Is this an appropriate "first kite" for my 4 year old? Is it easy to get up and fly?

It is easy to get up for me and my husband. Definitely not my four year old. Once we got it up he took reins and played for an hour or two

I can't say if this is an appropriate first kite for a 4 year old but I can say it's very easy to get off the ground and fly. I would say a 4 year old may need some help getting the kite to life off but very easy to keep flying once in the air.

It could be an appropriate first kite for your kid. The problem is, the kite will probably be bigger than the child. As long as you put the kite in the air yourself, your kid should be able to hold on to it at an appropriate distance with occasional help from you. He will certainly have the coolest kite among kids his age.

Hi. I just used only one time. There was a good wind in the lake and it is practical to fly alone. My Daughter has 7 year. It is good. In the same place near to us somebody tried to fly his kite and it never did.

Yes! My three year old can hold it by himself. (Not fly it by himself) It was so easy to fly and we get lots of compliments when we fly it.

I believe so. We helped him get the kite up and he held it and ran with it. I believe it is a more "appropriate" kite then the cheap plastic ones for kids.

It is very easy to fly in light to medium wind. I have never flown a kite before and was flying this one the second I released it. The tug on the string in medium breeze maybe a bit much for a 4 year old though. I would recommend close adult supervision.

Yes, it would be a good starter bow for you. My stepson is 11 and it's just a little bit hard to pull for him.

I'd say ideal for 1 year old with all pieces, but some pieces will need to be removed as kids get older in order for them to fit. My 4 year old likes to use it still, but only without the child restraints and the umbrella. (it is basically a trike with a parent handle at this point)

My son is 5 and he can fly it just fine. It took some practice with me supervising but this thing is so easy to fly that anybody can do it!

I would recommend this for 4 years old and up if playing it on the road. At home, as long as your child can talk, it should be fine

My 4 year old has shot it. Seems to be a really nice bow. If your youngster is small they may not be able to draw it very easily. My little girl is about 4 1/2 yrs and she is nearly 54" tall and 49lbs. She can draw fairly comfortably but some of my small 4-h kids that are couch potatoes are having trouble with it. For $40 they wont have to wait long if they cannot now.

My 7 yr old can fly it. But crashes it often. Likely won't last long as a child's you.

Responds well. Can be touchy. If you are a serious flyer, this may not be for you. It's great for my kids and hubby who are just beginning to get into flying.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I've had 2 kids (2 and 4) playing with it and we had no problems kids love it! And yes it's easy to use.

actually it's more like a toy. pulling strength is not enough to kitesurf or whatever. dvd is 5 minutes long and shows kite start and basic navigation rules. also it says that it could put you on your feet while sitting but it should be too windy to make this happen with b2.

Could be difficult to fly for an 8 year old if this is his first helicopter. As Colette stated it really depends upon the child. The is more difficult to fly than some of the toy grade helicopters. I would check out http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/helicopter-for-kids.html or the Syma S107 for an 8 year old

Yes it is. Easy to fly and resistant to impact. If you are doing this for the first time, like with any RC airplane, start with someone with experience next to you if you can. I'm teaching my 8 year old and he controls one stick and I the other with me taking over in "tight" situations. Altitude is also your friend since it give you time to correct a mistake.

It's light but it might be a little awkward or difficult for a 4 year old to be moving around the yard. It easily spins in a circle if a child wants to move it.

Yes, I would say it is very easy open for a 4 year old. It doesn't twist or screw. Only thing I would be sure is to show her how to push it closed tight otherwise it will fall open if dropped or turned on it's side.

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.
