How old can you be to use this beam? My daughter is 9 and very tall would this be a good investment if she only wants it for strength cheer practice

I bought it for my 9 year old daughter to practice her gymnastic routines. My 12 year old daughter uses it as well. It is well built as I have to admit I have been on it and I am 6' 2" and over 200 lbs. I think it is a great investment for anyone doing gymnastics or cheer.

My daughter is 12 and uses it and she is 5 foot. It is heavy and bulky but seems to be durable and a good product.

We have found it very useful and it really has helped. I say it is a good investment.

My daughter is 7 and uses it. I think it would be ok for 9 too. It's short compared to a tall beam but you can do a cartwheel etc on it

Absolutely. i bought this beam last year for my then 7 year old and she uses it now more than ever and she is turning 9 shortly. My daughter is tall and stocky and it works well

My daughter is 6 and uses it. It has room for growth. Not sure of that means another 4 yrs or 8. She is 47 inches tall and 45lbs. Not sure if that helps you.

We have this bar in our basement with an 7' 2" foot drop ceiling. My kids are around the same height and my smaller one can do back hip circles on the bar at the highest height with no problem. My older child can do back hip circles with the bar set slightly lower. Pretty soon he'll only be able to practice things like kips on it, however.

Hi! My baby girl started using it when she was 13months old! There is no mnimum hight it's an excellent product! Hope it helps you!!

I bought this for my 1 year old about 6 months ago. The bar seems to be the right height for her to hang on to and bounce. She will be 2 in a few months. I think I would invest in something different for a 9 year old unless they have trouble with coordination and balance.

My both my kids (6-9) use this item. I also use this with high school kids I coach. You can adjust the height.

It may be a bit small for a 9 year old. My 12 year old plays dolls with my 5 year old, and she can push this stroller around even though she is too big for it. My suggestion would be to look for a cheap, "real" umbrella stroller for your 9 year old. It would be the right size and probably cheaper.

I oriented the bolts down (bolt head and washer on top of the beam). The thinking was it would be safer if an older child jumped/climbed up and tried to hang on the beam, possibly getting cut by the unseen exposed threads. However, one could make a case for either orientation.

It would depend on what skills they will be using it for.We have it in a room with 9 foot ceilings, and my oldest daughter is 46" and she has never come close to hitting the ceiling. She is only doing level 2 skills though. Hope this helps! It really is a great bar! :)

We bought this for our 9 year old. He's an active boy and has a lot of upper body strength so it is easy for him to pull. I would think 10 would be the top for this bow because it has a light pull. It's great for a beginner and the site is fairly accurate. It's good for about a 25 yard range but not strong enough for more. Our nine-year has had it for about 5 months and is ready for a recurve.

I would not consider it safe. But I'm 200 lbs and I have a tower for that. Could you, depending on your weight? probably, but the support beam isn't held up by the poles, so only the brackets are supporting you. good brackets though, so I did one, quite comfortable but I kept asking myself why take the risk?

This will work great for your level 3 gymnast. My daughter is a level 3 as well and she wants to get taller legs for it so she can do all the skills in her routine.

I bought it for my daughter who is 9 and average size and skinny. She loves it! Its strong enough for her and her 12 year old brother to bounce on too and we call him "Rhino" because he is so big. I bet an adult would be able to use it too. I was impressed with it.

Yes, my step-daughter loves her beam and practices on it daily. She is still a beginner though.

They won't trust me. My 4 year old is almost 4ft tall and she still loves it my 3 year old just hit 3 ft they play with it everyday everything is at a great hoeght for them. I hope this helps ^^

Not sure yet...my daughter has only done cartwheels and handstands on it at this level in gymnastics. So far it has been a help for her though she does say it is a different feel than the beam at her gym.

It is a very nice beam. It is a few inches off the ground, so not very high. Your daughter could do a variety of things on it including backwalkovers. However, if you are wanting a beam with height you might want to look for another.
