JumpSport iBounce Trampoline NEW RompyRoo Video Adventures! ~ Review

The weather has cooled off and it's definitely beginning to feel more like winter here in the Midwest. We get to spend some of our days outside, but for the most part we've already been cooped up inside. It's times of year like this that I especially have to get creative when it comes to keeping my kids active and not letting them turn all of their time to iPads and computers. Yes, these are great learning tools, but knowing that kids need to move to develop cognitively, I try to come up with things we can do indoors that will keep us active, learning and having fun!

Most winters I have a difficult time coming up with activities that incorporate physical activity while also including educational benefits as well. Not anymore though! As you may remember, this past spring we had the opportunity to review the iBounce Kids Trampoline from JumpSport. It has been a fantastic way to keep the kids active and learning, even on the days we can't get outdoors.

For those who aren't familiar with JumpSport, they were founded in 1997 when CEO Mark Publicover invented the world's first affordable backyard trampoline safety net enclosure. Today JumpSport distributes its top- rated safety trampolines and accessories throughout the world, and its adult Fitness Trampoline at fitness clubs and retailers like Costco. With over 25 patented safety and game innovations, JumpSport continues to create playful, active and educational products for kids and adults of all ages.

 

We have been very happy with the quality of our JumpSport products, and the kids absolutely love them as well! I know the JumpSport iBounce Trampoline for Kids is going to perfect for Kaelyn and Kaden when we're indoors this winter, especially now that JumpSport has released two new animated adventures for RompyRoo in Let The Games Begin and The Grand Finale!

I knew the kids were going to be very excited to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review these videos, as Kaelyn and Kaden both LOVE RompyRoo and interacting with him as they bounce and exercise.

As you may remember from my review of the iBounce Trampoline, it has a Tablet Mount for iPads, Kindles, etc. Although we usually use this, my husband has been using our iPad for work recently, so I have just been popping the RompyRoo DVDs into our DVD player which works great as well. I love that there's this option for families that may not have a tablet, but still want the JumpSport iBounce Trampoline!

We have been using both of the videos and the kids don't seem to ever get tired of them. They keep them hopping along, working on their balance and coordination. Of course, this is all done while learning to listen carefully and follow directions as they learn new skills too!

 

I've been really impressed with these two new videos. They are a lot of fun, and just like the first one they are exciting for the kids, but keep them learning without even knowing it. For instance, RompyRoo will have the kids jump 10 times and counts with each jump. My 2 year old has been doing great counting along. It's amazing how much this has helped him with his counting and number skills! I love it!

Of course, it's also a lot of fun that RompyRoo takes them on fun adventures. Here's a quick clip of Kaden on our iBounce Trampoline using the new DVDs.  SO.MUCH.FUN!

The Let the Games Begin! video leads children on an adventure teaching everything from numbers to letters and colors (it's perfect for my 2 year old!). I'd say this is probably Kaden's favorite adventure with RompyRoo because he takes them through the land of dinosaurs, exploring a farm, skiing down mountain slopes and so much more. It also includes 3, 5 minutes Mom and Child workout exercise videos as Bonus Materials as well!

The Grand Finale! is a lot of fun as well, and one that Kaelyn especially enjoys. This is a progression from counting, letters and colors learned in Let the Games Begin! RompyRoo helps make learning fun and active by teaching kids to count forwards AND backward and so much more. Kids can challenge themselves by going through an obstacle course and trail race near RompyRoo's home.

Overall we've been really happy with the two new RompyRoo animated adventures from JumpSport. They really help keep the exercising experience fun and fresh. I would definitely recommend these to anyone with the iBounce...they'd make a terrific Christmas gift this holiday season! And, if you don't have the iBounce Trampoline yet, I would definitely suggest looking into that as well!

For those who may not remember, the JumpSport iBounce is for ages 2-5 (or up to 80 lbs). It retails for $129.95 and comes with Hop-A-Long with RompyRoo - Where Is Mr. Fuzzy? which is the first video. And now of course, they also have the two new videos as well:  Episode 2 - Let the Games Begin  and Episode 3 - The Grand Finale.

They have also now won eight toy industry awards as well, the Spring 2012 National parenting Center Seal of Approval, Spring 2012 Parents' Choice Foundation Award, 2012 Mom's Choice Awards, and 2012 Parent Tested Parent Approved are just to name a few!
