Would this be suitable for an 8 or 9 year old boy?

Yes I have even seen older boys 10 and 11 riding it. The part for there legs extends out. My grandchildren love it

My oldest is 6 loves it and it does come with leg extenders for bigger kids. I think kids of all ages would like it, but you are more limited to getting around (compared to a bike) that is the only thing to think about I guess...

I purchased this for my son when he was 8. He is now 9 and absolutely loves this. It's been fun and durable.

I think it would be. It would be certainly unlike anything they've done and being a little older, they'll get the hang of it quickly and be able to do some fun things that the smaller kids like my 6 and 7 year old grandkids can't.

It might be hard for them to build but with assistance it should be fine. There are a lot of little pieces that can be lost and break off from the ship but they are easy enough to put back together. Overall it is a good toy for a younger kid that is first getting building projects. I would recommend it to an 8 year old.

of course the manufactured would kinow best; however, my grandchildren age 9 and 12 asked for same for Christmas 2013. Thne 12 year old is really into it and really enjoys it and understands the concept; but my 9 year old does not seem interested (has not yet begun to look at it). I would say it all depends on the child and their interests. Sorry, this is all I have to offer.

I think it would be perfect for a 9 year old boy or even older. I took it out and spent several hours enjoying figuring out what each rock is. It's also a nice rock collection with lots of good educational info and I found it fun to then google each rock and learn more about it. Really limitless.

yes, think an 8 year old would enjoy - it has several choices of 'games' to put together - think it's also, advertised as 8 and upour granddaughter was 9 and loved it - actually think it was one of most enjoyed presents. Go for it!

Yes and no. Good for all ages, but a nine year old might not be as taken with it.

Probably not. If he likes to build things it will be good for him. My nephews are 8 and they love it and rarely put them down.

I don't think the weight would be a problem with an 8 year old, but his or her legs will be too long I think. But it is PERFECT for 2-4 maybe 5 year old.

Absolutely not! My youngest is also 8 years old and he loves it! It's great fun for him.

No... they'd have to put some effort into it. My 7 year old son and my 4 year old nephew use it just fine with no problems.

I think this sleeping bag would be a little too small for an 8yr old. Probably ideal for a 3-7 yr old. I'm sure he would fit in it, but probably not as comfortably as you would like.

I bought this one for my eight year old and he loves it, I would believe that it would be a good fit for your nine year old

We brought it for our 7 year old and it's been pretty good. It may be a tad small for a 9 year old. Unless he's a beginner skater. It would be fun as part of an obstacle course with other things possibly...? Hope that helps.

I don't think it's too easy. It won't be difficult, but will keep an 8 yr. Old busy. There are creattive activities, i think an 8 yr. Old would like.

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

I bought mine for a 9 year old (her Birthday) and she loves it! I think an 8 year old would too.

How small is the child? I think it would be good for maybe not younger than an 8 year old
