Is it suitable for a 5 yr old?

I was never able to get it installed and working on my computer and my computer is not very old. I would not suggest buying this.

It might be a little tricky for a 5 year old. I'm guessing this would be better for a child around 7-8 years old. That being said this is a pretty old game and we experienced problems with it on a newer (2004 iMac). Not sure if the same would apply for a windows PC but when we purchased it it was a "universal" powerpc binary and the windows version was for windows 95.

I would depend how computer savvy and independent this child is. MY 6 1/2 yr old (at the time) grandson figured it out on his own--but it took a while, and he is pretty smart. But once he got going, there was no stopping him. He loves it.

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

I don't think 5 years is too young. It depends on your child, but I would give it a try. You can always change the rules a bit. :)

Yes. I bought one for my 9 yr old. And just order 2 more for a 6 & 7 yr Olds. Not recommended for under 5. I would say. :-)

The camera is probably tough enough for a careful five year old, and simple enough to use. The automatic mode takes pretty good pictures, so most of the more advanced features will not be used. The picture capacity is pretty small unless you add some memory (the cards are not expensive anymore).

Yes, I think a 5 yr old would like it. It was bigger then I thought it was going to be. The unit we have measures 4' 9" at the highest point and its 4' wide and 4' 9" long. It is easy to build and tear down quickly.

It may be a bit young for a five year old- it doesn't have a ton of features (just a few phrases the jet says) but if the child already likes Wonder Woman, he or she may enjoy this toy--- you can also find more Wonder Woman and female superhero toys at mightygirl.com- that's where I found this. Maybe they'll have some WW stuff for your 5 year old

I think 5 year olds are pretty hip these days and could handle this. But my 20 year old grandson seemed to enjoy playing with the crank part. Kids will be kids. No guarantee your child won't use it as a toy.

Nope.... Its not that impressive...it's ok for a little one but not a serious 5 year old ;)

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

I would say yes. I bought it for my almost 3yr old who is now 5 and he has out grown it. each child is different though.

If the 5 year old can grasp the concept of how a two way radio works then yes. These two way radios are not complex at all in my opinion. Also, I highly suggest rechargeable batteries.

Absolutely - yes, I would give it to a 3.5 year old... the one I bought was for my 4 year old niece (on her birthday), but I would've had no problem giving it to her 6 months prior.

not sure about 5 y.o. but i got it for my 2 y.o. son a year ago and he's 3 now and it is just perfect size for him then and now.

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.

My daughter is almost three and its a good size with plenty of room to grow. I think it will be ok for your 5 yr old too.

Yes, I think a 5 year old could put this together just fine (with a little help). The pieces are larger than the standard LEGOS. My granddaughter loves it.
