I purchased this toy for my 7 yr. old grandaughter's Birthday as she had been asking for a "pogo stick" and her parents told her she was too young. When she opened the present she jumped up & down in excitement & said "I always wanted this" :-) She absolutely loves it & has a great time "jumping" around on it.Her 5 yr. old brother loves it also.

It seems to be quite sturdy & is exacly what it is pictured to be.

Got this toy for my son thinking it would be better than a pogo stick you have to balance. The concept is good but I thought it would have springs inside to make you go high, but no its just foam and rubber. A big disappointment. My boys like to hop around on it, but it barely gets off the ground. I wouldnt recommend this item.

We recieved the toy quickly in the mail. My son who is 9 and his friends love it. Everyone wants to play with it. It is durable,light weight and fun even the older kids tried it and like it.

My nine year old daughter who is a very active child and loves active toys, found this to be very very disappointing. She already owns actual pogo sticks and is quite skilled on them .. we were hoping for an active toy she could use indoors or possibly on the hard dirt in our back, but the bungee jumper just thudded, was hard work and not too much fun - and was the same when I tried it ... maybe it was her height or her weight, maybe it would work well if you were a certain size, but was very disappointing for us.

hard to get going..kids lost interest quickly. doesn't go very high, but that is why I bought it, I didn't want them to hurt themselves. Now it lays in the garage, covered with spider webs.

"Lame" was the word my husband used when he saw the kids using this toy. My 6 year old (who's gift it was) could hardly make it move and lost interest immediately. My older children (7,9,11, and even 16) tried it and found it unexciting, difficult, and too much work for little pleasure. This is a waste of man-made material that will exist in a land-fill till the end of time.

OK - not quite as durable as I thought - but good buy for the money

I bought this for my 6-year-old niece for Xmas. Most of the complaints I read were about difficulty of use. It's a bit difficult to get started, but most kids can master in a few tries. But after a few fun jumping sessions, that's about it. It's a great workout, but I don't see a really long life for this toy. My complaint is more about the product's construction. The foam around the bungee cord started to tear within a few days, and she is 35 lbs, WELL under the 250-lb. weight limit. The company did send a replacement promptly after my complaint so we'll see how that holds up.

My grandchildren (ages 4 and 6) were very excited about this toy. But they were both too short to get the tension on the cord that was necessary to enjoy it. They kept trying, and then the platform split. I am sure the split was only a fluke, but it would be nice if there was a way to make the cord shorter. Otherwise this should be listed as appropriate for ages 8 and up.

I purchased this for my granddaughter who is five and a half years old. She has a lot of energy and is always wanting to jump and run. This Nana is just a tad too old for all that activity, but I can sit and watch her jump on her Bungee Jumper! She is having a ball!
