Should You Buy The Syma 3 Channel S107 Indoor Helicopter For Your Child?

This is definitely not a toy for the younger children. For a start, it has small parts that present a choking hazard. However, it's also unsafe for younger children due to the risk of hurting themselves if they don't control it properly when flying. For this reason, it has a manufacturer age recommendation of 14 years and up.

As long as your child is old enough, this is an excellent quality RC helicopter. Syma present it as one of the lightest and smallest you can buy, which makes flying easy - and it also takes up less space in storage! Its size and simplicity make it an excellent choice if you're looking for something more affordable than the standard remote control toy offerings. And don't think that means poorer quality, either. Flights are really smooth on this toy (if a little short).

Although it does have a 14+ age recommendation, many parents have stated just how easy this helicopter is to use. Many remote control toys are difficult for kids to understand, but this won't be a problem with the Syma 107. If you do let your younger children use it, make sure they're supervised at all times.

Lastly, if you're looking for a good bargain on this helicopter then be careful when you're buying. Stick to trusted sellers only to avoid counterfeits. If you're unsure, visit the Syma website and read their section on buying genuine toys. Thankfully the real thing is extremely affordable, as are any replacement parts you may need down the line.

All in all, the Syma 3 Channel S107 Indoor Helicopter is affordable, works well, and is an excellent choice for an introduction to RC toys, or for those who collect them. Although flights may not last long, this toy will provide endless fun for older children!
