This is not your average, thin, piece-of-junk inflatible. This thick-skinned inflatible is perfect for toddlers. I bought this Rody for my two-year-old and now have to endure the little one and my five-year-old fighting over it. Kids 4 and over will bounce too hard and fall off the back simply because they are too big for this toy. My eldest doesn't mind falling off one bit so long as she keeps it away from her little sister, however. My little one (the recipient) drags it all over the house by the ears. Very cute, durable, and fun physical toy. No it's not "educational", per se, but it beats sitting in front of the TV hands down. High-quality, European product. Nothing "Made In China" about this thing.
