Would this board be too big for a 5 year old?

I cannot say for sure. What I can tell you that may help is my daughter who is 7 years old would like the same size board. As she has talked to some older girls who skate and I have asked the same question of skaters, the response we keep getting is that the really small boards are too hard to ride and balance on. I am going with this size board for her. Not sure if this helps. The Andy Mac board itself is an excellent quality board for the price.

I'm not sure about size, that is probably ok. It's a pretty standard sized deck, if size is a concern you could get a mini pr micro, but in my opinion, this is too much board for a 5year old.

Yes, it would be too big. I rode this board and I'm 170 pounds. Here's a site that lets you build a board for your kid: http://www.skatexs.com/It's definitely a much pricier option. If nothing else, this might give you an idea of what you should be looking for.

Hi K. Carone, Ummm, it depends on the size of the 5 yr old. But I don't think so. My boyfriend assists our 4 yr old with riding it. So I think it's fine.

Yes.I think it is way too big for a five-year-old. It is a big hit with my son whose average size and nine years old. But I suspect he'll be able to use the board for at least three years.

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.

Yea, I believe it would be.My 2 year old is big for his age, and there's growing room, I expect this table to last a few years. A 5 year old would love the Lego tabletop a lot, too.

I think he will be too big for this. My 2 year old grandbaby rides it fine, but her legs are long and she will outgrow it before too long. I think there are cozy coups that would work better for a 5 year old (there was a fire engine one at one point)..

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.

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

This would not work for a 5 year old. My grandson was 3 and an average size child and he fit on it fine, but it can't handle any kind of playing on it without popping.

Not sure if it's too small. My daughter is 5 and still enjoys riding it and she is tall for her age, she's probably as tall as most 1st graders.

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

For a 5 year old its border line. Borderline in that they might be too big for it. It's perfect for the preschool set. Look at some of the scooters that have two wheels instead of three. A five year old might be ready to balance on the two wheels.

I would say yes, it is a good beginner board. The wheels are tight, so it is not too loosey-goosey. When she advances in her skills, you can get the wheels adjusted. Enjoy!

The young lady that rides this board is about 130 lbs and 5'8" tall. She is a beginner and has done well. I would recommend that the rider take it to a board shop to get the trucks tuned up to fit their needs, this determines the speed, and control.

I bought it for my 12 year old, she said the wheels were not very good. For a smaller child I think it would be fine because the wheels don't turn super fast. For an older, or heavier child, I would go with something with better wheels. The board itself is nice though.

I can't help much. I got this Casio for my 14-year-old grandson who is somewhat bigger than your 5-year old. The height of the keyboard stand will be the limiting factor. Your 5 year old will have to both reach the keyboard and the pedals.

I think so. We were very happy with the purchase of this board for our 7 year old son. It is big for him, but he wanted a full size skateboard. I think this would be great for an 11 year old.

I would not buy it. My two year old granddaughter has trouble with it because her legs are a bit long.. I think 5 years old is just too big..

No, the board would be too small for him. I think is only five feet long. The obsidian website sells bigger boards but of course they're more expensive
