is this scooter too small for a five year old

I think initially no, but I think she might outgrow it in a year so you might be better off getting something a little taller that she could grow into, my niece is 6 (a petite 6) and she uses it but looks like she could handle or be more comfortable on a bigger one. Hope this helps!

I definitely think so. It is smaller and geared toward a younger child. I got this for our 2 1/2 year old and it's perfect for her. We got a razor for our 5 year old and it's great for him.

I guess it would depend on how tall the 5-year-old is. My 2-1/2 year-old granddaughter got right on hers and did pretty good with it although it was just a bit tall for her (she is very petite for a 2-year-old). So, I guess, it would depend on how tall/big the child is. My grandsons got on a regular scooter (a razor) when they were 4 and 5 and that worked very well for them.

No...my daughter will be 5 in feb and is very tall for her age and she loves it.

Yes. Our 3 year old used it. She is almost 4 and has moved up to the ones with 2 wheels.

My daughter just turned 4 and she rides it pretty well, so I think it should work really well for a 5 year old.

It would probably be too small for a 5 year old. Our granddaughter started using it at 18 months old.

Hello, I think it just might depend on the size of the person that you are purchasing this for. If it it is for a smaller child, then perhaps it might be. My son is not that tall however. He is about 5'0" and he LOVES it. Kids are so quick to adapt and agile, they learn to ride equipment so fast. My son quickly learned to ride the Sbyke because he had a normal scooter first. So that helped. I hope this answers your question. Overall, my son loved this product and I had no regrets when "Santa" delivered it to our house for CHristmas :-) -- Blessings, Mellie

no its not, but I do have three grandchildren with this scooter and their ages and heights vary.

This is a cute and strong little scooter but I bought it for my 3 year old. And he doesn't put it through a lot. So it will depend how active your little girl is. I would say this is a beginner scooter.

Honestly I'm not sure but it would be too small for a 5 year old. It's not very big.

Yes, but it is not very tall. I bought it for my 14 year old and he has size 9 feet and both feet don't fit on the scooter at the same time. Also the stick with the handles is not very tall. He is 5'9" and he has to bend over to hold the handle bars.

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

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.

My daughter is 5 and she's about 42 inches in height...it's kind of too small for her but she needs a three wheel scooter so it works for her for now.

My 11 year old daughter (who is about 5'2") and her 12 year old friend both have this scooter and they fit just fine. They have both had them for over a year and have used them extensively and they still work great. I think they will get at least another year or two of use out of them.

This is a really solid bike, and we've impressed with it's durability. However, my son is 4 and the bike is just a little on the small side for him. If you have a 5 year old, I would suggest finding the same bike in a slightly larger size.

I bought this scooter for my 5 year old grandson. He loves it and handles it very well.

My son is almost three now, and started fighting for it with his older brother half a year ago. Perhaps four months ago the older brother got a larger scooter(from same company), and the mini kick is now his. So I think he can usefrom age two-and-a-half.

Yes. Scooter is great for smaller child. My daughter is 3 and she scoots on it easily. Seems to be a stable product.
