Eh, I was using the bus to get to my town's local library when I was 9 years old. Granted that was a number of decades ago but the idea that a 10yo can't navigate a bus or just be close enough to walk is a little silly. (Edit: Not to imply I think that's a reason why we need to be overly concerned about what's age appropriate beyond laws relating to actual porn, mind.)
