Would this work on a 5-year-old? She plays outside in the heat at recess and complains of the heat.

I ordered this as a way to stay cool on bike rides. I followed the instructions prior to freezing and it is just stiff as a board and is useless.

I don't think so - I was kind of disappointed after using it from 2 angles: 1) it is skinny, 2) it doesn't get very cold. I probably had higher expectations for it but it doesn't hold up to what I need for the Florida sun doing walks.

I love this product for me I believe this could work safely for a 5 year old but my concerns are will it fit you would have to make the length shorter

It definitely helped keep me cool. I tied it around my neck for 3 weeks in Vietnam, and it made the crazy heat bearable. I agree with Sandy, it's probably too big for a little kid's neck. Can also be worn as a headband, but someone would have to tie it for her.

I think it works well for me as far as keeping me cooler. We are talking major hot flashes and this helps me feel in control. I like this one because there are no beads inside so she could just but it under tap water for a while till it gets wet then put it on. This is my favorite of the few I tried.

Because of the bulk of the material that makes it cool, you might have difficulty tying it on such a tiny neck to get it close enough to her skin to actually be effective. Someone should make this in children's sizes, because it works!

It would be fine for 5 year old. It can be worn around the neck loosely too. I would worry about choking though. I bought chilling towels that can be draped around neck or just pat the face, neck & chest to cool.

Yes. As long as the liquid is not too hot. Then a teacher can help once in awhile.My 5 yo can do it.

My daughter has oily skin and has been using it, but I have to say that she's been using it since the weather got colder and her skin dryer. I don't think she would use it in the summer when she gets all sweaty.

It will do. It will do better for a 4 year old. By the time s/he turns 5 it will probably be way too small.

My daughter is always warm. It's summer right now in Chicago and she loves her seat! We cool down the car before she gets in when we can but she's never complained or come out of the seat sweaty.

Yes, my daughter is 2.5yrs and 20lbs and this made a HUGE difference in her being warm enough for indoor 30min swim and plus longer. She doesn't complain about being too hot, even after a quick dip in the "hot" tub after class.

I have a very tall 5 year old and she has to bend down to use it. It probably is too small but if your 6 yr old is short it might work.

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm. The heat may even irritate the area.

No, it would be frustrating and could not be handled by a five year old. This is something for someone much older. Wait about 12-13 years.

Maybe. There's plenty of ventilation, so air should circulate and if the car was cool, she'd get that benefit. My biggest concern would be that it wouldn't suit her for a long trip. She'd have to lay down and it might be a little small for an extended time. Plus, it might be hard to get her in and out of it. It's only about two feet high and two feet wide.

I think that it should, though it might be a little bulky and get on your child's nerves...or they would just get used to it!

I would not...the water is what moves the child down the slide, I'm afraid dry it would not work too well.

We bought it for our 2 year old and she is still a little but too small an uncoordinated to use it well. She is very small for her age. I think it will be perfect for her at 3-5 years old. It is adjustable so it should work for several years.

Yes, however I'd use it at 300 Degrees because kids hair is a little more susceptible to damage, it's thinner in most kids. That said, because this iron gets VERY hot I would not let her use it without supervision. It's very easy to burn yourself or random objects in the bathroom if not paying attention. :-)

we bought for a 5 year old and it was just for a project. Not even sure if they will put it outside. sorry.

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.

I think so. I got it for my 10 year old and it allows for setting the drum pads at any height and spacing. I'm sure it would be fine for a 5 year old. Plug it into a small practice amp or some ear buds and you're good to go.
