When we take this to the park, then all these children want to play with it.  Funny, but it actually gets annoying, because as a parent, I have to hold other people's kids to keep them safe while they are jumping up and down.  PLUS, my kids don't get to use it as much because of the other children.  There is a weight limit on this pogo stick, so be careful with heavier children.  Other than that, it's easy to use, and even to store.  Barely takes up any space and even stands on it own with the base.  Make sure that you stay with your child until he/she gets really good with it.
