(More customer reviews)Santa placed this great gift under the tree for my very active 7 1/2 y/o son. He received the black model, which appears to be identical to the purple other than the color of the platform. He's been practically bouncing off the walls ever since he opened them. In reality he gets between 6 inches to about 2 feet off the ground depending on how hard he jumps.
The base is very heavy duty, and looks very similar to an automatic lawn sprinkler valve box. There is a foot platform suspended in the middle of the base by way of heavy rubber or polyurethane bands. The bands run through slots in the platform and attach at either side of the base by hooking over some plastic teeth surrounding the outside of the base. There are 12 points of attachment for each foot platform.
Some assembly is required, the most difficult thing is stretching the bands. Santa's elves pre-assembled my son's so they'd be ready to go as soon as he got them. I think he could have put it together himself in about 5 minutes.
The set comes with a 1lb bag of bands that are used in increments up to 5 per platform slot to accommodate the 60 - 160 + lb weight rating of the user. The 1lb bag of bands had 50 total bands. The weight chart on the instruction sheet lists up to 5 per slot, which would equate to 60 bands, so I'm guessing there must be replacement/upgrade bands available.
1 band per slot = 60 lbs or less
2 bands per slot = 60 - 100 lbs
3 bands per slot = 100 - 130 lbs
4 bands per slot = 130 - 160 lbs
5 bands per slot = 160 + lbs
I think the real limit with the design is the size of the user's foot. I have a size 14, and weigh 200lbs so I can't try it out. :-( It looks like a lot of fun, and my son has been having a blast with it.
It's a pretty simple toy, but my son loves it. Sometimes simple things are better. In fact he's been using it more than the Playstation 2 games he wished so much for.
