The only thing he asked for as a birthday gift this year was a pogo stick, but since he is just under 60 pounds none of the ones targeted for his age would work well with his weight. This one works perfectly for him and he has used it daily for hours on end. 5 stars The following review received 21 helpful votes out of 21 total votes: Review Date: 2007-07-08 "Love to pogo" My son loves his pogo stick. His friend has one just like it and he learned how to use it before he got it. You have to use it a little bit to get the stiffness out. But once the bottom of the pole is greased up good the kids were bouncing down the street. Wonderful toy I highly recommend!!!! 5 stars The following review received 5 helpful votes out of 5 total votes: Review Date: 2007-12-16 "good, sturdy, and great fun" i got this pogo stick for my little brother. He's small for his age, and i was worried because most pogo sticks would either hold too much weight therefore leaving him too small to make it jump, or too flimsy. I was at first turned off by "foam" in the title, but after researching all the available sticks, I took a chance on this one, and it has been far beyond expectation. The foam doesn't rip easily, and it provides excelent cushion for a more comfortable ride. Also the knob at the end is nice and wide for good balance. My brother got it in the mail, and for the next week, spent more time on his stick than off. he came to a 2 hour game of mine and pogo'd the whole time...he didn't stop once!

Funny thing is, it was even more fun for the Father who actually had an easier time riding it and had a much needed work out. Recommended to those who want to have fun outside and have the determination and coordination to ride a pogo stick. Be careful and wear a helmet! The product appears durable although the recommended weight range appears a little conservative (people at the low end of the recommended weight had a more difficult time riding because they appeared to be not heavy enough to compress the spring on the pogo stick, and comparatively, those a little above the maximum weight could ride the pogo stick without difficulty. 4 stars The following review received 1 helpful votes out of 1 total votes: Review Date: 2007-12-28 "Pleasing, but not perfect" I got this for my 7-year-old for Christmas and he has gotten really good at it in just three days. My 5-year-old (40 lbs) does not seem to be heavy enough to make the thing bounce. I am happy that the stick has been a fun challenge without being so difficult that my older son gave up on it. I think this has helped him gain confidence and realize that practicing on something can really pay off. My only complaint so far with this pogo stick is that the rubber stopper on the bottom falls out of it -- this started happening on only the second day of use and it now falls out with any vigorous jumping. 4 stars | |
