Okay, I have another dilemma. Well, actually not a dilemma, so much as a judgement call. I want to get my nephew this hovercraft I just saw on Amazon.
HERE'S THE LINK.
Do you guys think this is okay for a seven-year old? It doesn't give any age recommendations anywhere on the page.
Why not? What's the worst thing that could happen? Couple fingers cut off. Maybe electrocution. Hey.... it's all part of growing up.
Really? You think it's alright? Cool. Then I think I'm going to buy it.
Let me know how the little brat likes it.
Have you seen the little brat around lately?
Check the bottom of the well.
Damn is that the last one they have? You better hurry, one click and its mine.
And I have his slingshot. Nice one.
I already bought it, sublime.
My six year old nephew is so going to kick your ass when I tell him.
Nobody buy that f*cking thing! I'll kick your all your damn asses!
Excuse me. What I meant to say was, please be nice and let me buy this toy for my nephew, good people.
Okay, if there are no sane voices with serious answers in the next ten minutes, I'm buying that hovercraft!
Is it okay for a 7-year old kid to have a hovercraft?
He will accept that gift and you will see the wonder in a childs eyes as he grabs the controls with abject facination plays with it. 10 minutes later he will decide it's a piece of **** and smash it.
Yes kicky, it is safe to buy him the hovercraft. You're going to be
his favorite uncle right after christmas. However, if that thing is too
noisy, your sister is going to kill ya.....
I say go for it, I bought my nephew a truck that would climb walls last year and he loved it. I was seriously thinking about getting him that hovercraft until I saw there was only one left. You're lucky I'm a nice guy.
Here's the manufacturer's site"

You can always ask them if there is an age recommendation, or if the thing will knock holes into a wall and stuff like that.

I certainly
hope it's noisy...hehehe...I bought it, along with a couple other things. Yay. Another couple people crossed off the list. I think I'm making good headway on this christmas shopping crap.
