This is today's "gimmick" at it's finest!! Thought it would be a great idea for our 5 year old; however, it turned out to be a nightmare!!! First of all, we had hoped to free up our hands with this product...not possible. Either you hold the free end of the rope, or you need to find a suitable door, tree, etc. to attach it to. The advertisement doesn't show you what's at the other end of this thing. Secondly, good luck trying to turn it off...it was more like wrestling an octopus to get it shut down. Thought it was just the kid's having a difficult time until my turn came about. Try using this on individual use, but beware of the ball...IT HURTS IF IT HITS YOU!! In my opinion, this could prove to be a hazard with a spinning rope, which you cannot turn off easily, but could easily get around a child's neck. I am an adult and it was difficult for me to operate. Also cheaply made and not durable at all...Good luck with this one!!!

Well, after being a nervous wreck over whether or not I should buy this (all the reviews made it sound horrible!), my children and I took the plunge and I have to say that after one day's play, it seems pretty good. Granted, we have only played it in horizontal skip mode, which my 6 year old twin girls and I can do fine. My 4 1/2 year old boy gets caught by the rope each time but at least it pulls out of the base or slows down as a safety measure. We tried it in vertical classic mode and the rope turns well with enough height to jump. We had no problems with it spiraling or staying low to the ground--in fact, it hits our entrance arch to our living room which is why we can't do it in the house and have not played with it much in that mode. It really is a lot of fun so far, but I will definitely write more as we get a chance to take it outside.
