my grandson is 5 and a half. Is this sword appropriate for him?

If your grandson is active and likes adventures then yes but if he is wild I suggest no. I got the swords for my wife's nephews and they played with each other. I don't know if your grandson has friends that play with nerf but if they do and your grandson already have nerf products, it would be addition to his collection.

That really depends more on him and whether he's going to know better than to wave it around in the house. However, it is well-padded and highly unlikely to do any permanent damage in a swordfight with a friend.

Yes my grandson turned six in October and he absolutely loves it and has a four year old sister Love the nerf toys nobody gets hurts and the kids just love it!

The swords are kind of large. I think they are great for kids of about 8 to 12. Even older kids can play with them. They are light, and with proper control (meaning being able to swing without going wild), they are strong and safe enough. The foam is pretty good but the core is probably just plastic. It could break if someone hits too hard (though most kids probably aren't strong enough). The biggest problem I see for you is whether or not the child will break things nearby. As I said, the swords are long and light. If the child swings too wildly, a lot of damage coud occur. At my house, I try to get the kids to play outside when they have these in their hands. Hope this helps. The swords are kind of large. I think they are great for kids of about 8 to 12. Even older kids can play with them.

My 4 year old nephew loved it this past weekend, I believe the tractor holds up to 100 pounds so the 5 year old should be fine, but maybe a little squished height wise.

We are comfortable with our 3 and 5 year olds using it too. It's a great knife.

I think it should be fine. Worst case, he will grow into it. My son is 6 and he is tall (about 4 ft 2 inches), but he has to bend his legs to fit. It is really best for 3-5 year olds.

It's a little difficult to pull back initially, but does loosen up after awhile. I think it would be all right for your grandson, at least he would be able to work with it for a few years to see if he likes it.

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.

My son is 5 and it comes to his shoulders. He can play with it with my 2-year-old, but it is much better suited to her size.

It is not. But I'm sure he will be ok until he is tall enought. I got it for my 2 year old and she was little but used it no problem.

It will be ok for him. My daughter is 5'5", and it isn't too big. Look up some videos on YouTube.

My grandson is 6 yrs old and it's perfect...I guess with help a little younger would be okay . He loves it!!!!

Yes, I think it is ok for a child of that range. My nephews are within that range and they have used it comfortably. The weigh, I am not exactly sure of, but it is on the light side, like I would say 4 lbs or less, my estimate.

I bought it for my grandson, who is 6. It would be fine for an older player, too.

Hi Brenda, my son is 5 1/2 and has played with this for about 2 years now I believe. It is still in good shape and I think it would be great for a 5 y.o.

Probably want to go with something more advance for that age, maybe something with peddals. I would say this bike is geared more toward 2.5 - 5 year olds.

It is but as your grandson grows by the age of 7 or 8 it will be too small for him.

my 4 year old grandson loves it but I personally feel like a 5 year old would be able to play with it better than a 4 year old.

My grandson is almost 21 months old. I purchased it for him and he is not quite big enough. But he loves it and walks it around my backyard every time he comes over. He is only average in height, so your child will probably be fine with it right now. It is a wonderful bike. We love the quality. Hope that helps.
