The only thing my 5-year-old granddaughter requested from Santa was a pogo stick, and I thought, "There is no way a 5-year-old is going to be able to use a pogo stick." I was beyond thrilled to find this item here on Amazon, because I'd looked on several sites and found nothing beyond the typical pogo stick, other than a few that were made shorter so they'd be more proportionate for smaller children.
