Will this work for a 5 year old?

It depends on the childs weight. If the child is between 30 to 50 pounds, it should be fine. I have a couple children over 50 pounds, I got them the youth ski jackets for the pool.

It fits children 30 to 50 pounds. I would go by that and not the age. My daughter is 3 and 36lbs. If works very well for her.

Yes, I think a 5 year old could put this together just fine (with a little help). The pieces are larger than the standard LEGOS. My granddaughter loves it.

It's a nice 'cuddle' doll but it might be a bit young for a 5 year old. I guess it would depend on the 5 year old.

Yes. I bought one for my 9 yr old. And just order 2 more for a 6 & 7 yr Olds. Not recommended for under 5. I would say. :-)

Yes it should work good. My son was 5 when we bought it and he still plays with it. Just be prepared to have extra batteries on hand. it takes 6 c and 2 AA.

I would not buy it. My two year old granddaughter has trouble with it because her legs are a bit long.. I think 5 years old is just too big..

I would definitely avoid this toy with a 5 year old. The ball is about as heavy as a billiard ball in pool. And you have to swing it around on a string about the same length as a child's arm. So, there is a good chance your child would be knocked in the head. They could easily knock out teeth or damage something if they started swinging this thing around too vigorously.

No, it would be frustrating and could not be handled by a five year old. This is something for someone much older. Wait about 12-13 years.

I am not sure on the size, I bought it for my 5 year old son and it works. I am pretty sure it would work.

It may be too small for a five year old. Our granddaughter is two and she enjoys it. She will probably still fit in it at three or four.

It depends on how big the 5 year old is. I gave it to my nephew when he was 7 and it was not too heavy for him.

No I would say this would be better for ages 1 to 5. And it would have to be a small 5 year old.

Depends on the child but I'd say no .... closer to 5 should be the starting age

I bought this for my three year old. It is a bit big on top so she wears a tshirt under it. I would say it would work for most 3-5 year olds and smaller 6 year olds.

I guess it would depend on how tall the 5-year-old is. My 2-1/2 year-old granddaughter got right on hers and did pretty good with it although it was just a bit tall for her (she is very petite for a 2-year-old). So, I guess, it would depend on how tall/big the child is. My grandsons got on a regular scooter (a razor) when they were 4 and 5 and that worked very well for them.

I would not purchase it for a child that size, but that's just my personal opinion. I purchased this item back in 2010 and have had many children on it and it's been a lot of fun. The 5 year old who is 40 something pounds and tall, is still enjoying it, but not for long.

We bought it for our 2 year old and she is still a little but too small an uncoordinated to use it well. She is very small for her age. I think it will be perfect for her at 3-5 years old. It is adjustable so it should work for several years.
