A Remote Controlled Helicopter for a 4 Year Old

[Kindra178]

Ds3 wants a remote controlled helicopter. That's the only thing he wants. I have seen a ton for age 8 and up. Any good ones that would work for a four year old?

I would wait until he's older. Family have given ones to DS and DH ends up using them. Difficult to control and it takes a lot of practice.

Yes, this. There is just no way on earth I'd give a 4yo remote controlled helicopter. They're hard to use and fairly easy to break whcih could lead to major disappointment. I'd say min age for one would be closer to 6 or 7. Dh got one for himself last year and while he had a ton fun with it, he struggled with controlling it at first and ended up crashing it in a few months.
