I bought the mid size pogo stick for my son's 6th birthday and ever since he received it, he has not stopped bouncing all over the place. It is very durable and sturdy enough for him to do his crazy tricks.

Be careful when you purchase the pogo stick and BE SURE to get the right weight for the stick....we didn't and it took a month to correct with AMAZON. The stick itself works wonderful, it got a little banged up but he still uses it and loves it 2 months later.

My 9 year old daughter has a lot of fun with this pogo stick. It took her an afternoon to get the hang of it. So far the quality looks good. There are more expensive options out there but this seems to suit her just fine.

I have bought this pogo stick for my child along with a nephew. It has provided years of entertainment for my children & my nephew has also loved it. We finally have to replace the tip on the end because of so much use. Great product if you are looking for another activity to encourage active play.

We bought this pogo stick because we needed more 'outdoor' kid activities at our house and I refuse to get a trampoline! Its been a great toy to have around the house and it wears them out! I always make them wear a helmet when they jump.

Works well and getting a tremendous amount of use. My son is around 50 pounds right now. Beware that lower metal pole gets 'greasy' after a bit of use, but that can be wiped off when needed with a paper towel. Nothing has broken or appears to be about to...

My daughter had received another pogo stick, and although it was wonderful, she just didn't weigh enough to keep it going. This one is perfect. Just the right size and she gets it out every day and tries to beat her record of hops from the previous time. Very nice quality and the foam covering is very attractive.

From the 8 yr old himself: "I love my pogo stick. It works well. I think it's a great brand because I can jump so far on it. I feel very safe on it. "

DANGEROUS FAULTY TOY! My son is 10 years old and weighs 60 lbs soaking wet. I got him this for christmas, Within 30 minutes of use the toy flew apart sending my son crashing and pogo parts and grease flying accross the room. I am attempting to return it but so far we have not gotten any response from Amazon.
BUYER BEWARE..... THIS TOY CAN SERIOUSLY CAUSE INJURY AND HAS HORRIBLE QUALITY ISSUES.

I gave three of these pogo sticks to three grandaughters for Christmas--12, 11 and 7. They absolutely loved them, and 'pogoed' all Christmas night on the porch!. They are still going, and now,two of the grandsons, 11 and 12, are begging for them!

My boys love their pogo sticks. The company we bought them from did a good job with customer service as well.

I liked the product, but not the color. On line it looks like it is purple and pink. That is the color I had seen at Toys R Us. So, I thought it would be the same. But it was not. First they sent me a an updated version. Which was nice but it was boys colors and I was buying the gift for a girl. So, they sent me another one but the color was blue and red. I liked the product but not the color.

WELL WORTH THE MONEY! WHEN WE FIRST TRIED TO USE THE POGO STICK IT WAS A BIT
ON THE TIGHT SIDE, BUT ONCE YOU START MOVING UP AND DOWN ON IT, THE OIL INSIDE STARTS
TO MOVE DOWN THE POLE AND IT WORKS FINE. I STAND BEHIND THE POGO STICK WHILE
MY SIX YEAR OLD JUMPS. THIS IS UNTIL SHE LEARNS TO STAY ON. AS SHE YELLS OUT
MY BELLY TICKLES! SHE'S GETTING BETTER AT IT EVERYTIME SHE USES IT. SHE SAYS IT IS
ONE OF HER FAVORITE PRESENTS FROM SANTA. AND.......SANTA IS HAPPY TOO.

We purchased the Flybar Maverick Pogo Stick for our 9-year old grandson for Christmas and it was a hit except that he was disappointed that he could not try it out in our living room!

I wanted to buy something that wasn't electronic and would get the kids outside and working on their coordination. They loved it. Great for 40lb-80lb kids, as advertised. My kids haven't taken a major spill on it, but I still recommend having them wear helmets to be safe.

My nephew is hopping around like crazy. He got up to 350 consecutive jumps and is still going.

I actually bought it for my younger nephew but he can't get it to hop - he doesn't weigh enough yet.

We bought this pogo for our 8 year old daughter weight is approx. 45 pounds. This purchase was one of two parts, we also bought the Master Pogo as well due to the weight limits and needing one for her sister who is two years older as well as heavier by approx. 30 pounds.
With in a few days the Maverick has had a work out and been nearly mastered. It seems solidly constructed and performance is excellent. The only thing I can see with the design is the red foot rest are made of plastic and I wonder how long if it was left in the weather that the foot rest will hold up. It is reinforced with some sort of metal under the foot rest so even if they fall off it should still be usable.
I'd highly recommend this product for other parents or kids looking for hours of fun and enjoyment for their children. This pogo has a weight limit and as all I would follow these. As I said my 8 year old is only 45 pounds but the force of those 45 pounds she can make the spring collapse almost to the bottom. It comes with instructions to lubricate the pogo so that the pogo will last longer I believe it calls for some sort of silicone lubricant only. This is an excellent toy and worth every penny.

