Would this be too advanced for children working on core strengthening? I'm thinking 5-6 years old?

With only a lower-size lift attachment (should be included with this model; mine was included)....do not usehigher attachment...Caveat for you and child, unit must be placed in doorway. Child must hold on with two hands to door frame first day of use ! Next dsy, one hand holding onto door frame.Next day try free hands on balance board.Repeat but watch for any pain esp. following days, these work muscles similar to, say, a hockey player! To hurry is not to care....be safe.

No i absolutely dont think it would be too advanced. The bottom circle that makes you have to balance is removable and a smaller circle is underneath so you can change the challenge aspect of it to make it a little safer. Also im sure your children could hold on to a chair at first to get used to the balancing part!of it and then be ok on their own:) its actually a lot of fun.

my daughter is doing front hip circles and kips. we have found it to be sturdy so far with only a mat underneath. so far she has been able to do all of her skills and some of the ones she is leanring for the level 4 and 5 routine. my daughter is 8.

Yes. It would be great for helping developmentally. There is a 44 pound weight limit. It is so fun that it is hard to keep the older children from riding it!

I don't think so. I bought it for a 7 year old and she can handle the tricks and instructions (with some adult help).Once she knew how the tricks the equipment is wonderful. It's a great product but I think it would be frustrating for a 4 year old.

Maybe but older would probably be better. I purchased for my five year old grandson and he could work it but his eight year old brother really liked it!

I would not recommend it for under 7 years old. Lots of small pieces and can be intricate to assemble.

I think most 2 year olds would be too short to use this and it may be hard for them to maneuver it. My just turned 4 year old has only had the hang of it for maybe 6 mo.

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

Yes, my 6-year old does high kips and circles with no problem. We did get the extended base legs and they do help. It's a great beginner's bar.

I think so. My 6 year old and 3 year old use them on our climbing wall. You can also make it more challenging based on the grip of each climbing hold. I have an easier section for my 3 year old and a harder section for my 6 year old.

I got this for an 8 yr old girl who is very athletic. It was very appropriate for her, and it's not one of those junky toys. I'd say it's too much for a 5 year old...they aren't as coordinated at that age. I did see several other archery sets on Amazon that would probably work for a 5 yr old...much simpler and easier to use.

My 9 year old daughter uses it primarily for extra conditioning outside the gym, but she also does basic level 3 & 4 skills on it and it is stable. For higher level skills with more power or a heavier gymnast, you'd probably need to stabilize it a little more.

It might be a little young to manipulate all the pieces without breaking them. If the child is very aware of how to handle small objects, it could work. But honestly I'd say close to 6-7 years old.

I think it depends on the age and height of the children using it. We hung it so the 9 year old uses it with ease, yet the 3 year old can only do pull ups and not get onto the bar by himself yet.

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.

It's probably best for children 2+, i bought these for my daughter and she is 21 months and still a bit small for them! I would say they are probably best for ages 3-6, and i wouldnt worry much about a weight limit! They are VERY sturdy!! I sit in them (uncomfortably!) from time to time and they support me no problem! (110lbs!)

I have 3 boys ages 4, 6, & 10 and they can all use it. There is no back so use caution with younger children.
