This is a fun toy so far. Everyone wants to try it. It's challenging but helps with balance. I think once my kids (ages 11 & 8) get the hang of it, they will be walking all over. Just be careful that someone is there to "spot" and keep kids who want to try walking on these "stilts" away from fireplaces and TV's (of course).

My daughter got these stilts for her 5-year Birthday. It only took her about an hour to figure them out and once she did, she was all over the house in them and still is, 6 months later. She is not the type to enjoy a toy longer than 6 minutes let alone 6 months. The one problem we had was that the pole will occasionally twist in the base so that is it nonparallel to the "bigfoot" making it hard to walk and at first, I had to twist it back into place for my daughter. Again, that only took my daughter a day or so to figure out on her own how to twist the pole back into it's proper position to keep on stompin'. GREAT toy. All my kids love it, all the friends love it, all the cousins love it, etc, etc...

My daughter wanted "stilts" for Christmas this year. As an eight year old, I didn't think she'd enjoy those too well. However, I noticed these StompWalkers and thought they might be a good alternative. I was right, she absolutely loves them; it's difficult to get her to walk from her bedroom to the kitchen (or anywhere else) without them! What a GREAT find!! She says that the StompWalkers are her favorite Christmas present this year.
I thought that I might add that in order for a child to be successful with these, they must be fairly coordinated. My daughter is very coordinated, but the first couple of times she tried them, she lost her balance and fell; this made her a little frustrated. However, once she slowed down a bit, she picked it up quite quickly.

I have 3 and 4 yr old nephews; the 3 yr old has trouble processing input and can be easily have a meltdown with too much stimulus. This past Christmas, these stomper feet were his absolute favorite thing- it gave him control, allowed him to work on motor function, and enabled him to focus. He would climb on it, hold the handles, and an adult would put their feet under the giant stomper feet and help him walk on the stilts - it was truly remarkable how much he loved this toy.
I've actually recommended this toy to parents of young children with ADHD or similar issues; they have all reported the same results.

The 4 year old also enjoys the toy, however, the feet to get turned around a lot and don't lock into place.

My daughter received these for Christmas, and she still walks on them at least 3 times a week. Very easy to get started, and safe. She even uses them on wood floors. I believe it has helped her balance, also.

I purchased this for my nephew for Christmas. He (and his siblings) loved them! He played with them from the minute they were taken out of the package for the rest of the day and after. I was told this was his favorite present this year. Great choice!

My 9 year old got these for Christmas. They are a lot of fun and a unique gift. My 10 year old 9 year old and 6 year old can all use them!

This was my 8 yrs old daughters favorite Birthday present! She uses them all of the time and her friends cant help but try them too. It is worth the money and hours of fun.

My 6 year old daughter just loves her stompers. She still is not good at getting around in them but slowly getting better. I like the fact that it forces her to learn to balance. Great fun!

I bought this toy for Christmas of 09' and its still the only toy that I think survived the year! Very strong... It wont break.. All kids that come over love it. She really likes it alot! Bye it you wont be sorry.
