We purchased this for our 9 year old grandson. For a 5 year old I would suggest adult supervision.

Yes, but only under supervision. Buy the propeller protectors or make get a kit that includes them. I would possibly get him the cheaper tiny $40 protox to play around with, and there are prop protectors sold for those also. All quadcopters crash and small indoor ones crash more. The propellers break so buy extras.

It is a bit complicated for a 5 year old. It is difficult to control with the controller and takes lots of practice. I practiced in my family room and thought I had it down pretty good. I took it outside and it flew up into the sun, I lost sight of it and have not seen it again. I would not buy this for a 5 year old.

I think it would be a bit much for your 5 year old grandson, it has been quite a learning curve for me and challenging. it is also quite fragile. hope this helps.

I would say that the Hubsan 107C might be a better choice. I say this because this way you get the blade shroud to offer some protection from flying into walls and the sort. if the camera isn't all that important, you might think about the Syma 107G. This can be purchased for about $20 rather than $60. In any case, I do recommend Spare blades. It's great to get them started at an early age, this really is a fun hobby.

This one may be a little much for a 4 year old. I would go with a syma s107. It's sold on amazon. It's a lot easier to control.

In my opinion, the average child that age would only be able to use a few of the features. The manufacturer suggests ages 6 and up, but I would say it would be more worthwhile for even a slightly older child like 7. A 5-6 year old would surely enjoy it, just probably not use all of the features.

This would not work for a 5 year old. My grandson was 3 and an average size child and he fit on it fine, but it can't handle any kind of playing on it without popping.

Ordered for my 2yr. old grandson. He plays well with it, so maybe too young for 5 year old.

I believe that he would. My grandson who is now 16 mos old loves to play with his. My friend's 2 yr old enjoys his also. Plus it is a good learning toy.

Yes, I would say that the weight would be OK for a five year old; It's pretty light. However, there are three settings, and an on/off switch on the other side of the device. I'm not sure a five year old would be able to operate the thing--unless someone spent time showing them how.

It would definitely work for him! My oldest is over 60lbs and it works well for him. (In fact..I can jump on it at 115lbs without a problem!) It's fun...even for me!

We actually got it for my 6 yr olds birthday. It does take a bit of practice to handle. Another suggestion is the Animal Planet Teradactyl remote control flier if he is into dinosaurs.

My grandson was 2.5 when he got his and he had no problem with it after he was shown how it worked. Sadly the keyboard on his is defective. If I had to do it all over again, I would spend more money to get something that would last longer. He had the one I got him for only a couple of months before half the keys on the keyboard stopped working. Very frustrating for him.

Hi, yes it will work for great for a 5 year old and should for a 3 year old. It is easy to pull back, no problem and with nice soft darts if they tend to 'aim' at each other no one will get hurt, lol.

It depends on the size and age of the child. This one really worked the best for us, though our son is close to 2 yrs. Hope this helped

We bought these for our eight-year-old and 10-year-old grandsons. They would work with a five-year-old if he Had some technology skills. It's very easy to use and very very nice if you have a big property on which the kids can roam.

My nephew is now 15 months old has mastered this and now bored with it unless I sit down with him and engage him with it. If your grandson hasn't already mastered this type of motor skill task or you are reinforcing what he has already learned, then I believe it would be appropriate for him. If he loves to bang on things there is a drum set that is awesome and can be used in the tub. My nephew loves it!! ALEX Toys Rub a Dub Tub Tunes Water Drums

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

It would work but he will outgrow it quickly. My 4 year old plays with it. It is good quality.
