Is it good for a 5 year old

My son still rides his at 7!!! We live in the city and with the bumby sidewalks, etc. it's been just great! They really help them learn to balance and ride a "big boy" bike! My son is doing really well on his now, and I said to him, I think you are ready for a big boy bike and he said, not quite, I still love my Go Glider! I highly recommend it if you don't think your son/daughter is ready for a two wheeler!

Yes I bought this for my 5 year old and he was actually riding it (balancing) with his feet up on the pegs within two days. Once he had the confidence to balance he was on a pedal bike with no problems. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I think a five year old would not be too interested in this item. It's more for a younger child. A more interactive item might be better.tive

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..

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

I got this for my 8 year old Daughter, she loved it. I think it's not too heavy for a 5 year old, my opinion.

I got it for my 2 year old niece and she loves it. I believe your five year old will enjoy it too as almost all little girls love dolls.

I agree with M.Bate. To simple for a "precocious" 5 yr old but it might be good for a very young 5.

It would probably be most appropriate for 4-5 year olds. I bought it for my 6 year old son and he was done with it in about 20 minutes.

Yes it is worth it. Its a great set for a 5 year old. He will love it. However, its very sensitive when playing with one or more kids because it is made of plastic. I recommend this hot wheel because most kids love playing it.

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

yes this is safe for a 5 year old. If your five year old can ride a bike he should not have a problem with this scooter . This is a good fun toy. Not a great means of transportation. My son age 10 could not keep up on our bike rides.

I think it would be a bit much for your 5 year old grandson, it has been quite a learning curve for me and challenging. it is also quite fragile. hope this helps.

Hi K. Carone,Ummm, it depends on the size of the 5 yr old. But I don't think so. My boyfriend assists our 4 yr old with riding it. So I think it's fine.

I think it would be great for that age. I bought one for my 5 Year old daughter and she has gotten the hang of it. Also it's pretty fun to play with being an adult too. It's a pretty quick toy. Good Luck!

It would probably be too small for a 5 year old. Our granddaughter started using it at 18 months old.

It can easily be used for a 5 year old. Our 7 year old granddaughter uses it all the time. The only problem we have with it is that the way the post sticks through the mat. Since we move it around a lot it is always droppin( the center rod. But that also makes it easy to store flat. So it's up to you what's important.

Yes its perfect for a 5th grade. I brought it for my son who is in 5th grade.
