Can I adjust this for a 4-5 year old to use in the kitchen as a helper?

Sort of. I have a kitchen helper and this keekaroo seat for my 5 year old. We keep pur keekaroo at the counter now and sometimes she uses it instead of her kitchen helper. If you want it to function more as a step than a seat, I suppos

4-5 year old can comfortably sit on it, but please notice that the chair is laqured so the surface is slippery. I would not suggest anyone to stand on it

I'm sorry but I don't have a definitive answer for you, as I guess it would depend on individual ability. If it helps any, my almost 4 year old grandson doesn't have a problem with handling this.

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.

The action required may be difficult for someone with sever hand arthritis but for a young toddler it would be difficult. My 34 month old granddaughter has not figured it out, although she does not try any more because the plastic knobs now symbolize "do not enter". I suggest that a preschooler, let's say 4 yo, could easily remove the knob cover, because by that age, they have the hand strength, coordination, and hand-size required.

It is small for a 5 year old, but my daughter (5) and son (2) play with it. You could always raise it up with furniture legs (for couches, made of wood, can get at hardware stores). We might do that in a little while.

I do have to say that I think this kitchen would be small for a five year old. Perhaps they make bigger ones made for the older kids:)

The shaft is adjustable down to 32 inches from grip to sensor. At the angle most people would use it, it should be suitable for kids.

I bought this for my two-year old, and it's a little too big for her. I have to help her onto the chair and then push her chair in because her feet don't touch the ground yet. If your 5-year old is on the small side, it may be perfect for him.

Yes, I believe a 4 year old could. The button isn't very hard to press and is fairly big. My son was 5 and had no problem.

I am wanting it for my 5 yr old in the kitchen. He weighs about 38lbs. Will it be sturdy enough for him?

Absolutely you can. Here's the kitchen aid video demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3rPY0Zob9Q

No, it would be frustrating and could not be handled by a five year old. This is something for someone much older. Wait about 12-13 years.

The stool is pretty stable but I'm not sure how it would adjust to the needs of a small child.

It's pretty adjustable. I imagine you could make it work fine for a 10-year old, say.

It could be helpful, I guess it would depend if your son's legs are long enough at the smallest setting. I have two children (7 and 5) and they play with it all the time but I never looked to see if their legs fit on the smallest setting.

I bought one for my 13 year old and she has no problem with using it. I would say a 5 year old might need supervision mainly on preparation of the cupcakes. The inside of the cupcake maker does get hot so taking them out your 5 year old might need assistance.

Even though it extends, it will depend on how tall they are. But I would not buy it for a 5 year old because it won't extend enough for them to keep using it in the next year.
