6 year olds vs 6 years old

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. '6 year olds' is used to refer to multiple 6-year-old children, while '6 years old' is used to describe the age of a single person. Therefore, the choice between the two depends on whether you are talking about multiple children or the age of a single individual.
