No. Children have a higher pulse than adults.

One way to determine maximum heart rate is 220-age. In this case, 217 would be maximum. This is not very accurate, however.

Another way to determine average heart rates is by using pediatric vital sign charts. According to Rosen's Emergency Medicine: Concepts and Clinical Practice 5th Edition, a 2-5 year old patient should have a pulse between 80-140. These numbers will vary between references, however you must also look at the patient presentation, not just the heart rate.
