yes, but it can actually be difficult to operate considering it loads slowly and doesn't start up when play is pressed. But I bought this machine in the color white and it stopped working within around 5-7 uses.

It is geared for someone older as far as the operation of it but there is no reason younger kids couldn't learn to use it.

We gave it to our 4 year old for Christmas and he loves it. Unfortunately after 4 months, it no longer reads the CDs. You can still plug in an iPod/iPhone into it.

I originally order this for a 3 year old who loved it. His 5 year old cousin then asked for one. I'd say it's good for 3 and up. The adults also played with it.

My son was 4 when we got it. He struggled to get it to work everytime, but I'd say 5 and up! Adults could absolutely use it too!

Yes it is perfect for Children 5 to 13. It is not a toy and has metal strings.

I would say yes. I bought it for my almost 3yr old who is now 5 and he has out grown it. each child is different though.

We're parents, and we thought he was entertaining. My 3 year old loves him and can steer him very easily. I'd think that a 5-6 year old might want something a little more advanced, but for 2-4, this is great (and it's sturdy!)

Yes, I would say that the weight would be OK for a five year old; It's pretty light. However, there are three settings, and an on/off switch on the other side of the device. I'm not sure a five year old would be able to operate the thing--unless someone spent time showing them how.

I would say it best suits kids under 5 'comfortably'. However, all 4 of my kids (ages 10 yr boy, 6 yr boy, 4 yr girl and 2 yr girl) all play with it just fine. The table stands appx 2ft tall and the chairs are appx 12" tall (from floor to where the seat is, not counting back support) and seem to be pretty sturdy for their small sz! My 10 year old boy weighs about 100 lbs and sits on it problem free and it seems to accommodate me as well! (I'm 5"9 and about 200lbs) So, depending on your preference, it seems to be an all around table! :)

I would say its for kids 2 to maybe 5 (possibly 6). Definitely not older than that. 8 years old...that is ridiculous!

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

No, this item is meant for very young children. I would say up to 5 years old.

It's fine for my 5 year old, but too flimsy for my 8 year old. Definitely made for the 2-4 range and my five y o is pushing it.

it's good for your baby. 5 children are using it. and although it isnt big they love it. will do just fine

My son is 2 and he operates it just fine I wouldn't buy it for a 5 yr old unless they're small.

The manufacturer says 5 and up, and I would have to agree. It has some small parts that could be easily swallowed by younger children. It also took us a few tries to get the transformation correct, but my son picked it up much more quickly than I did! :)

Hi,My kids love it but they are 11 and 8. I use it too.It may be a little difficult for a five year old and may frustrate them. I would wait. Try the ez glider. I have that too and is super easy and fun.

It is good for kids of 3-5 years old. I brought it for my 4 year old daughter. She loves to build it.
