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!
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!!
I 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..
