All the reviews i read are from those who purchase this item for kids younger than 3 years old. So i was wondering if it's big enough for a 5 year old? although i can see it's advertised good for up to 7 years old.

My 18 month old loves, loves, loves the couch - and I can see it lasting for her at least a few more years - but I wouldn't recommend it for a 5 year old. I don't think that it would offer much support if they try to lean back on it. Certainly not if they lean against the arms, as they already bend a little for my 18 month old.

I think it would be too small for a 5 year old. S/he would fit, but the sponge is thin and so at that size and weight it would not give good support .

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. :-)

I would say yes they are a great item for that age group just be sure to order an extra or two one of ours broke with in min or had a hole in it from the begining, but we still have a few around the house that have been going strong for a few months now so I think it may have just been a fluke with that one but be sure to have an extra one or two just in case as preschoolers are not going to understand it if they got the one in a hundred that is junk and there is no replacement.

I think this may be little too advanced for a 3 year old. It is a wonderful toy; very well made and amazing the way it moves and the sounds but I think I would wait until the child is about 6 years old. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy now.

I purchased this for my four year old. My twelve and nine year old play with him as does my two year old :) I would say it's best for 3-5 year olds.

I would not recommend this Furby Boom for a 5 yr old, as stated on package for ages 6 or 7+. Just because something is cute doesn't mean it is an appropriate toy for a child younger than he age recommended for. We as adults need to monitor our child's learning tools/play toys.

It is perfect for my 4 year old. her 8 year old sister also still uses it, but id say by next year she will have outgrown it. They have held up great and my girls love them. Hope that helps.

My Son was 3 years old. He enjoyed this. He also liked it for a while. But after that, just like any other toys, it is also not used much in these days. My 5 years old daughter also liked. But we thought it was a little small bike for her. I would have definitely recommnded for a <=4 year old kid. For 5 year old, this is not a big NO though.

I think a 7 year old girl may like it more than a 7 year old boy. My son loved it when he was younger but is 5 now and rarely plays with it.

I was hoping the same thing, however although it doesn't say so in the website description, the packaging clearly states it's only good up to 4 months. We found out the hard way, my son was nearly 4 months when we bought it so we couldn't use it. It was definitely too small for him.

Well I bought it for my grandson 2 years ago (he's was 6 at the time) and he stills uses it, but the only thing wrong with it is he said it was for little kids ( he's quite athletic) meaning it was to low for him. Hope this helps you out!!

I think it may be a little young for a 5 year old. I got this for my year old grand daughter because everything else seemed like 3 years and older.

I bought it for my younger grandchildren. My grandson instantly loved it, and he was about 15 months when I first bought it. My 2-year-old granddaughter likes it, too, but gets bored with it more quickly. It may a bit small for an average 3-year-old.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

My 7-year-olds are finding it just big enough. They are both about 4'2 or so. Depending on your child's height, it probably is too small.

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.

I would say its for kids 2 to maybe 5 (possibly 6). Definitely not older than that. 8 years old...that is ridiculous!
