What is the maximum weight these toys handle? I know they are for kids, but I also know adults are tempted to try them out...

My grandkids are 34 lbs and 40 lbs but as a test, I just rode it across the carpeted living room floor. I'm 175 lbs and Trumpette did not complain at all!*A couple of years later, two more grandkids and Trumpette now with a dog collar on it neck, still holds my 175 (+) with out any problems. Will probably outlast me.

larger kids kinda stretch them out so I don't think adults would continually be able to utilize the toy but my daughters in the 43ish lb range have no trouble bouncing them around the house.

It is very short, I don't think an adult would be able to ride it.However, it is made of a very sturdy material, so I don't think it would break. The oldest kid around 10 years old, has sat on it without breaking it.

Prob 100 pounds. I don't think it would hold an adult.. It sits to low to the ground for an adult to be tempted to us it

I'm not sure of weight limit but it is for children. My grandaughter who is 5yrs is still hopping around on it and ties a robe tie to it and walks it around the house. It was worth every penny I paid for it!

I don't know what the manufacturer's maximum weight is but Howdy is very sturdily made. I purchased this toy for my granddaughter who now weighs about 28 pounds. Other children around 40 pounds have played with it with no problem and actually, I have seen "mommy" (~120 lbs.) sitting on Howdy with perhaps not her full weight... the kids still love it and play with it when at our house. It's a great toy!

I do not know the maximum weight, but it is definitely a small child's toy to ride. It is for a toddle (probably not over 30 pounds. They are very cute and work very well. However, clean the bottom of the cow's feet before putting them on a wood surface. I left the 2 cows I purchased on my wood dining room table and it removed the finish on every single spot the feet touched. I had to completely refinish the table.

I would not allow a child show was more than 50 pounds to sit on this cow. Outside of the weight factor I don't see how an adult would fit. I am a smaller person and ther is no way that I could physically attempt to sit on the product and bounce becuase of my legs being too long.

My two year old grandson weighs 25lbs and he will be able to use it for another year yet. He enjoys riding on it. I bought it for his first birthday and I wouldn't recommend it for that age, as it tips forward.

I think "officially" it says 125lbs (but I won't swear to it!) and another answer says a 175lb person tried it and it was fine; I think it would be for a short ride. My 2 year old AND 7 1/2 year old (50 in tall and 60lbs) both bounce on it all over the house all the time and love it

They're pretty wimpy. Squish easily and don't return to the round. I can't imagine them doing anything at all for adults, just maybe babies.

Really, I see them more as adult collectibles, because they are expensive, and they're also a bit on the fragile side. I would not recommend them at all for a very young child. The tail, for instance, easily comes apart into individual rings, and it would be easy to lose them or swallow them. They vinyl toys are less poseable, but far more durable.

We adults used them along with our little grandchildren. They were big enough for us. Should not be a problem at all.

The answer is no. The most they will handle is 100lbs. Above 100lbs all bets are off! I returned my pair for a refund. They bent after the first use. I was very disappointed.

I don't think there was any age recommendations, just weight limits. I my self wouldn't buy them for anyone less than 14 or so because it takes a certain amount of weight and coordination to use them as well as good sense to be safe (relatively anyway). I think weight limit was 165 lbs. My 16 year old uses them and she is about 125lbs.

Do you mean so they could be lifted into the air? It is pretty sturdy, although I wouldn't recommend it. If they sit in the middle and just the sides are lifted that would probably be OK. I would be concerned that it would tear and then not be able to hold air. I have both the 12ft and a 30ft from SPORTIME,GripStarCHUTES. If you only want to use it for very small children the 12ft is fine. If you want to use it for older kids and adults, I would recommend going with the bigger. If you can go a bit higher with the price, it is so much more fun even for kids.

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come. Happy Holidays, Melissa

LOL - Kids can use them as they're very soft and harmless but they are very tiny and hard to catch and throw (even for adults, they're that small, barely larger than the size of a ping-pong ball.) If you think they'd be up for a fun challenge, then it's ok!

Yes, I have only had adults using these puppets. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

I'm not sure of the weight limit, but they have been used by people up to 225 lbs. with no problem.

These are some pretty solid toys. In fact, they are sturdy enough for younger kids to play with, since they are not likely to break. Of course, watch for loose screws after a long time of abuse, but otherwise I've had no issues. My children, 3 and 5 years old, and my friend's kids (the youngest of which is only 15 mo), have fun with them. I am not exaggerating when I say that these are as close to the "real thing" you are going to get! They will last, and would be just fine banged on the floor or against each other, or filled with sand or mud outside, or with real and fake food play. It is a toy he can grow into.

I dont recommend these for kids. These are collector quality. There are alot of interchangeable parts to swap in and out n they are rather small. But if the kid does takes care of his toys, why not :)

That's an interesting question. I got them for my grandsons and they are really still too young to learn the jist of the toy. And my son played with it for a while but quickly hit the end of his 32-year-old attention span. I'll be watching to see if you get a good answer to this question though. Best of luck.

It is good for adults, not sure on weight limit, but my husband uses these a good bit - 180 lbs.

I weigh 200 lbs and they do ok for me but I don't think they could handle very much more than that.hope this helps

These seemed quite strong to me. But, not tested with 3 year olds. They weren't big enough for me, so I gave them away.
