will a 4 yr old have the strength to pump and shoot the soaker?

Short answer, yes - however, as most things in life, it depends on how strong your 4-year-old is.

I'm not sure but I would think so. Its pump action, so it shoots when you pump. It does not build up pressure like other soakers.

My nephew, who is 3 turning 4 in June was able to figure it out. It was a little tough at first, but once he got the hang of it he didn't want to put it down. I would suggest buying extra water cartridges because they run out of water fast. A super fun water gun! And safe.

Yes, I believe a 4 year old could. The button isn't very hard to press and is fairly big. My son was 5 and had no problem.

I'd say no even though I really like this airgun. I don't think it's the best starter for a kid that young. Maybe you're ok with something this powerful but even then there are others that are lighter and easier to cock. I know the Crossman Nitro is much easier to handle. I'm sure there are others but my friend has a Nitro and if I had to pick one for a kid it would be that one over mine. Either way, I'm assuming you know this isn't the same as handing a kid a bb gun. This can do some damage even at a pretty long range.

Our daughter is as a small Gail about 114# and she did pretty good with it we also got a bench reast. But it is pretty hard to pump the barrel down.

Sounds possible. You'd just need to be sure you have enough water volume to feed that much soaker hose at 10 psi.

You can try, but it works better the higher you fill it. 3/4 would work, and it shouldn't be too high for your children. It is a great pool, though.

My child didn't have difficulty when they first started using it at age 6. Though I don't remember the grip/strength a 4 year old has. To help her get use to containers, when we were home, I serves her lunch and snacks (sometimes breakfast) in the containers so she could practice =) By the first day of school, she was a pro!

My chld is younger and really enjoys it. She's not strong enough to use it for very long at one time. Neighborhood kids in that age group like to stop by when they see my child shooting it, and ask if they can have a few turns shooting it. They all seem to enjoy it. I'd say go for it!

Honestly not really. My 8 year old struggles with it. My 10 year old has no problems. It is a sturdy gun though and well made.

If he can lift 40lbs it should be fine. Itight be a little difficult the first few shoots but it doesn't take long at all to build the strength...and bonus strength building is good for all of us. Hope that helps

I doubt it, but it depends on what level swimmer the child is. If they just need a little confidence it might work.

No, unless you have arms the length of a child's, your reach will not allow a full draw and the shot will be unsteady.

It is 15 inches by 5 inches, it would probably be to heavy for a small child of say 4 or 5. Where the refill cap screws on the threads are not even so its a little hard to screw back on. which makes it leak a little also. but with kids playing with these it would empty before a problem. One other thing, you use the pump lever to shoot it, it doesn't have a trigger you pull.

I would say yes if s/he is already comfortable in the water and quite strong. But for most 18 month olds I would say no. Id try something like this Swim School Aqua Tot Trainer

Yes it its, it is pretty small and im a bit to strong to pull the plunger to make it fire. So a 10yo would be ok with this.

The trigger and hand grip are a little large for the average 3 year-old to get their hands around with comfort but it is possible. Our gradchildren did not have too much difficulty getting me soaked with the squirtgun. Have fun!

Oh yea. Most definitely! My Son is 4yrs old and he got the hang of it quick. Lol
