But just as true, there is almost nothing more frustrating than being the well intentioned adult who just can't get a kid's kite to fly! By choosing the right kite and following a few simple tips, you can avoid most of the frustrations and be a hero almost every time out.

Great Choices for older Kids
Due to their larger size, these kites will typically be more reliable and will fly in a wider range of wind conditions than their smaller cousins. Although manufacturers typically recommend ages 8 + for these kites, they are moderately light pulling and kids as young as 5 years old will usually find them easy to handle in light to moderate winds.
