Review (5/5): Perfect Size for Little Ones
My 6 year old daughter has been using the Sonicare toothbrush since she was 4 years old, and she loves it! I buy these replacement heads specifically for ages 4-7 because they are the perfect size for her little mouth. Even though my daughter will be seven in a few months I plan on using this size for at least another year. They come in two colors, light blue and red. The length of the brush head from base to top is about 2 3/4 inches long and the head itself is just over .5 inches. Once when I ran out of this size replacement heads I used the size up, (the one for ages 7-10) and immediately noticed the difference. That size head is significantly longer (closer to the length of the replacement heads for adults) and is much harder for little ones to control. As a matter of fact, my daughter did such a poor job of using the toothbrush with the longer head that my husband and I had to brush her teeth for her. Now I make sure to always have a replacement head on hand for whenever needed. I buy them through Amazon's subscribe and save so I never run out. The price here on Amazon is pretty good too. I would highly recommend getting this size replacement brush head for any little ones who uses the Sonicare toothbrush. FYI these replacement heads also fit, and work with, the adult toothbrush. So, you could just buy the heads for your little one and use with your own Sonicare.....the kids' toothbrush is about the same length as the adult one, (the actual toothbrush not the head) only a bit chunkier so kids should be able to manipulate the adult Sonicare as easily as they would the kids.
