Mostly seen younger children having a problem with 3D games, because they have to manage both the movement of the character as well as the camera perspective. I feel like below 6 years, they have a hard time wrapping their heads around it / master the controls.

Having said that, Mario Kart 8 is really a good choice (despite it being 3D): * it almost drives itself in 50cc cups * it has 4 types of cups, which gradually get harder * it's great fun alone and in coop * it has great challenges: win the cup/ win all races

if it's not about co-op, but about letting your kid drive and _you_ sitting in the passenger seat, i can highly recommend the titles from https://www.humongous.com/games They are like interactive cartoons with some mini games thrown in. Basically old school point and click adventures for kids.
