Our oldest is 8 and about 77 lbs and jumps on it. it will lead forward if he doesnt jump standing straight up. But he jumps on it daily...sometimes with the 2yo seating under him. I have jumped on it to and it did find. (although I wouldn't do that normally) It is very solid and a great buy. Well worth the money and has helped our SPD son alot.

My son was about 12 years old and 4'6 when I got this for him for Xmas . It was ok. He played around with it for awhile but then i guess was too small.It really is for a smaller child 8-10 years old.

I guess it depends on how big he is. I bought it for a five year old and there's room to grow.

No its not to small. My grandson just turned 4 and is pretty tall and still has ample room to stand/play inside. The stickers do not stay on long due to weather conditions and if you live in a area where it gets windy, make sure you anchor it down. I have ours between houses and thought with its heavy weight I was ok. I have had to get someone to roll it back over 3 times already this year, because its to big for me to handle.

I have a 9 year old nephew and got another one for him. I think it would be appropriate for an 8 year old. May not last forever but with a few spare parts its probably a good choice.

He should have no problem. My nephew is in the same height range. He will also have some room to grow, just in case he needs it.

No it would not be too small. I bought it for my son for his guitar lesson and it is a little too big for him but for 5'4", it should be okay. My son is 8 years old.

Yes, I bought this for my 8 year old, same weight, and it is great. It appears to be sturdy and well made.

It may be a touch big for under 8, but it's adjustable, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.. We love it!

Honestly, my 4 year old uses it and he probably could have used it when he was 3 with no problems! May actually be too small for an 8 year old.

Absolutely not! My youngest is also 8 years old and he loves it! It's great fun for him.

Probably. It's appropriate for my almost 2-year old who is on the small side. Good luck!

Most definitely. My son is 2 and measures roughly 37inches in height. His heel doesn't touch the ground yet plus he doesn't sit fully on the seat. There is definitely some room for growth

This was the perfect size for my son on his third birthday. It probably is a bit small for a child that tall.

It sort of depends on the modelling talent of the 8 year old. If he/she is a typical one, I would say no unless you help by doing all the work. This model requires advanced modeling skills and I suspect would be a huge challenge for an 8 year old. Of course, you could buy it and stash it for 5 or 6 years. In the interim, look for a less complex model. There are several available so best to check a couple of stores (on-line or face to face). Good luck.Clyde

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