We got a Tumbl Trak Jr Practice Mat over 5 years ago as a gift for my daughter's birthday (she was 4 yr). When we first got it, I wasn't sure why we needed it. As time has gone on, we use it often and it's still in great condition. Both daughters have joined the gymnastics ranks (Junior Olympic competitive and recreation) and our repitoire of Tumbl Trak equipment has expanded. We now have 2 tumbling mats, 1 Jr Bar Set, and an Addie Balance Beam. Everything arrives in a well supported shipping boxes. Installation (if required) is quick and easy. My kids love being able to flip, cartwheel, tumble etc and I love that I have confidence that when they fall (which we know they will), it won't be too painful. I've called Tumbl Trak to help me make purchasing decisions and reps are incredibly helpful in guiding me on what will be best for my home and will complement what I already own. If you haven't explored the website, definitely do. The video on which bar is best for you was super helpful in understanding the differences between the various options at Tumbl Trak. I tell many people about this brand and their equipment and will continue to support them as our needs expand (though we may need a dedicated room for all this by then!).
