Great rope but how can it be fragile?, February 6, 2011
Green Toys GRTJGR01R Green Toy Jump Rope in Green
Green Toys 1203363 Green Toy Jump Rope in GreenI LOVE that this is made in the USA- five stars for that! but then it loses a star for "fragility". We are thrilled with MANY other Green Toys...HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND the brand! BUT on the jump rope, the handle is the problem. It says that it is adjustable so I had to wonder but figured I could unscrew handle, cut rope and reassemble. Actually, the handle has a turn to lock mechanism which is not the best. With GENTLE use, it is okay and we may just glue the 3-piece handles shut- yes THREE pieces make up each handle...odd! The handles tend to break open if the jump rope is dropped on a hard floor after use...I common occurrence in the play of a pre-schooler! If you have a low threshold for toy repair, this rope may not be best. Otherwise, if it can be used gently or glued shut... it is a great rope! In it's original length, I can use it! I'm 5'8"...so that's pretty cool! It is a tad bit long for my son who is 41 inches- or the height of an average 3 year old if you are considering...

| Author: jki (Greenbrae, CA Unite.. | I originally purchased 2 of these jump ropes for my kids, ages 6.5 and 5.5 and have since purchased 2 more as gifts. I love that the length is adjustable, the rope is sort of thick and heavy such that it makes learning to jump rope easier. My kids have not put these down since I got them!! | 6 | |
| Author: csc125 - See all my rev.. | Purchased for my 8 year old daughter. One the first use the handles came apart. We've tried everything to keep the two pieces of the handles together, but nothing works. Only way to use the jump rope is to remove the handle pieces and jump with it just as a rope. Would have sent it back, but wasn't worth the money to mail back! | 5 | |
