for the money, if you find it, let me know.

I bought it for my seven-year-old son but an adult would fit and can use it as well.

If you explain how to use the remote and activate the different information. You'll be fine. I purchased for my 7 year old. He loves geography and I can tell you this has seen a lot of shelf time. When we go places or he sees something on discovery...it comes out again. He loves the feature that he can find out how far a destination is for us and how long it will take to get there.
