Would this be appropriate for my 6 year old son? a 5.5 foot pole seems a bit long for a kid

I have 2 five year old grandchildren (a boy and a girl) and each of them have no problem casting and landing fish with this size pole. I bought 4 sets of the Zebco Spincast outfit and all of them are still working after an entire year of sharing amongest our 6 grandchildren.

my grandson is 7 and it works great for him and he is not exactly an Nba propect in height

My son used this pole at 6.5 years old and handled it very well. After a short practice session, he was casting like a pro!

We purchased it for my 4 and 6 year old and they were fine. It may be a tad long but they managed all right with it.

I have it to my grandson for his 3rd birthday & he absolutely loved it! I think your 6 y.o. son will truly enjoy it. Very nice set!

Yes, I think with a little guidance he would be just fine. My brother and I started teaching my nephew how to use the rod and reel. While casting it was a little bit beyond him at this stage (he is not quite 4), he was able to hold it, and watch for the bobber to go under, and to reel in a few fish.

I would say too tall. I am 5'2" and I barely fit. Not sure how old your son is but I would add that this is designed for early elementary age children.

Hi, yes, in my opinion, your six year old should be able to comfortably ride this. My granddaughter is 5 and though I don't know her exact height at this moment, we put the movable seat to the first holes(there are two more seat adjustments to make it fit a taller child). I hope this information helps. :)

If the 6 year old was careful, it would work. This is a wonderful toy for outside and inside fun.

I think it may be a bit short. My 8 year old uses it, but she's only about 4 feet tall.

Of course. It really depends on the interests of the child. If the 6-year old likes building things he'll have fun with this. My husband who is way older than 6 is the one who wanted to buy this!

my son is 4 and average in height. its perfect for him. we can even lift the chair another inch now that he gained confidence.the bike is a little bigger than other brands I saw. Also I know you can buy a chair with longer pole. that might do.so, it depends on your kid's height. 5 is probably the maximum age for it. 6 is definitely too big.you can check also the bigger model.good luck!

I don't believe weight will be an issue. The question will be can your 6 year old pump the water out effectively. It does require some strength to do so but I think a 6 year old would be fine.

I'm not sure how big your five year old is but it seems like it might be small. I use this for my 2 year old and his sister who is 10 mos.

I think it should be fine. Worst case, he will grow into it. My son is 6 and he is tall (about 4 ft 2 inches), but he has to bend his legs to fit. It is really best for 3-5 year olds.

I have twin 5 year old boys, they are not 5ft tall but this bouncer is a lot bigger than it's pictured here. My niece is 10 years old and she loved jumping in the bouncer, I personally don't think there will be any problem with you purchasing it.

I would say yes. My 15 month old is almost the perfect size for it. He's not big, he's average sized, so I would think a 6-year old would tower over it.

I guess it would depend on how much strength the 5 year old has. I bought it for my grandsons who are 9 and 11. They didn't have a hard time with it.

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

Yes, I think it might be too short for a 6-year-old. I have a three-year-old and although she loves it, I can see that she is starting to grow a little tall for it. I have seen taller kitchens available, so going that route might be safer. :)

I think that it would definitely be too big for a 6 yr old. The bottom part is stiff and will keep your arm immobile if it is tight enough.

It would work for a six year old but they may think its a little babyish. I would say more 2-5. It's made real bulky to stand up to a little one.
