could my 9 year old handle these? She is tall for her age and weighs 100 pounds. She has regular stilts that she loves and uses now.

My son was 13 when we got these for him. If she already has stilts and can navigate the height/balance thing, she should be fine. Have her start out slow - on grass- until she gets the hang of it... and make her wear a helmet!!!

If you want a lasting pair of power jumping stilts that you can use through your adult years, then I would recommend getting a pair of the 158-198lb model, but you will not be able to jump until your reach the minimum weight class, however, getting this model is ideal for learning how to walk on them quickly. This was great for me; I bought this pair of stilts when I weighted 115, and within a year of growing, I was a tiny bit less then the weight requirement. So if you want a better "stilt" experience, this is the one to go with, but if you want a better "spring" to do high jumps and adrenaline rushing flips, you should probably get a lower weight model.

Yes I think they should.The taller the 12yr old the better. They attach with elastic I would buy again.

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.

I'd say yes if the kids are elementary school age--but, these are going to be tight and not very forgiving so there is a pretty good chance things could go south on the kids pretty quick if one of them looses their balance (sprains, twisted ankles, hyper extended knees...etc...kids are resilient, but this might be a bit much..)

My boys were about a year when we tried these, and they had a hard time keeping their balance and not tipping over. Im hoping this summer at age 2 it will work better...good luck!

I think so. My son is a big 9 year old and probably the same height. He will use it through the fall no problem

Yes, these would be perfect. We have a very tall 9 and 7 year old. They handle them very well. They are so stable they can stand on them, and get on and off the back. Yet they also move through the water well. We love their design. Not great for really cold (Alaska) water, since they are sit-on-top, but for lakes and rivers in the summer they are perfect.

At her age her feet probably aren't done growing. If she is skating outside she may want to wear two pairs of socks. Also you want to make sure she has tall socks on. An 8 will be a little big but in the long run they will last longer. I live in Minnesota and manage a skating rink. Can you rent some to see how it would work for her? We rent out many skates in a winter season.

I am not sure, as I purchased them for my 12 year old daughter who was 95 lbs at the time. Sorry that I could not help.

I don't think so. It seemed a bit low for my daughter who was around that height. It won't last much longer beyond 5yrs old at this stage.

Yes I believe they could if they are pretty steady on their feet. Otherwise, this is in my opinion a little light and would not be much support. It's cute but really smaller than I would have liked for my granddaughter. She was 1 1/2 when I bought it for her. I've since seen ones I liked better at other stores.

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 think the regular should be okay. When I got this; my son was 9 but he's slim and they were a little loose but he said they were comfy. Now that he's 10 this year and a little taller and heavier, he says they are just right.

I bought them for my 2 year old nephew. I've watched him manipulate them many different ways - he's a monkey. They have yet to tip over. If for some reason they ever did, they are so low off of the ground, it may startle him but not harm him (in my opinion). I liked the quality of the build - no sharp edges. Good Luck!
