plasma car

My nephew is turning 6 this week and my sisters and I are thinking of going together to get him a plasma car.

Is it too young for him?  Anyone have one and can reassure me that he'll like it?

It says 2-5, so will he be too old/big for it?  I don't know anything about these things, but I usually go with manufacturer recommendation for age when I buy gifts (not necessarily when I buy my own child a toy).

It says 2-5 but the description says "adult friendly" and reviews say its been bought for older kids and that parents have played on it too.. Just what I got from reading no personal experience.

I think he might be too old to get much use from it. I am planning to buy for my sons 2nd birthday as that is about when my friends have purchased for their little ones.

We have one, and I would say that 6 is borderline too old for it.  He might get a year out of it, but that's probably it.  My 5-year-old still uses it some, and my almost 3-year-old loves it.  DH and I have also ridden it before, just for a laugh.

I have a 5 1/2 year old & he wouldn't be into this at all, I'm afraid. More for a 2 year old.

Legos? I am pretty sure every young boy in America likes Legos.

Thanks.  Yeah the more I thought about it the more I realized he's probably too old.  Oh well , we'll figure something else out.

Legos and nerf guns, we've discovered there isn't such thing as too many of either for my six year old.

We have them- my almost 6 year old still loves it. What about a razor scooter?
