Pogo Sticks For Children

Here we will discuss what type of pogo stick is good for children.

There are some things to consider before buying pogo sticks for chidren:  

·    The maximum rider weight is often only double the minimum weight. 

• Buyers should "try before buy" because the pogo stick can be unsuitable (too stiff or not stiff enough) even if the rider is within the specified weight range. 
• Pogo sticks for children often have interchangeable feet. They start with a large foot so the child can keep his/her balance easily. Then, when they are comfortable, they can change to the normal foot. 
• A rider who is too light will be unable to compress the spring. 
• A rider who is too heavy means that the spring will be too weak to bounce back. 

Some more advanced models have adjustable springs, compressed air, or rubberbands. They suit every weight and height with just a few adjustments. These models are made more for a professional and can jump up to 7 feet. Assuming that you are looking for a beginner model, we will not discuss these models here. 

Too young for a pogo stick? Other options

If you are starting your child very young, you might want to start them on pogo like toys. They range from inflatable balls like the Pogo Moon Hopper or the Zoingo Boingo. Or maybe you want to try Geospace Jumparoo, which are a set of oval springs. The idea is that the base of these are much wider and easier to keep balance and keep from getting hurt. But the vertical jump height is much less, so they won’t jump as high. This makes them much safer but much less fun as well. 

The Best Pogo Sticks For Kids 

Like any kind of sport, safety should always be first. Skateboards and roller blades are no more dangerous than pogo sticks, so you should always think about safety here. All it takes is a pebble in the wrong place and you could suffer serious injury. Always use a pogo stick in debri-less concrete and away from obstacles. 

Anyone who is thinking about buying any kind of sports equipment for their children should be conscious of safety first. Always wear a helmet and knee/elbow pads. One fall could cost your child pain or serious injury and thousands of dollars. 

Conclusion

The best pogo sticks for children are safe pogo sticks, and that matches the rider's weight. Whatever the design, safety equipment should be worn, and the rubber foot needs to be constantly checked for damage.
