can a 6 year old fire it

They could pull the trigger, but they wouldn't be able to cock it or load it. (I would suggest giving the thematic zombie pistol instead.)

Absolutely. He and everyone else best have protective eye gear on though. This is one of the most powerful NERF guns we have ever seen.

I think a 6-year old could probably fire it, but might have trouble pumping it back. It isn't a super heavy pull, but it's stronger than most pumps.

No my daughter is six when we got it for her at Christmas. She will grow into it.

Yes, my grandson has been useing it almost every day since he was 6 months old. He loves it. He is not 16 months old.

Yes, I think it might be too short for a 6-year-old. I have a three-year-old and although she loves it, I can see that she is starting to grow a little tall for it. I have seen taller kitchens available, so going that route might be safer. :)

It's really easy to fire. I bought it for my 5 year old godson. He loves it!

Yes. If your kid is apt to swallow things, I would perhaps take away the flames until he or she is older... but I bought an earlier version for my friends' oldest child (now 13) and his younger siblings played with it from the beginning - and it is always in their Hanukkah pictures :)

It worked perfectly for my 7 year old so I would think it would work well for a 6 year old too. :-D

I purchased it for my two year old and she is scared of it. I don't think 6 is too old.

The five year old we bought it for was able to shoot it decently within one day. It will not go as far someone older and stronger and with time and use the string will loosen even more.

Yes. It requires very little effort. My six and seven year old use it without issue.

My seven year old does well with this bow and the pull isn't to hard. I think this bow would be great for 6-9yrs of age.

not at all. I bought one for Christmas for child who begged for it when she saw it in the store.. She just turned 10, so sure your 6 year old will love it.

It is fine for a 6 year old, but she might get board of it after a while of using it. I think she would love it.

My five year old can use it with my help. He hasn't developed the fine motor skills needed to keep the gear teeth meshed, and often skips a few teeth, leading to some frustration.It's hard to say if at 6 years old one could master it completely- that depends on each child's development. But with a little practice maybe they could do it.

I believe so. My six year old has no problems. It may be frustrating to a five year old getting the timing of the snap right in order to catch the ball.

I'd say no even though I really like this airgun. I don't think it's the best starter for a kid that young. Maybe you're ok with something this powerful but even then there are others that are lighter and easier to cock. I know the Crossman Nitro is much easier to handle. I'm sure there are others but my friend has a Nitro and if I had to pick one for a kid it would be that one over mine. Either way, I'm assuming you know this isn't the same as handing a kid a bb gun. This can do some damage even at a pretty long range.

Theoretically, it should be fairly robust. However, depending if a six-year-old has a tendency to play rough with the train, I would recommend some fair level of supervision, especially when it comes to the locomotive (which has moving parts) and the tinder car (which has the batteries). Other than that, the train is safe to play with.
