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 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.

I bought one for my 10 yr old and she likes it. It might be pretty hard for a 5 yr old but I would get it. It will be a fun challenge.

For a 5 year old its border line. Borderline in that they might be too big for it. It's perfect for the preschool set. Look at some of the scooters that have two wheels instead of three. A five year old might be ready to balance on the two wheels.

this would be especially good for a five year old. we bought ours for our daughter's 9th birthday and it was frankly a bit low but it was all we could find that wasn't too high. we were lucky they had some extra poles we could add to extend ours up just a bit and it has, as a result, been perfect. it is easy to assemble and stays up without all the strings and stakes, etc...you can lower it for tennis if you want, and it is light. i highly recommend it for a five year old..

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

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.

Yes it is good for 1.5 year old, although I ordered for my son after his second birthday. I could have ordered earlier if I knew about it that time. My son started liking animals a lot after he turned two, before that it was more of car stuff. There aren't very tiny things in it, smallest is the bush (appx. 1" x 3/4" may be) but yes, I would monitor a toddler 1.5 year old throughout his play.

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 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 .

Yes. It is good for child of 4 years old. Just be carefull that do not take to his mouth.

No. I would not buy this item for a five-year-old. This item consists of scalding hot plates during and after use. The child could sustain mild to sever burns or other injuries if he or she should accidentally touch the plates or mishandle the appliance.

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

Hi Brenda, my son is 5 1/2 and has played with this for about 2 years now I believe. It is still in good shape and I think it would be great for a 5 y.o.

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.

No I would say this would be better for ages 1 to 5. And it would have to be a small 5 year old.

I've seen a 5 year old use it. It was kind of difficult for him but not too bad.
