I would only recommend it for adults, I'll explain why in a moment. First of all I really like this product, it's better than any other Nintendo Switch Pro controller dock and I don't have to constantly connect some stupid add-on to my controller that most other docks require. Now the USB-C connector protruding from the dock's base, where the controller seats don't move, is pretty stiff. It doesn't retract like some other docks for other devices like the first batch PS4 controller dock. If you try to insert the controller at the wrong angle and use even a little excessive force, you'll damage it due to that tough USB-C connector. After connecting the controller, if you apply too much force to the side of the controller (e.g. hit something against the controller), the connector may break. That's why I say that the device belongs only to adults. Any adult should be smart enough to use this product, but a child will likely make a mistake and likely break the dock or worse, damage your controller.
