Is this short enough for an 8 year old?

No 8-year old test subjects in my house. But I would say yes, since the legs can be spread to different settings and locked in. Might need a footstool if foot pedals aren't an issue yet.

There are three (3) height positions that could accommodate almost all ages.

My granddaughter is an average 6 year old so yes, it is short enough. My husband took it out of the box but I do believe it is adjustable.

I bought this one for my 2 year old son, I believe it`s too short for someone bigger than 4. Cheers!

Yes it will accommodate an 8 year old. I have had kids from age 16 months to 9 year olds.

My oldest is about 3.5 feet tall. She's about to outgrow it. If your niece is shorter for 8, she may love it. It's a very thoughtful gift!

Yes, I think so. I'm 5'8" but my 10 and 7 year olds are able to use it just fine. My 7 year old has trouble with the moving arms, but I think that is more of a coordination rather then height problem. I'm not sure of the height of the screen, but I think you might be able to tilt it a little when putting it together to make seeing it easier. I love mine!

Probably not. I bought it for my 10 year old son who is average for his age. It would most likely be too small.

I honestly would not by this for an 8 year old. I did let my daughter use it when she was 8 but she is on the smaller side. This was purchased for a 4 year old who is now about 5.5 and still uses it occasionally. I see it last MAYBE 2 more years before we pass it on.

I have an 8 year old and a 2 year old. They are both tall for their age. Do you think this is something I will get a couple years use out of for my 8 year old?

I have a 9 year old nephew and got another one for him. I think it would be appropriate for an 8 year old. May not last forever but with a few spare parts its probably a good choice.

I would say that it depends on how tall your 8 year old is, BUT... if I were still 8, I would ride this thing till the wheels fell off! It's a great and well built ride for the money.

It was the perfect height for my three year old. I would imagine that an eight year old would have a really hard time sitting at it.

I would say it depends on how tall your 8 year old is, but my daughter is 7 and about average height and it's still tall enough for her. We bought it for Christmas and we're still on the first batch of batteries and it's going strong. I think it's a good deal. Best of luck!

I think it would work fine for an 8 year old, obviously depending on what is going to be kept inside. The height is perfect for a nightstand. That's what I use it for, next to a full size adult bed.

It may be a touch big for under 8, but it's adjustable, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.. We love it!

It is very small. I'd definitely get something a little bigger. Was perfect size for my 8 year old boy.

It sort of depends on the modelling talent of the 8 year old. If he/she is a typical one, I would say no unless you help by doing all the work. This model requires advanced modeling skills and I suspect would be a huge challenge for an 8 year old. Of course, you could buy it and stash it for 5 or 6 years. In the interim, look for a less complex model. There are several available so best to check a couple of stores (on-line or face to face). Good luck.Clyde
