since the mat folds would i be to stand it up by wall so that my daughter could practice handstands and lean on it

We stand it up when it's folded and my 2yr old practices her handstands like that. When it is opened I don't think it would work.

you would probably have to have someone hold it or figure a way to clip it onto the wall.

Yes, I believe so. The mat I received has four panels that fold together with a handle for carrying. My kids love this mat, they use it for gymnastics, wrestling, and tumbling. It has been a great mat.

Yes, I stand it against a wall when not in use. It's mostly quarter inch or so angle.

I got this for my daughter but did walk over to her room to see. It will turn to side to side if you place both hands on the give a little push. Probably not as frrely as you would prefer but it will turn.

I've never tried it personally but I don't see why not. On their website they showed someone standing on the mat with socks on so you should probably use it like that.

I bought it for my daughter when she was 3 months old. Her feet did not touch the floor even at the lowest setting so I stuck something underneath it that she could put her weight on. Use your best judgement if you child is ready for something to stand in.

Absolutely. My 8 year old does it all the time and I (her mother) can do it too! It is very sturdy. My daughter likes it better than the wobbly ones at her dance school. Amazingly, it is very easy to move. My daughter can pick it up and move it to wherever she wants by herself.

Yes! That's how we have it used. I can do yoga and martial arts and nothing moves at all, not me or the mat!

Yes, my daughter has been doing gymnastics for 5 years and loves hers. Very sturdy and easy to move.

You can Fold it like that but it is more sensible to roll it like a yoga mat

No. I just use the back of my couch. Or a support pillar from the wall. If you have a bar, great! But you can use anything, since the purpose in these videos is just to have some support, or something to lean on for balance. It's not like in a real ballet class, where sometimes dancers use bars to pull themselves up, or to lean into when doing arabesque. It's not like that. The couch is fine for these DVDs

I'm not using it for that purpose but I think it would work well for that. Getting change out of the bottom might be a problem if her hands aren't very agile.

I wish I could tell you a special trick to use but my daughter folded the couch into position before I got home. She did it by herself which surprised me because it is very heavy.Maybe if you got another person to help, you could put it in place. I know I could not have done it alone.

It can be up against the wall while in upright position but must be pulled out to fold down. The back fold directly down, bottom does not swing forward or anything

Thank you for your interest. Yes, you can do handstands using the item on the ground.

You could fold this mat but because it is twice as thick and 4 inches longer than a standard mat it may not fold very easily.

This is a great treadmill but no it's not the lightest to try and fold up. It can be done but it would be better to set it somewhere and leave it there. When it is folded up it fits rather snugly against a wall. It ends up about 9" out which isn't too gosh awful bad. One thing to make sure of though - make sure you listen for the locking 'click' when you fold it up or you're in for a rude awakening when it falls in the middle of the night. Hope it helps...
