This ice machine is perfect for Young toddlers (12 mos +) as well for adults too!  It’s also perfect for frozen adult drinks too!  Whether it’s cold or really hot outside, it hits the spot on your tongue & tummy!  I highly recommend this product for any age.  we own 2 for both of our homes & just purchased another one for our son & daughter-in-law & their 18mo th d daughter!  Our grand daughter has been letting these small ice cubes melt in her mouth not in her hands Daly!
