K-Roo Sports K-Roo Sports Rainbow Jump Rope with Plastic Beaded Segmentation, 7-Foot

This was a purchase due to a comment from my 8 year old that she couldn't jump rope that it was impossible. She is now running all over while jumping rope. She can indeed jump rope. Very durable and enough room for tying two ropes together if so desired. Hope this helps.

Never thought I would have an opinion about jump ropes until I saw my 8 yr old struggle (at 7 yrs old) with a cheap, light jump rope. I knew I needed something with weight and recalled these types of jump ropes in school, from my youth. The actual rope is PERFECT. Adds weight and actually makes it easier for a young person to learn to jump rope. Good exercise for indoors - we are in Chicago so the cold (combined with an urban/suburban environment) can limit our activities in winter. Highly recommend this product. Also great for adults who want to get in shape -- I have used her jump rope without her knowledge and it really is a good one - this size worked for her and for me (4 1/2 feet and 5 feet 9).

Pros: Beautiful colors. The heavy beads have the weight needed to get the rope swinging well for kids. Cons: These jumpropes do get beat up after a while. The handles eventually broke and fell apart, but our daughter (age 6) uses it all the time and is very rough with it. She is a jump roping maniac and also likes to drag it around and swing it over her head etc. She has used it almost every day for a year now, and we are just getting ready to get a new one. It would be nicer if it had more sturdy handles, but similar ropes that I have seen with nicer handles do not have the cute rainbow colors (which she loved). So I don't mind just buying this rope again. It isn't very expensive anyway.

Looks pretty, doesn't work. Too light weight and flenzy to turn and jump. Rope inside beads is a small twine verses rope. Not even one star. I wish Amazon would pull these $1 store items off Amazon.

The perfect length and weight for jump roping-kiddos! While I didn’t spend the most money on this jump rope, I do believe it will be around for a good bit. With the quality of the beads, handles and the rope itself, it should hold up to the abuse of my jump-ropers for at least a few months. The handles are long and thin, which I was unsure of at first, but they fit comfortably in my 9 and 6 year olds’ hands. It’s light enough that they can swing it comfortably, yet heavy enough that it doesn’t get caught up in their hair when swinging over their heads.

Love these kind of jump ropes, remember them from years ago when I went to school, they're so much fun. Check walmart and toys r us they just had the cheap rope kind, I was looking for something that weighs down the rope that way my girls can jump better and faster instead of tripping or messing up cause the rope to slow and catches the wind. Found just what I wanted here, good price and more fun then just the cheap rope, and very colorful with the beads none of them broke on me or my daughters.

I got this for my students in the fall (6 months ago) and it's gotten a ton of use. Admittedly, one of the handles came off a couple months ago, but that's bound to happen when it gets daily use by 24+ elementary-aged kids. They still use it, even with the missing handle, and I should probably buy a few more at some point. The weight of it is nice - there are so many cheap jump ropes out there that are really not helpful when kids are first learning. It goes outside with them at recess and is used in the hallway to help memorize math facts or give a little break when a child feels frustrated. Works like a charm!

Our son, 9 years old, signed up to "Jump Rope for Heart". After registering online to be his first pledge, we realized that he doesn't actually know how to jump rope (@ least not very well). Bought this & it's perfect! The weight, the length, the bright & cheery colors, all of it! it is short enough for his 6 year old sister to use it & long enough for me (I am 5'10"). We only just got it today, will have to update this review once we've had it a while. I am interested to see how it holds up over time.
