Could anyone tell me the age range for this car? Is it too small for an average 5 year old ?

It may be too small for a five year old. Our granddaughter is two and she enjoys it. She will probably still fit in it at three or four.

This car would work for a 5 year old. I bought for my granddaughter, she is two. With that said, the pedals are adjustable and will grow with her as she gets bigger. Its a well made car and will last for a very long time....its very cute!

My son uses it and he just turned 4. But he's a little big for his age. So 4-5 is a good range. Older and it may start getting too small for the to ride.

The car is much smaller than a typical hotwheels. He may fit but it won't be for very long. I purchased for my neice who is 16 months.

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.

I would say it's ok for kids up to four years old but too small for older kids. It's basically designed for toddlers but the motor is noisy and scares younger kids.

For those wondering about size, my 5 year old daughter rides it fine. Though a little shorter and it would be hard for her to ride. However she is a tall 5 year old (approx. 47") I would say anyone under 45" might be too short. And I don't see how many teenagers could ride it.

I think that it will be too small for a tall 5 year old. It moves pretty slow. (geared more for the smaller/younger girls). My little girl is 2, and she is not completely satisfied with the speed. Especially when she sees her older brother on his faster ride.

the car is meant more for a 2 to 4 year old. I bought the car for my 2 yr old boy. I have a 5 year old girl and she drives it but she wont be able to ride in it here in the next year.

I think they would quickly tire of it. I gave it to my 4 year old grandson. He liked it, but the car performed erratically. At times once it was past six feet or so it would not respond to commands. I checked all the contacts and they seemed in order. It got rather boring.

It took a little practice for my 10-yr old to fluently drive this car b/c it is really fast and turns on a dime. There is a slower setting that you can set while you learn to drive. I think an 8-yr old could get the hang of it after a short time, and would be the envy of neighborhood kids. The good part is that it's also a durable car, and the parts can be replaced inexpensively.

I think it is perfect for 3 or 4 year old. My son is 5 now. He want a fast one which the wheel made of rubber instead of plastic. So when he turn 5 . This one may not good for him.

Hi! I bought it for my son who is 3.5 years old and he loves this very much. If your child is into Hot Wheel Cars and other varieties of trucks and cars I can imagine he'd have a good bit of fun with this. All levels of the Rig adjust to lower and off load the cars, it's well made, fun, great for imagination. I can easily see at that age though - depending - that it could be an item easily grown out of. Each parent knows their child best. The toy as I said is fantastic-O though. Hope this helps. Maybe something like a remote controlled car or some of those larger monster Hot Wheels Trucks would be better suited if you find this isn't to your liking. Good luck shopping. :)

Your child will fit in the car no problem. Although the low speed might be a little slow for a five year old, the child will probably use the high speed gear more often than not.

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

No car is verty small. My 2 yr old rides in it and fits nicely. My 40 inch 4 yr old can drive it but his knees go past the dash board. He likes it but he drives a bigger battery operated car

I have a one year old and a five year old going in it with no problem. We all love this car!
