Would this be good for my 9 year old son as something "additional" in the yard to utilize?

Yes. Very much so. He will love it. Just make sure he wears rubber soled shoes for stability. Our 5 year old loves it.

Yes! Also my kids are really hard on stuff and this has held up very well! Dozens of games played on this in the back yard, And still no problems! Plus small enough to store away and carry out on a whim! They are great!

I would think a nine year old would be too old and probably too big/tall for this. It really is for littler kids.

If a parent is "helping" the child, then you could do this with a kid who is maybe 5. I have found this to be a fantastic product for 10 or 11 year old boys, who will hang out in my backyard playing with this for hours. It flies higher than my house - and my son and his friends have worked out how to maximize the amount of height relative to needed water. To me, they are the sweet spot for this product.

Yes! As long as he/she is able to ride a bike, and isn't unnaturally short or super tall, it will be perfect for your 9 year old! Our son Beckham is 7 and he absolutely LOVES his bike! :) Good luck!

This would work great for a nine-year old. It will even accommodate adults! Even though I bought one for my 3-year old grandson, my daughter can ride it. They are very heavy duty. I think your nine-year old will love it.

i would say yes, for kids 2 years plus. my 3 year old likes to use it to squirt things outside - sort of like a squirt gun.

In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter. It is very well built, with all the extra's that you get with the bow set it is well worth the price. I bought this set for my 5 year old grandson, it is almost a little advanced for his age. I would say it would be perfect for your 9 year oldgirl. She would have lots of years of use before having to advance to a more complex bow. Matter of fact, I like using this bow myself. It ismost definitely not a toy. It's a powerful little bow. Bear makes a very high quality archery bow and equipment. I hope I didn't overly answer yourquestion. However, I believe your child would have years of use and enjoyment with this bow set............... In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter.

I have this for my 9 year old. He's still short enough that he can use everything. He's the typical height of a 9 year old. He absolutely loves this thing. He can't do much with the rope ladder but every once in a while he hooks it up and swings on it. He has a ton of energy and this has been a blessing in our house! He swings and plays on it constantly.

I would recommend a good 20 get for maximum effectiveness. .. But is dependent on strength of throw into it. My son is 9 and 20 feet is minimum.

I purchased one for my 9 year old grandson and he loves it. It seems to be easy to use and with a little adult help it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes. My son takes it to the local park where he drives it on the grass with no problems. The grass, obviously, would have to be at a reasonable length, mowed and not grown for weeks without mowing.

Fritz, I would love to answer your question but if you knew me you would be amused. I don't do yard work. I bought it for my husband. He is out of town but due back tomorrow. I will ask him and let you know then.

It would probably be okay outside. I wouldnt want it on the lawn though - you should have it on a harder more stable surface. But otherwise - I would think outside would be fine. However for long term durability - I'd recommend this though only for inside ... maybe get a little tikes set for outside?

I would haout there and blow it up, but I will say it was perfect for my 2 year old, and my husband and I would even go in it with him from time to time. He is 3 now and I am sure he will still have a blast in it. Sorry I don't have the dimensions right now, but if your son is around 2 to 4 years old, I think he will like it. we would blow it up and just empty the water and put in the shed blown up, so we would not have to keep blowing it up throughout the summer.

Your son most likely will be supporting the bulk of his weight with his legs so I don't see any problem using it well over a year plus the seat part comes off and once your son is standing on his own it can be used as a play station. Hope my answer is helpful

No. A 9 year old could assist an adult with construction, and operation, but there are no safeguards. Once built, with a motor spinning a tool, this kit has the potential to cause significant injury.
