is 5 years too young

No, it's on the cusp. Our kindergarten grandson understood & enjoyed playing the game. If you enjoy playing it--he or she will want to join in. Play together & enjoy!

Hi, All ages love this game. Five year olds are a little young, but they differ in concentration and maturity. My suggestion would be that the five year old be allowed to be on a team with one of the grownups the first time they try to play. You should explain to them that this is a grown up game so that they won't feel frustrated if they can't play. EnjoyMorah Judy

While a 5 year old may not be able to play the game independently, it's great to expose a child that age to that kind of spatial reasoning. My 5 year old granddaughter "partners" up with one of us and loves it!

It depends. If they enjoy puzzles or chess-style games then no. Otherwise I would wait as it does require planning your moves.

It depends on the child. My grandson and I have played since he was quite little. Also depends on how many hints you want to give.

I don't think 5 years is too young. It depends on your child, but I would give it a try. You can always change the rules a bit. :)

S/he won't understand how to think several moves ahead, but will love the design and moving on the path.

I have a daughter who just turned 5 and its comfortable for her. It's probably right in between kids and adult size.

It's a great stroller, but I think it would be a stretch for your 5-year-old. I had this stroller until my 39 lbs, 43 in 4-year-old just seemed too big & the straps were becoming problematic and too tight (mainly the crotch strap just seemed very short). It probably depends on the torso/leg proportions of the particular kid. I'd suggest trying it out (even just trying a single BOB stroller on the 5-year-old) in person before forking over the moolah. Good luck!

This would be too hard for a five year old. My son got it when he was 11. It takes a lot of effort to rock the board, then you have tobalance and stop, some adults had a hard time.

I think it may be a little young for a 5 year old. I got this for my year old grand daughter because everything else seemed like 3 years and older.

In my opinion, the average child that age would only be able to use a few of the features. The manufacturer suggests ages 6 and up, but I would say it would be more worthwhile for even a slightly older child like 7. A 5-6 year old would surely enjoy it, just probably not use all of the features.

I think it would be a bit much for your 5 year old grandson, it has been quite a learning curve for me and challenging. it is also quite fragile. hope this helps.

Most definitely. I would think that's the perfect age. I have two and my granddaughter is only 16 months. Hardly old enough to hand them to her as a toy. But she giggles at them when I hold her on my lap and we play with them. She definitely has it figured out how to feed the little guys!EDITED: to say: After reading the comment left by CandaceMacan24 , I may agree that 5 and above may even be a better age group than 4 - she makes some good points. Depends on the kid. As a side note, My 16 month old GD isn't scared by it.

It really depends on the dexterity of the 5 year old. It takes a certain amount of coordination to hold the pen and follow the path of the cog inside the wheel. If the child becomes frustrated with pen and paper tasks, this might be too much for him/her. If not then go for it.

No I would say this would be better for ages 1 to 5. And it would have to be a small 5 year old.

It works best for ages 2-4. Smaller children may not be able to have the gross motor skills to ride and 5 year olds can ride 2 wheel bikes.

I think a five year old would not be too interested in this item. It's more for a younger child. A more interactive item might be better.tive

I think it depends on the child. Our daughter was 6 when we got hers, but I'm sure she would have been fine earlier. I agree with the other response, not sure I'd go much below 4 years.

Hi Asheka, Absolutely it can be used for a 5yr old. That's good parenting; get them aligned with a healthy and organic consciousness at an early age. It's the best product I've found thus far...

I would say a five-year-old is too old for this toy. More like a two-year-old.

Yes it would be good for a 5 year old. We have both the original and the Junior. Our 6 year loves the junior! She could have easily played it at 5. I hope you enjoy!

yes this is safe for a 5 year old. If your five year old can ride a bike he should not have a problem with this scooter . This is a good fun toy. Not a great means of transportation. My son age 10 could not keep up on our bike rides.
