is this suitable for a 5 year old

It can easily be used for a 5 year old. Our 7 year old granddaughter uses it all the time. The only problem we have with it is that the way the post sticks through the mat. Since we move it around a lot it is always droppin( the center rod. But that also makes it easy to store flat. So it's up to you what's important.

Yes very suitable. I purchased this to use at a group home for mentally challenged residents and they really enjoyed it. I feel it would also be appropriate for children and they would enjoy it also.

I imagine so. It rained the weekend we wanted to use it and have not had the chance since. sorry I am not much help.

The camera is probably tough enough for a careful five year old, and simple enough to use. The automatic mode takes pretty good pictures, so most of the more advanced features will not be used. The picture capacity is pretty small unless you add some memory (the cards are not expensive anymore).

Yes, I think a 5 yr old would like it. It was bigger then I thought it was going to be. The unit we have measures 4' 9" at the highest point and its 4' wide and 4' 9" long. It is easy to build and tear down quickly.

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 that it is a bit small for anaverage size 5 year old. It's sits very low to the ground. I bought it for my almost 2 year old and it is the perfect size for her.

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.

Yes, I would say that the weight would be OK for a five year old; It's pretty light. However, there are three settings, and an on/off switch on the other side of the device. I'm not sure a five year old would be able to operate the thing--unless someone spent time showing them how.

It is perfect size for my 2 year old. I think it would be ok fit up to a 5 year old. Probably not much older.

It is definitely for smaller kids. Probably best suited for kids 2-5, but if you have a tall 5 year old they would probably be disappointed.

You know, I think that it might be okay for a 5 year old. I really loved them and so did the twins who are almost 3yrs. My other grandchildren were visiting and played with them too and they are girls 5 and 7.

My son is 2 and he operates it just fine I wouldn't buy it for a 5 yr old unless they're small.

I'm not sure how big your five year old is but it seems like it might be small. I use this for my 2 year old and his sister who is 10 mos.

I think it's definitely appropriate for a 5 year old. We got it for my 3 year old son, who absolutely loves it. The seat is adjustable and can move back to fit older children. Even if children have bicycles (with or without training wheels), they will love the Big Flyer because it is a different experience and ride compared to a bike like Nana said. I agree with Deb too, kids can go as fast as they can pedal and stop just as easily -- That's half the fun. Hope this helps.

No it is too small for a 5 yr old. it is long enough but we don't think it could handle the weight.

Yes, the one I received is a durable material. It should be fine for a 5 year old :-)

I think it would be great. Our 5 yo is shorter than average, and it's a bit big for her. She manages to ride it, but I think it will serve her to age 7 at least

Hmmm... Maybe? My son is now 5 and he likes to play with it still, but not often. I would say that it'll be fun for any child until they can master the directions and tools on their own. If your 5-year-old likes to put together Legos on his own, he could have some time left with this toy!
