I purchased this set for my son/daughter who are 4 years old. They were very excited to have them (comparable products in the Disney parks are more than 3x the cost). They can operate the zippers easily. The lanyards are long on them - the coin purse part is at my 4-year-old's knees - but for the price, it's perfect for her to collect her pressed pennies in. I also spotted several of this very same product at Disney World - it's a great price!!
