[QUOTE="riariases"][QUOTE="PowerStarved"][QUOTE="ionusX"] the 3ds is strictly not an infants toy keep out of reach of minors under (but not including) the age of 7
no tikes with a 3ds got that.. their eyes havent developed enough to handle 3d technologies at work in the handheld and have been causing the ceasing of eye developement beyond that age range (in short your eyes would stop growth and developement after age 6)
those still wanting an infant to use it are strongly recommended to cut the 3ds to normal 2d mode in the configuration settings to reduce the risk of eye damage.
nintendo's use of a 2d mode in the 3ds is there strictly for this reason as in testing it has been quite common to see it happen which is the reason for the concern.

so in short the following is a big no no
But can kids under the age of 6 really use any hand held game let alone a 3DS? Last time I played Golden Sun at my baby cousin's house (who is 5 by the way) he took the game out of my DS and tried to SWALLOW it. I don't think you should trust someone with a hand held gaming system, who is also likely to try and eat the $35 games. Not trying to sound offensive but thats a stupid kid. When I was five I was playing A Link to the Past on SNES and Final Fantasy VII on PS1 which are semi-complicated games for a five year old. Yeah he isn't a very smart, but exposing your child to a development stumping piece of technology isn't either. I'd take my stupid cousin over a cousin with sight problems.
