I'm thinking of purchasing this for my very tall 3 and 5 year old boys (they are more the size of a 5 and 7 year old) but I worry that it is too small and they will outgrow it rather quickly.

I find this product pretty high. When my 4 year olds want to play on it I need to help them get on it as they cannot reach the higher side.The issue for your 3 and 5 year boys might be weight distribution, having the 5 year old controlling the up and down movements.Eventually kids today outgrow almost anything rather quickly. My kids after almost two months still likes to play on it but not on a daily basis.

I purchased it for 2 and 4 years old grandchildren and it is dangerous for 2 year old! 4 year old loves it but with older friends. I'm thinkiing she will use it for several years! He is big and will grow into it.. It is extremely sturdy. Has a place for a lock so little ones can't use it. There's is kept locked for safety.It is perfect for older kids!

I think they would do just fine on it and it should last them awhile. I know of a tall 11 yr old that got on it with my 5&6 yr olds and it wasn't too small

I purchased this for my 7 year old and her friends. It's a great toy! it's sturdy and I know she will have many more years of use for it. Everyone who has seen it wants a ride on it, adults and teens included - lol I would buy another one in a second. I am putting it in our basement for the winter so that they can play with it all winter. I can't speak highly enough of it. One thing you may want to watch out for with little ones, it spins really easy, so you have to make sure they don't go too fast if there are little ones on it. I haven't figured out if or how you can just convert it to a teeter totter and make it not spin, if there is a little one who wants on.

My 9.5 year old (and his friends), my 8 year old, and my 4 year old all love this. An adult could ride it too. It's great because it spins around yet it can still go up and down making it great for kids I all ages. This was a better purchase than I had expected and it's a hit when kids come over.

I purchased this originally for my 2 year old, but I also have an 8 yo and a 6yo and they play on it quite a bit, along with other neighborhood kids who are aged 5 to 10.

My grandsons are three and five, also. While they, too, are tall, the younger one had a bit of a problem staying at the back of the seat. That dilemma lasted about two minutes and he figured out that if he braced himself with one foot, he was where he should be. This is a well-built, fun piece of equipment, and well worth the money. It is not small!

I purchased it for my 3 year old grand kids. They enjoy is very much but I figure in a year or two they will outgrow it.
1102999
we have a ten and twelve year old that still play on it. but it is mostly used by our five and six year old.

I would say no,even a very small 6 year old would outgrow this in no time. 2-3 years max age for this. don't waste money on this.

A good question. We have this set for our 3 yo, who's a bit short for his age. They say the set is good/adjustable up to age 11 or so, which may approximate your child's height now. So you may only get limited use from the set (i.e., less than 2 years) before it becomes too small. I would put the $ into an adjustable adult size set, particularly if your child's interest continues, it will be useable for much longer.

I purchased for my nephew; he was turning 7 and he loved it! My kids had a similar one at age 6. I think it depends on the child.

My son is seven. He is 62" tall. They fit him well with some room for growth. It looks like this set will serve him well for at least a few more years. I do not know how much bigger the next size up is, but maybe knowing the size of my son in relation to the size of your child can help you decide which size to purchase. It is a nice set. Good luck!

I think a five year old would still like it, since you can build an unlimited number of things. It is difficult for my 3 year old to put the objects together by himself, so a 4-6 year old would probably be the right age.

My son is 7. He is 4 ft 1 in, and it is cinched down to its smallest size. It works well for him, but it will probably work fie him for awhile. I would guess that he could grow a good 8 inches or so and still use this set.

I bought this for my 4 year old grandson and it seems to be age appropriate for him. I would not recommend any younger and would not go past 6. that's just my opinion. hope this helps.

I would say yes. I bought it for my almost 3yr old who is now 5 and he has out grown it. each child is different though.

I think it should be fine. Worst case, he will grow into it. My son is 6 and he is tall (about 4 ft 2 inches), but he has to bend his legs to fit. It is really best for 3-5 year olds.

Hello, we bought this for our 2 year old who is approx. 27lbs. It fits him pretty good, he still has plenty of room to grow in it. As for a 5 year old...it depends on how big the child is I think. How tall they are etc..A lot of the ride on toys say they are up to age of 6 but it is really hard to say because every child is different in size.. My son is 34 inches tall and touches the pedal already but has plenty of more room in for the next few years before he will be too big for it. A 5 yr old may only get to ride it for a year before they are too big. I hope this helps. As for the product itself though, it exceeded our expectations on quality and was well worth every penny!

Depends on your child, but my 7 1/2 year old boys don't play with them much anymore. You may want to consider something larger/more detailed for this age.

We bought two of these for our 2 1/2 year old twin boys for Christmas, and they love them. They are bigger than they look, and they go fast (I have to run to keep up with them). Unless your boy is tall for his age, I would recommend getting a smaller one or holding off 6 months or so for this big of a quad. My boys started riding smaller quads at 1 1/2 years old so they were used to them and ready for this size. Good luck!

Sorry to respond so late. I have a petite 6 year old and it is perfect. Besides you do want them to grow into it and not out of it.

It says up to age 8, but I think it depends how tall/big your son is. My friends 4 year old uses it. I think realistically it's good till age 5.

I would not purchase it for a child that size, but that's just my personal opinion. I purchased this item back in 2010 and have had many children on it and it's been a lot of fun. The 5 year old who is 40 something pounds and tall, is still enjoying it, but not for long.

Since you already have the dimensions, just thought I would mention that I find it the perfect size for a 2-4 year old, and still usable as children grow. My 9 year old also plays with it easily. If you look at my video in my review, you can see how tall is is compared to an almost 2 year old.
