Stilts are a perennial favorite around the world. Now the basic stilt design has been made a whole lot better - easier to learn, easier to use, more ergonomically correct, and more FUN! Most stilts are simply straight poles with foot platforms attached to the sides. The tops of the poles rest behind the shoulders, forcing the upper body to slump forward. Not ours! WALKAROOS have an S-bend which wraps comfortably around the shoulders. Another bend at the foot platform (11" above the ground) places your weight directly over the lower pole for vastly improved control. WALKAROO Balance Stilts also quickly adjust to accommodate anyone from 4 ft. 6 in. to 6 ft. 6 in. (137-198 cm), so the whole family can get in on the fun! Great for improving balance and coordination. Made of rugged tubular steel, with a non-marking rubber "foot," which allows for use indoors and out. For ages 6 years & up (to a maximum of 210 Lbs.) For even more FUN, and an added challenge, see the 4-Piece Walkaroo Xtensionz Set. For younger kids, look for Walkaroo JR. Stilts.
