Is it difficult to pull back? Buying for a 5 yr old and want to make sure he can do it on his own w/out too much frustration.

it is not hard at all to pull back. can tell you the arrows are kind of hard to line up for it to sit there for the kid to draw back on. otherwise my son is having fun with it

The bow works great. It's tight the first few times, but it loosens. Have fun with it!

I guess it would depend on how much strength the 5 year old has. I bought it for my grandsons who are 9 and 11. They didn't have a hard time with it.

The five year old we bought it for was able to shoot it decently within one day. It will not go as far someone older and stronger and with time and use the string will loosen even more.

Very easy. My 5 year old was able to do it by himself. My 2 year old could do it with some help. Just takes a minute or two.

I am 6 foot. and 47years old.The first time that I cocked it back I did it real slow and I thought my god I'm going to hurt myself but after a few times and learned how to pull it in one smooth pull back it's very easy and simple to cock back.very short stroke and with practice I think anyone can do it.

Hmm... Ours wasn't stiff but it takes kids a bit to get used to it. It's hard at first then once you get in the rhythm its great. We did buy ours about 5 years ago so it's possible they changed the way it's made. Sorry not much help.

I just had to pull it by force.. and it pops our completely and then reinstall.. sometimes I get lucky it doesn't come out completely. like other parents, I guess you have to be experienced enough and then it will be easy to use... :( but this I still the best ive seen so far

I don't think too easy. There are enough modes (14) to make it fun.My son is 7 and I have to help him with the main body part especially and pushing some of the stiffer parts together.

I had the same problem being the Nana but my son was able to pull off the wheels with a "good strong tug!" Obviously, the originator did not consider the need to make the wheel assembly more "child and parent friendly," unfortunately.

if the wagon is on pavement and empty it should be easy to pull depending of course on how old/big the kid is. its a very well built wagon and is heavier than a play wagon. filled with lumber and bogged down in mud would be difficult even for some adults. its a matter of common sense.

I think an easier level. My husband and I have only gotten to number 5 on this. It sits on my dresser and we are going to let my 38 year old son try. It is very challenging, I had no idea it would be this hard. I'd try an easier level for your child. And you can't take up from where you dropped off , you have to start over again. A lot of dexterity, patience, and holding your breath. But it is nice to look at.

my 4 yr old niece helped my 2 yr old nephew. It was a little stiff at the beginning, but once they started playing with it, it got easier. And the 2 yr old did it my himself.

I think it would be too much for a 5yr old to handle. Sometimes there is a pressure built up with hot liquids that make it seal tight and its hard to break. I have "morning hands" where I don't have full strength in my hands when i wake up and I sometimes need my husband to open it for me.

It's not hard really at all. Just takes a few times doing it to get the hang of it because you need to pull it back towards you then slightly raise it to get it going down.

I believe the "hard to pull" is an old problem that has been fixed. I remember reading that before I got mine. Mine is not hard to pull. If you have any problems, Suncast is very helpful.

Purchase for my grandchildren 4 and 5 years old. The keys are hard to get off but just like any other key board if you use a knife or screw drive or something of that nature you can pop them off. Just to pick them off no it didn't happen for us and believe me if there was a way my grandson would of figured it out. Hope this helps.

Not very hard. The handle is easy to grip and pull down. My little 12 year old brother has no problem at all, I would assume anyone 8 and up would be about right for such a product. In addition I'd recommend searching YouTube videos for more information. Hopefully this helps!

our kid is 2 years old and loves being pushed around in it. she has trouble pushing herself forward in it, but no problem going backwards. thinks its funny when she back into things. its just a matter of time before she gets the hang of using her feet to push propel herself forward.

we get this one for my 7 years old and he tried to do by himself, but if any mistake he needs to return to the point were is made and do it again, there are so many small pieces, at the end I have to help him finish the toy even he wanted to do it by himself haha, but was hard for him even he was trying his best to do it.
