My boys are 6yrs and 8yrs and both love jumping on this pogo stick. I just didn't realize it had a 60# wt limit and my oldest is right at that weight. So far it has held up, we have had it for just over a month. I love the grow-to-pro base on it, it gave them the needed confidence to start jumping and now we can take it off and work on their balance. It is a little pricey, but my youngest ordered it with an Amazon gift card he received for his birthday, so it made it an easier purchase.
