Would this be good for a 5 year old? The age range says 7+ however I would like to avoid the cheapy plastic "toddler" ones since she's older. Thanks!

My kids are 8 & 5. I've owned several tees, even for myself. I couldn't believe how sturdy this tee is for the price! It's great!

I would not purchase it for a child that size, but that's just my personal opinion. I purchased this item back in 2010 and have had many children on it and it's been a lot of fun. The 5 year old who is 40 something pounds and tall, is still enjoying it, but not for long.

I would say its fine, as there's nothing on it that could come off and pose a choking hazard and its super soft and lightweight. As for whether a 7 month old will be interested in playing with it, that totally depends on the child. My daughter got hers when she was a year old, but I don't think she'd have been interested in it for long at 7 months, but according to some other reviewers others love it at that age. Honestly, my daughter loved hers at first, then quickly lost interest (I'd say within the month). However, she's now 2 and a half, and has recently rediscovered it and is in love with it.

There's really no age group to this train set; I bought this set when my baby was 5mos old, she play with it then (put parts in her mouth) and now, she is 10mos old and still plays with it. I think we'll have it till she is much older, like 3-4 years old. Honestly, I don't think it's truly entertaining for her right now since she only knows how to put things in her mouth, but I'm sure we'll get more use out of it when she learns how to turn it on and off.

this would be especially good for a five year old. we bought ours for our daughter's 9th birthday and it was frankly a bit low but it was all we could find that wasn't too high. we were lucky they had some extra poles we could add to extend ours up just a bit and it has, as a result, been perfect. it is easy to assemble and stays up without all the strings and stakes, etc...you can lower it for tennis if you want, and it is light. i highly recommend it for a five year old..

Yes. I got this for my daughter when she was 3.5 and she's 5 now and still enjoys. I do think it's appropriate for 2.5 year old because they will grow with it. There are so many accessory sets. It's fun to get different ones for birthdays, etc.

Most definitely. I would think that's the perfect age. I have two and my granddaughter is only 16 months. Hardly old enough to hand them to her as a toy. But she giggles at them when I hold her on my lap and we play with them. She definitely has it figured out how to feed the little guys! EDITED: to say: After reading the comment left by CandaceMacan24 , I may agree that 5 and above may even be a better age group than 4 - she makes some good points. Depends on the kid. As a side note, My 16 month old GD isn't scared by it.

It may be a bit young for a five year old- it doesn't have a ton of features (just a few phrases the jet says) but if the child already likes Wonder Woman, he or she may enjoy this toy--- you can also find more Wonder Woman and female superhero toys at mightygirl.com- that's where I found this. Maybe they'll have some WW stuff for your 5 year old

I would definitely avoid this toy with a 5 year old. The ball is about as heavy as a billiard ball in pool. And you have to swing it around on a string about the same length as a child's arm. So, there is a good chance your child would be knocked in the head. They could easily knock out teeth or damage something if they started swinging this thing around too vigorously.

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

No, this item is meant for very young children. I would say up to 5 years old.

It would be vary some based on the patience and skill level of the child, but I would say 7 or 8 would be good ages. My daughter got hers at age 6, and she likes it and plays with it, but is not able to complete it....although she is improving.

I bought it for my granddaughter last year, she just turned 5 and loved it. She still plays with it.

Ours broke. But to be fair we did get it for our 5 year old. I wouldn't suggest using it as a toy for a child.

We're parents, and we thought he was entertaining. My 3 year old loves him and can steer him very easily. I'd think that a 5-6 year old might want something a little more advanced, but for 2-4, this is great (and it's sturdy!)

Yes it is good for 1.5 year old, although I ordered for my son after his second birthday. I could have ordered earlier if I knew about it that time. My son started liking animals a lot after he turned two, before that it was more of car stuff. There aren't very tiny things in it, smallest is the bush (appx. 1" x 3/4" may be) but yes, I would monitor a toddler 1.5 year old throughout his play.

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