DON’T GET A PENNY CRUISER!!
The dimensions are all wrong - too narrow board, no nose or tail to learn tic-tacs, far too narrow trucks and oversized wheels. At 5 years, she’ll be sitting on the board most of the time and something a little bigger, although heavier, will give more stabilty and control. The big wheels mean it’s a (proportionally) bigger distance between the top of the board and the ground, so when she learns to push, her thighs will get burned out way easier.
I bought my son a Stereo plastic cruiser (same, but cheaper) when he was 2, he brought it everywhere like a teddy for a while, but didn’t do much with skating till I set him up with a Magenta mini - 27" (I think) x 7.25" with Ace 33 and 54mm Ricta Clouds a few years ago. There’s a couple of spots nearby with skatepark-smooth concrete where I’ve taken him a couple of times and he finds it way easier with the mini than the plastic cruiser.
Interestingly, his friends all give the cruiser a shot whenever they call over, I think it’s the colours or something…
