Hello, we bought this for our 2 year old who is approx. 27lbs. It fits him pretty good, he still has plenty of room to grow in it. As for a 5 year old...it depends on how big the child is I think. How tall they are etc..A lot of the ride on toys say they are up to age of 6 but it is really hard to say because every child is different in size.. My son is 34 inches tall and touches the pedal already but has plenty of more room in for the next few years before he will be too big for it. A 5 yr old may only get to ride it for a year before they are too big. I hope this helps. As for the product itself though, it exceeded our expectations on quality and was well worth every penny!

I got it for my daughter when she was about 18 months. She's nearly two now and still plays with it. I'm guessing she will get tired of it by the time she is three.

Yes. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old. My youngest has been playing with it since he turned 1. It started out a little tall for him, but that didn't keep him from wanting to play with it. Now he is plenty tall enough to play with it (and he is not "of the charts" tall or anything).

It's actually funny...I don't really know. I never did figure it out. When my son turned 4 months am started banging the toy he changed the tune. I tried banging it myself, nothing but the same music came on. I hand the toy back and he bangs it and the music changed. I'd ask him but he doesn't talk yet...Sorry I'm no help. My sons keeping it a secret. He's 1 now, hopefully someone else can help.

I have a three year old. We got it when he was 2.5. A younger child could probably use some pieces of it. The zipper and velcro are easiest and I suspect even many 1 year olds could use them. There are still a few things my son cannot do (like tying shoes), but that's why we got it, to grow with him. I'd guess 1.5-4 would be a great age for this toy.

My son is 10 months now and he still loves it! I think it gets played with more now than when he was younger. I don't think it's too young at all.

I bought this for my son when he was 1 an now he is 3, he still enjoys it but now he pulls the toy to his dirt pile, doesn't really pedal with it anymore. If I was hunting for a CAT digger, I might try something else. The older kids (ages 4-9) in our neighborhood really like just the backhoe with the seat on the back....I hope that helps

Depends on the child. Ours was for a 4 year old boy and he loved it, he doesn't play with it as much now at age 6.

My grandson is only 18 months old, but he enjoys playing with it. I can imagine this will be a good toy for up to 24-36 months old.

My son is now 20lbs and 8 months old. He still loves this toy. I've had it since he was 4 months old. I bet my son will be walking before his 1st birthday and might be tired of it by then. I do recommend this toy if he is 23lbs. He'll love it!

It will be a bit big for a 20 month old but it fit my daughter pretty well when she was about 2.5 years old. And my son's fits now and he is 27 months but he has a pretty big head. It still fits my daughter at age 5! You just dial the band tighter in the back when they are little, loosen as they grow. We have the same helmet (different colors) for both kids. Love them.

I actually bought this toy, for my 3 year old. He loves it! But he also is playing with his 6 year old brother. I think it just depends upon your child and what his interests and likes are. But I would buy it again for my 3 year old.

Manufacturer recommended age: 36 months - 15 yearsBut I bought for my kids when they were about 2.5 years, so that would be about 27-28 months, a little younger than what they recommend - this might be because there are small parts - "Screws" which a child maybe could swallow; my kids didn't put the toys in their mouths, you probably could take the smaller parts away and just let them play with the larger tools - hammer, wrench, screw-driver etc... They kids love this toy.I dont know what the manufacturer is talking about up to 15 years, must be a standard thing, I cannot see a kids playing with this beyond 5 or 6 years old.

My son is 3 years old and has played with it every day since Christmas day. He thinks he is a chef. I had bought pots, fake foods, plates and utensils for him to get the full use out of the kitchen. He seems to like it enough to play with it. He is tall and I thought this would be an issue but it's pretty perfect for him, no complaints at all. Good luck.

Hey, my opinion is between ages 3-8 is a good age ranage for this toy. My 3 year old son loved it but for older kids who like to pretend fixing stuff it will do just fine.

I bought it from Amazon and the recommended age listed was 1-5. I do not believe a 5 year old would be entertainedby this toy. More importantly, the toy did not stand up to a 2 year old! He loved it, but I will not replace it.
