Kids Punching Bag for Boys & Girls - Inflatable Boxing & Kick Dummy - Karate Taekwondo Training Equipment - Fun Christmas & Birthday Gift for Ages 4-12 - Standing Punch Toy for Active Play & Party Fun

This is an update to my earlier review (below). I'm still totally satisfied in the product and even more so the company...the reports of great customer service are spot on! One bag developed a leak and my patch worked mostly but left a slow leak. The company replaced it without questions. Keep in mind these aren't indestructible and there will be some that leak more quickly (not always a fault of the product, e.g. over inflating, picking it up or moving it without supporting the heavier base, etc.) My grandkids have punched and kicked these bags for months now, including kicks off a bench. For me, these are a bargain, particularly given the great customer service from the company.Earlier review: l have a 'ninja course' in my basement for the grandkids and this addition has gotten great reviews from the grands. As one said, "this is awesome". The oldest is 10, and the course includes a rope that they use for flying kicks, so the bag is plenty durable. I have the base filled with pea gravel (which took some time even with a funnel, but was well worth it). I do my own punches and standing kicks too! Any inflatable, rubber bag can get leaks, and some will leak quickly due to seam or stem failure problems that will occur in any manufacturing process. But based on other reviews, the company replaces these quickly so I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

This punching bag for kids is a good product, it's well made with quality materials. It comes in a very small package, and it includes the bag, the instructions and one patch (in case of puncture)The bag needs to be inflated with water and air in certain order, please pay attention to the order to obtain proper stability of the product.Once inflated the bag is really stable, sturdy enough to stand a punch from an adult without tipping over yet not too heavy to be moved to another location (by an adult)It was a nice detail for the company to include a patch kit, but I don't expect to be using it anytime soon. It's a very thick material and the seams are fused together very well.The only thing I would advice to anyone buying this bag is that it takes a lot of air to inflate it, so be ready to use a pump of some sort to inflate it, it will make your life easier. Maybe an inflatable mattress like air valve could be something that I would add to make it perfect.

My kids loved it, but unfortunately the closure does not stay close. It leaks air out just as fast as you refill it. I had it replaced and the new one does the same. I would NOT recommend this purchase to anyone.

My 7 year old busted this in less than 1 day. He wasn't doing anything overly aggressive, just punching it with some kid boxing gloves. After a few hours of playing with it, it began to leak air and sag. It no longer holds air as there is a tiny hole somewhere along the seam (I'm guessing).Speaking about the seam. Just a word of caution. The seam running up and down the punching bag sticks out maybe 1/8 of an inch. That does not seem like a lot visually, but the seam is finished with a harder plastic edge. Because of this if someone is punching the bag and another person gets hit with the seam side, it can actually scratch them. This was definitely a buzz kill for my kid. A quick fix was covering the seam with electric tape. However, i do not feel like its the consumers job to fix a product so it will not scratch them right out of the box.In summary, next time i will pay a little more $$$ to purchase a product that is built more sturdy, and not a scratching hazard.***UPDATE***Let me just say how impressed I am with the Customer Service. The seller immediately contacted me to discuss the issues i had. They were professional and apologetic. They told me they would be contacting the manufacturer to inquire about the seam scratching (which to me is a bigger deal than a one off defective bag). Not only did they give me a full refund without me even asking about it, but they also offered to send a free replacement. As a customer, that is all i can ask for. I adjusted my rating of the sellers based off their amazing Customer Service.

I have a 6 year old child who practice martial arts and he loves this punching bag.GoodQuality: My son has been punching and kicking it non-stop for the past week. I see no marks or signs of any damage. I can easily see it as lasting for a while.Covers both type of usage: My son started playing with it, but this past week, he has been using it to visualize where to aim his kicks and punches. So either for playing or training, it will help your child for it.The seals (water and air) both are withstanding pressure without any issue.Not so goodI wouldn't really call it bad, since the manual does warn you but, it took me a bit to set it up correctly. Do yourself a favor and use a pump similar to those to inflate the air mattress from camping. I originally tried with a manual air pump and took me a while to fully inflate it.Also, you can use sand or water to set the weight. This means that if you want to set it up in your house, you may want to take care of that part outside to avoid any mess with water or sand.Other notes:When I saw the picture, I thought it was small (well, I would say kid size). However when we set it up it end up being fairly large. So you may want to measure your space if you think it may be a problem.For us, the size was fine, since my son is actually growing quick so he will be able to use it for a couple of years.Overall, my son has been very happy with this punching bag.

After a month of minimal usage the product started to leak air, stays inflated for like 20 min only, then I have to reinflate it.Not worth your money

I had to use an electric inflator to get any air to inflate, which I don't mind since I have one. So far, it feels quite solid. But if you weigh it down with water, it sloshes around a lot so the bag doesn't return properly. I weighed mind down with beach sand, but getting it balanced is difficult. Otherwise, it's a fine punching bag for the price.

I have a 7year old and 9 year old boy who both thought this was a fantastic item. It is taller then them both - so there is room for them to grow with this item.We filled the base with water- and are keeping it as an outdoor toy in the event that it ever ends up leaking.Two thumbs up all around this house hold.

It was really great for the first few days then we had to fill up with air continuously. It’s sort of useless now. Only recommend if your willing to continue to blow up.

Would not stay first and deflated by end of day.
