We’ve all heard the cliché phrase “beautiful bouncing baby boy” (or girl!), and now a New Zealand couple has devised a way to make babies and young children literally “bounce” while developing the coordination and balance they need for healthy crawling, walking, and running.
Inspired by their son Andrew, the Springbug exercise toy was inspired after watching him happily play on old couch springs about to go out to the trash. Putting their heads together, they came up with this exercise toy designed for kids aged 1-4 years old. Able to teach balance and coordination to both physically able children as well as those mentally or bodily challenged, the Springbug is a colorful mess of coils and handles, engaging all of the child’s senses.

The Springbug requires no maintenance and are durable to last through the love of more than one child. They have been in hot demand in New Zealand and are now available internationally on a variety of websites. Avoid cheaply made and dangerous bounce toys and rocking horses, when you can instead improve your child’s motor skills and keep them save at the same time!
