Reviewers mention this for kids age 6 or below. I'm looking for a starter skateboard for an average sized 7 year old. Will this be too small?

No, my 10 year old uses it and she is quite tall. My five-year-old has trouble standing on it, but enjoys sitting on it and rolling down hills.

It's really not that much smaller than a normal board, only 3 inches shorter and not quite as wide. I don't think it would be a problem.

I bought this for my boys at 10, it's a nice guitar. Depending on what your plans are for your 6 year old they can grow into it as it's quality enough to last and is what the music instructor suggested to me for my boys. My twins are 10 and pretty small so it shouldn't be too bad size wise. If you are looking for more of a toy one this isn't it. My smaller twin was 50 inches tall and 48lbs if that helps all. Feel free to ask anything else you need, I know I needed it when I was looking.

I bought the tent for my 4 year granddaughter this past Christmas. She loves it and yes, it is big enough for a "small 7 year old." However, since it is not bolted to anything, it would not stand up to rigorous physical play for older children. If your child is tall, she may soon outgrow the height and would only be able to sit inside but not stand. Not sure I would purchase this particular one for an older child. Hope this info helps....

Our boys are 9 and 10 and they had not had a skateboard prior to owning one of these. In my opinion, It takes a lot of skill and balance. They were able to do it well after practicing daily for a week or so. We have the deluxe size.

I think this board would be appropriate. My child is around the same size & loves it. Her older male cousin is taller & heavier. He enjoys the board as well. He, of course, has a variety of other boards yet says this one is still fun.

My niece is 6 and still uses hers all the time. It is not a huge ball, but should still work for a 7 year old.

My daghter is 2 1/2 and its just a tad to tall so i fill it will be perfect in six months to a year it will be perfect. I think even for a small 7 yr old it would fit. Its still my favorite purchase this yr and my daughter loves it!

I bought it for my 12 year old, she said the wheels were not very good. For a smaller child I think it would be fine because the wheels don't turn super fast. For an older, or heavier child, I would go with something with better wheels. The board itself is nice though.

I bought several of these for my kids, nieces and nephews. At least for me, we got them for much smaller people than what you're asking.. the oldest child was 7 years old. For the older kids - the 9-11 year olds. I got a larger version. These older kids are probably all less than 100 pounds and shorter than 5 ft. I used the larger one and felt comfortable with it - I'm 5'9" and much more than 100 pounds. The Lil Sioux was managed well by kids ages 3-7, and roughly 30-50 pounds in size, definitely under 5 ft, probably closer to 3-4 ft in height. You might want to look at guidelines on choosing a size for your height and weight needs; you could ask a Pro shop or just search on-line for tips.

I think it might be a little small for a 7 year old. But I beleive kid kraft makes a larger version of this table which I am sure would be great!

My 11-year-old had no skateboarding experience, and he mastered it in a matter of minutes. If your child is well coordinated, it should be fine but keep a close eye out at the beginning!

This is a great board for the price. However, I would recommend that she start on a larger board. It's much easier for first-timers to learn on larger boards. My 7 and 10 year old had fun trying to get on it, but I quickly realized it was too small for a beginner,

It is good for beginners. My 13 year old uses it and his only experience on a board prior was a penny board. He rides it around the neighborhood a lot and it hasn't shown any signs of wear or cracking.

This is not a smaller size skateboard. It is "regular" size. My grand daughter got it for her 7th birthday. With some practice it will be fine!

My kids are 10 and 12 and they play well on it. I would think this is good fit for kids 6 and over.

It is definitely for smaller kids. Probably best suited for kids 2-5, but if you have a tall 5 year old they would probably be disappointed.

I think it is geared more towards smaller kids but I think 6/7 year olds will still enjoy them if they like music at all. Symbals rarely get old, tamborines are always fun. With the low price on the set I think it would be worth the risk.
