I got this for my little brother's 3rd birthday. He is a little young according to the age recommendation, but I figured he could handle it, and I was right. The solar robot is very cute and very small, and although it hasn't gotten harmed by either one of my young siblings so far, it seems like it's probably fragile. I wouldn't suggest leaving it on a high desk or table where the sun might hit it and cause it to walk off the edge. My brother handles his toys with care, but you might not want to get this toy for a more rambunctious child who might throw it. My only issue with this product is that the head with the solar receiver on it should be more adjustable; As it is, there are times during the day when there's plenty of sun but it won't quite hit the robot at the right angle, and thus it remains immobile. But my brother loves it anyway -- He pretends it's a new character from the movie Wall-E. :) My parents think the toy is great too!

I bought it for my 4 and 7 year old grandsons who really ejoyed watching it walk around. It comes in one piece and the shipping was very reasonable! It doesn't do alot,but is very cute and a good idea for them to learn about solar power. I think it was a good gift.

This robot is too small , we expect a bit bigger size , it's moving too slow , not as much fun as we expected , my son lost his interest to this toy in 5 minutes , not worth the spending money.
