No. This is a full size desk and hutch for adults. I would not purchase for a child.

Our grandson is 2 and 35". He fits great with lots of room to spare, and usually has two smallish dogs in there with him. I think it would still be comfortable to a five year old at your suggested weight and height. Kids usually curl up in bean bag style furniture anyway, so weight and height might not be that much of an issue.

It would not be an issue. I am only 5.4 and it works great! My younger nephews that are shorter than me use it too and it works like a charm for them.

My son is 2 and he operates it just fine I wouldn't buy it for a 5 yr old unless they're small.

This item will work for ages 5-75. I bought it for my grandson who is 5 and everyone in the family loves it. Sorry it took me so long to answer.

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.

Hi Karla, since "small" is a subjective word I can only offer the following comments/info for your consideration: the truck specs indicate the age range is from 1-5 years, and though my 1 year old grandson did fit into it, I would say that a 5 year old could have problems in that regard. Beyond the size question though, my question is how rough does your son like to play? The construction of the truck does not provide much safety in the case of overturning, so 100% hands-on supervision is required to ensure the safety of the child. Hope this helps.

Not sure what age span they recommend, but I think if he is a small 7 year old maybe? My 2 and 5 year old love it, but I think by 7 or 8 they would be too big. My 5 year old is tall and weighs 51 lbs. and can still ride it, but not as easily as my smaller child. Hope this helps a little. I personally would not buy for a 7 year old.

I bought this for my two-year old, and it's a little too big for her. I have to help her onto the chair and then push her chair in because her feet don't touch the ground yet. If your 5-year old is on the small side, it may be perfect for him.

I would'nt use it for a child. I don' t think it would be confortable the way it is made. I would want something made more sturdy for a child. Hope this has been helpful. For a small dog they are perfect.

Possibly with adult supervision. It's small but still has weight to it so I'm not sure how effective a 5 year old would be with it. Then again, only you know how advanced your child is.

Although it says up to five years old, the child would be limited in his or her use of it if they are an average size. For me I would not buy it .

It may be too small for a five year old. Our granddaughter is two and she enjoys it. She will probably still fit in it at three or four.

It's perfect for 3-5, he may be too big for it. Plus it does not do very fast but is nice for a toddler.

I bought it for a 5 year old and it wasn't a one size fits all. It does have those adjustment straps that are the same as snap backs on baseball hats. I wouldn't recommend it for under 5. The boy's 3 year old brother loves it, but even at the tightest it goes, he still has to hold it on. It probably wouldn't fit a full grown adult comfortably.

I have a small three and five year old. Its perfect for the three year old, and the five year old is a little tall, but makes it work. :)

I would say this is NOT for an average sized 5 yr old child. I bought it for my 3 year old (36lb) granddaughter and it's just the right size for her! BTW, she loves it!
