Have you experiences of using this to create relation drop downs ?

Yes you can have relationships. You will find some working examples in the custom filters page http://breakdesigns.net/extensions/custom-filters

You can create the age ranges as custom fields. E.g a custom field named age and the ranges will be the values of that field.
Then in every product you will have to pick a value (age range) for that custom field.

With Custom Filters you can create a filter from that custom field and set how you want it to be displayed (link,checkbox, list etc)
