Moves up the children’s annoyance-level a good few notches
Our children have very little qualities, and they excel at almost nothing - though they are pretty good at getting on my nerves. And now with this pogo jumper we have handed them another instrument to do so.To draw them away from their iPad or Playstation is an impossible task. So my wife thought it a nice idea to get them this pogo jumper as a fun ‘activity’ that should also get them a bit of necessary exercise.Well, in short, if you looking for ways to step up the level of irritation a good few notches; this is it.The children are now constantly hopping in and out of the living room and around the house. The issue is that thee manufacturer included an irritating horn in the foam that will blow every time the pogo jumper hits the ground. Which is constant in our case.So yes, it’s fun for them. Yes, they get some exercise. And yes it’s interesting enough to un-plug them from their digital entertainment. But but is comes at a huge cost (even less peace and quiet). And our surrounding neighbours will not be pleased either. Unfortunately the Pogo jumper seems to be sturdy - so it will be a while before it falls apart. We gave it to our 6-year old but our 10 -year old happily uses it as well with all her energy and passion. Yet the pogo jumper seems to endure that without problems.Hopefully after being exposed to outdoor conditions for a while and to the summer heat in particular, the elastic handle will start to deteriorate. However the price and brand suggests it should be durable and of reasonable quality.I wonder what will happen when I start to use it to hop around with my +90kg dad-bod. Might try that to end it once and for all when the irritation really hits peak levels.The jumper is well-presented in a colourful, surprisingly small rectangular box. It makes a good present and does not require assembly.After half a day the pogo jumper already had a lot of dust marks and scratches. And the rubber starts to looks dirty as all soft toys do whenever they come near children.Lastly, the jumper seems quite safe as well, compared to a real pogo stick.

Easier to control than conventional pogos
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. From the minute this came out of the box both kids were fighting to get their hands on it! This is a modern take on the old fashioned pogo stick, but it doesn’t have quite as much bounce and is easier to control.My son (in video) is 1.4m and was still able to clasp and use the rope.Each time you make the pogo jump it lands with a squeak. My daughter had a pair of shoes like that once and they drove me mental; the only saving grace was that they came with a stopper which made the noise stop. No such luck here. It might be something the company want to think about providing for future designs.Good fun; one star deducted for the squeaking.

Modern age pogo stick
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. If you've ever had a real pogo stick land on your foot, you'll love this. A soft yet durable block forms the base of this colourful and super-safe pogo stick. Due to the way it stretches its suitable for a wide range of users, up to almost 18 stone. This is great, since I now can pogo from room to room when the children leave it lying around.That leads me to two further unique features. It has no long rigid parts, so when not in use it simply collapses, taking up very little space. Marvellous! Since the stretchy "stick" is elasticated, it can be used by a variety of heights, not just weights.Although it will work just fine out of the house, I believe it will last longest as an indoor toy. It also won't bring dirt and grit from outside. I'm ok with that, since it's actually difficult to sustain pogo activity for long, since your feet slowly slide off. Practice might indeed make this easier, however all of us have experienced this. It's not dangerous at all. Although my video footage shows one of the older girls having fun, a younger user (7yo) did make it squeak less, jumping higher achieved a squeak, however it was less sustainable. I though the dog toy squeak might be annoying, however since they pogo in short bursts, it's fine and it certainly aids their fun.This is a great update on an a toy that has stood the test of time. Recommended, especially for indoor use.

So much fun yet so safe!
Only one prob, the description is deceiving. It says 3 to 13 but I’m 47 and I bloody loved it!!!! Soooo much fun and safe as houses. An amazing toy for indoor as well as out. We have 2 boys so bought 2 of them and the whole family had races all night. Cannot recommend more highly. Every house should have one 👌

"Bonus' squeak feature
I bought this as a present for my 5 year old as a fun way to exercise through play. Forgetting the crumpled state of the packaging (thanks Amazon, just as well I didn't buy it as a present for outside the immediate family) the printing on the box is OK, but could be much better - I'd definitely recommend a different photographer! The box does not look like a terribly quality product. Once you open the box though, the toy looks pretty good, and of quite strong construction. I am not sure how long the foam will last if used outside though.It is soft enough to be used inside which is what made me choose it. However, what I didn't realise was there is a 'horn' in the side of the foam so that every bounce produces a high pitched squeak. This means that it will be used almost exclusively outside, with the door closed, and me inside. It's incredibly annoying. Enjoy!

Disappointing
I bought this item for my Grandaughter's 7th birthday. She had it a week before it fell apart while she was using it causing her to hit herself in the face. The collar needs to be made stronger.