My son received this for Christmas and he LOVES it! He learned to use it quickly and now he "pogos" up and down the driveway. Its great for helping use up some of that endless energy that 7 year olds possess. This is a great toy to help keep your kids active.

This gift was for a 10 year old who had lots of fun trying to learn how to use the pogo stick. 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.

I purchased this Foam Maverick Pogo Stick for my granddaughter's 8th. birthday! I also purchased the Flybar Foam Maverick Pogo Stick for her twin brother. There is NO comparison between the two pogo stick's. The Flybar Foam Maverick Pogo Stick is by far the best pogo stick for children who don't weigh much. The Foam Maverick Pogo Stick is hard to jump on and just doesn't seem like the quality is as good. I wanted to return the Foam Maverick Pogo Stick in exchange for one like I purchased for her twin brother but Amazon has a policy about thirty day exchanges and it's partly my fault because I held it until their birthday and my thirty day exchange time ran out! I am ordering a pogo stick like the one that I purchased for her brother for their little sister's birthday! I would recommend purchasing the Flybar Foam Maverick Pogo Stick NOT the Foam Maverick Pogo Stick!! Sorry, a disappointed Grandmother!!

I purchased this pogo stick for my grandson's 8th. birthday. He really loves it and just can't stop jumping on it. He has a twin sister whom I purchased a different type of pogo stick for and it's just not as easy to use as this one! I would recommend this pogo stick to people with active children. This is a great form of exercise. So far so good with the quality of the product. I will give the pogo stick five stars! Thanks Amazon for the speedy shipping and great price. In a week I will purchase this same pogo stick for another granddaughter!

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.

I purchased this for my 60 lb. daughter for Christmas and it has been so much fun. I love the exercise she is getting while she thinks she is just playing! She was able to get right on it and pogo around the block the first time she tried it. Very easy to use and tons of fun.

we got this for our 9yr. old son-he had an old cheap one before this. He loves it-hours of fun. looks to be holding up good after 5 months of play. 5 stars :)

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!
overall a great stick and highly recommended for smaller children.

I bought this pogo stick back in 2004 for my 6 year old. While at the time it was probably a bit too soon for her to actually use it, she loved the idea of having one. Now, three years later she's become an expert on the thing and bounces around like a crazy woman! :) It's held up very well! The rubber piece on the bottom comes off if you use it in the grass (who needs a professional lawn aerator when you have this toy?)but goes back on securely.
Definetly worth all 5 stars.

I think it is a great product, however it says it is for weights between 40 and 80 pounds. My son is about 45 pounds and can't get the spring to compress. Therefore it is useless until he grows into it. I think a more accurate minimum weight might be closer to 50 or even 55 pounds.

My son loves his pogo stick. He got tired keeping track of counting his jumps at 325. Lots of fun and well built........so far, so good.

My child is 11, but very small for his age. 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.

Perfect Pogo Stick for the 40-80 lb set. My 8-year old (50 lbs) just graduated to this model, after spending three years on the "Grow to Pro" model with the wide base. After a few jumps he was completely addicted. Great fun, and the tight springs really get your child airborn!

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!!!!

My daughter absolutely loves this pogo stick. I like it because it's covered in foam. She likes to try to better the number of jumps she can do! It's just a great alternative to get her out of the house and active instead of in front of a tv, game console or computer. Love it!

My son has had this pogo stick for about a year and has not been able to play on it because the spring is too stiff and does not compress easily. Even my daughter who weighs 70 lbs cannot get it to work. Our 11 year old neighbour who has her own pogo stick had no problems, but it is not for the beginner.

I bought this pogo for my oldest daughter 5 years ago. It has been through 5 children, twice yearly block parties, being abandoned in the rain, and generally abused. It was still in great shape right up until last week when my 7yo left it behind my car and I ran it over. She is now saving her allowance to replace it with an identical pogo stick. It's perfect for petite children...the only one they've ever tried that they can actually get to bounce. One of the few toys they've used year after year.

Update:
The replacement pogo just came today. Although I was expecting pink and purple, the color is actually deep red and blue. This was neutral for me as we have girls and either color scheme works. This one looks even sturdier than the one I ran over. The frame is of larger diameter, it weighs a little more, and the tip is bigger and heavier. Good thing because I have 3 more kids behind the older ones who haven't yet sampled the joys of pogo-sticking.

this pogo stick is well made. that is the first thought that enters your head when you see and hold it for the first time.
i bought this for my 6yr old. she is small and does not weigh a whole lot. she has a tough time getting the spring to compress. she is somewhere between 45 to 50 lbs.
i noticed a lot of reviews complaining that the tip wore down and kids were receiving head injures. so i bought and recommend getting a helmet, elbow, and knee pads.
