Review on Geospace Original Walkaroo 'Wee' Balance Stilts for Little Kids & Beginners (Ages 4+), Adjustable Height, Active Play - Assorted Colors (Red or Blue) by Robert Mulrooney

Well my 4 year old loves doing this but definitely needs help. It's too difficult for him alone. He also needs help with balance. Neighborhood children tried with varying degrees of success. Some liked it, some were afraid of it. Some playful adults also tried it, which was no less interesting for viewers. There are several design features to look out for. 1. Not as ergonomic as it seems. The handles and footrests are fine, but the stilts themselves are not balanced. By placing the handles off-center, gravity pulls them to one side. The user must actively balance the lateral tension of the handlebars while balancing themselves. It is very tricky and not all users seem to be able to "catch" it. I found it very similar to any other balance sport (skiing, snowboarding, etc.), lots of initial tasks to get started and then learning certain "clicks”. Have fun going through the learning phase. Ideal for those who want to find a balance. Children around us who are cautious or not physically inclined were intimidated by this.2. Difficult. It's stealing. If I had more money I would buy the aluminum version. These stolen goods are so heavy that younger (4-6 year old) children cannot even carry them to the next door to play with their friends. They're fun enough and I'm glad to have them, but just get the aluminum version if that's in your budget.
