Is this too small for a tall 5 year old? Will it carry her weight, so that it will go fast enough for her to enjoy it?

My almost 7 year old son steals it for a ride. I will tell you that it isn't very fast about 3-5 mph if that. My now four year old still rides it everywhere! Hope this helps

i first bought this for my daughter when she turned 5 and it carried her weight great. she was the perfect height. and the speed is perfect for the age.

I don't know the answer to your question regarding height and weight. My feeling is that the speed is too slow for a 5 year old to really enjoy the ride. I think a 5 year old is ready for a two speed Power Wheel ride. Just my opinion.

FYI ~ for the speed that it goes, and the size, we just bought this for our About-to-Turn 2 year old.

I think that it will be too small for a tall 5 year old. It moves pretty slow. (geared more for the smaller/younger girls). My little girl is 2, and she is not completely satisfied with the speed. Especially when she sees her older brother on his faster ride.

I bought for my 5 year old at christmas...she was to big for it. It was slow carring her. It was a good size and speed for my 2 yr old

We bought this for our then 2 year old. He is now 3. Our 6 year old rides it to with no problems. He's tall for his age and is 50 pounds. I hope this helps!!

Honestly I'm not sure but it would be too small for a 5 year old. It's not very big.

I would say that it is a bit small for anaverage size 5 year old. It's sits very low to the ground. I bought it for my almost 2 year old and it is the perfect size for her.

I think it would be OK. My daughter is about 5' and can ride it no problem.

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.

If she does, it won't be for long... my niece who just turned 6 is 45 pounds can barely fit for a few minutes comfortably. When my daughter who is probably about 34 inches sits in it, she probably only has a foot of space above her head (and less space for getting in and out as the roof arches up for more headspace once inside). You might want to look for another toy, or you can get this and enjoy it for a little while. I'm sure you could sell it easily when you're done with it (or save it for another kiddo).

I bought this for my 13 year old grandson. He is only 5'4". I saw him ride it yesterday and I would "guess" that your to tall! However, he told me it rides real smooth and it is easy to handle!!

I have a 4 year old that is currently riding it. She is tall for her age but its perfect for her.

I guess it would really depend on how tall he/she is. I bought this for my 3 year old, and he's 5 now, and still loved it.

My 2 year old just started being able to get on it himself and actually use it. My 5 1/2 year old is very tall and she just recently said she was getting too big for it. I would say he will be able to use is for a couple years and really like riding it around.

I think it would be too small for a 5 year old. S/he would fit, but the sponge is thin and so at that size and weight it would not give good support .

My daughter is 5 and she's about 42 inches in height...it's kind of too small for her but she needs a three wheel scooter so it works for her for now.

I think it would be great. Our 5 yo is shorter than average, and it's a bit big for her. She manages to ride it, but I think it will serve her to age 7 at least

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 not let a 5 yr old on it. My grandson is 10 and it's pretty fast and I was even reluctant to let him ride it. I do have a 5 yr old grandson and he will not be allowed on it yet.

Yes, I think a 5 yr old would like it. It was bigger then I thought it was going to be. The unit we have measures 4' 9" at the highest point and its 4' wide and 4' 9" long. It is easy to build and tear down quickly.
