In this early stage, it is very hard to give piece of advice based on years.
Cubetto can be pretty fine or not.

You should make your decision on what your kid is capable of. For this, most teachers use Piaget's theory:

And to start with Cubetto, your kid should be in preoperational stage. In practice it means that you should not be able
to "fool" them using this experiment:

Usually this happens between 5-7 year. But it is very common to see differences. In both directions.

Anyway, Cubetto is great tool to start with because you can visually see which command is executed (the command on the
board flash).
Once kid master this it is good idea to move them to BeeBot. It has the same length of step so you can keep the pads. It
is just harder because you do not see the commands you put there (unless you buy the ridiculously expensive bluetooth
version). And you have to keep it in memory. Also BeeBot can do 2-3 times more commands at once compared to Cubbeto so
you can do more complex exercises.
