Movement Toys Guide

Mel here! I love nothing more than toys that get my kids moving. We live in Utah which means the winters can be LONG and it always makes me feel better to know my kids are staying active all winter long with toys that really engage. These toys are also so great for sensory regulation and I love that so many of them are perfect for open ended play.

1. Jungle Jumparoo: We have had the Jungle Jumparoo since the early days of Toy Testing Sisters, and it continues to sit at the top of the toy charts in our family. When friends come over, my girls bring all their friends to the Jumparoo immediately and they never want to get off! They have as much fun as they do on the trampoline, and I have the peace of mind knowing they are safe.

2. Stapelstein Elements: The Stapelstein Elements, at first glance, are colorful and sturdy stepping stones. But they are so much more than that. My 4 year old uses them to create obstacles or forts for her dolls, bowls to hold her treasures, and even furniture to sit on! They are beautiful to look at, durable to play with, and easy to clean up!

3. Climbing Dome: I’ve said it before and I will say it again: kids love to climb! I know that my climbing dome is made of the highest materials, so it’ll last generations! It is colorful without being overwhelming. At night my girls like to turn it into a fort and watch movies. Plus the assembly is a breeze and can be taken down and stored when we need a little more floor space.

4. Doorway Swing: Swings can sometimes be a pain to set up, but this one is so quick and easy- which is saying a lot because it comes with three different attachments! My 6 year old is on a big gymnastics kick right now so she loves the gym ring bar attachment, but my 4 year old favors the swing! It is too easy to go back and forth between the two.

5. 8 in 1 Indoor Jungle Gym: The Chestnut 8-in-1 indoor jungle gym solved my problem of going to the park in the winter- it brings the playground to you! Kids get maximum play out of this set, with 8 different pieces of equipment all in one space. It is foldable so you can conveniently pack it away when space is limited! I tell my friends that if they want a toy that can do it all, this is it!

6. Indoor Climbing Wall: Getting this climbing wall was one of the best decisions I made to encourage my kids to build both strength and confidence. Watching their little minds work to figure out how to get from point A to point B is transfixing and it is so satisfying for us all when they get it. They are so proud of themselves and can’t wait to change the holds to try other configurations! Code: TOYTESTINGSISTERS will save 5% at checkout.

7. Rocking Dome: I am a sucker for any toy that can be used in a variety of ways. The rocking dome can be a disk for kids to rock and spin around in, or it can be flipped over to be jumped and climbed on! My girls imagine the different sensory patterns etched into the dome as features in their dolls’ adventures.

8. 9 in 1 Swedish Wall Gym: Some kids are built to climb, and if that is the case for yours, then the Walnut 9-in-1 wall gym is the option for you! It is perfect for engaging the brain while promoting strength activities and bringing kids to new heights. I love how many options they have for play for our little monkeys.

9. Stretchy Sensory Swing: Swings are fun in general, but what makes this swing special is the sensory-deprivation effect it provides. My kids can snuggle up in the soft fabric and forget the world for a time as they subtly swing. I’m not going to lie, I’ve hidden in there a few times myself when I needed some peace and quiet.

10. Wobble Board: It is such a good practice to get your kiddos working on all kinds of balancing techniques at an early age! The wobble board provides a unique balancing challenge in its design, but it can be used for so much more! My 4 year old likes to flip it over to be a bridge for her dolls or a slide for our 1 year old. I’ve even practiced yoga on it, which adds a whole new level of difficulty.

11. The Original Nugget Play Couch: The Nugget going viral is no mystery to anyone who has it. Kids love having a couch their size, that they can easily manipulate in any way their imagination carries them! My girls’ favorite way to use the Nugget is building forts, but padding for their gymnastic routines comes as a close second!

12. The Nugget Chunk: The Nugget Chunk, like all Nugget products, is versatile, sleek and comfortable for my little ones. My 6 year old has gotten more into reading and prefers to build it into a lounger, but my 4 year old likes to use it as a table top for all her dolls to play on! I personally think it is the best footrest.

13. Bounce House Large: Smol did it again with the Tumble bounce house. It is the largest bounce house they offer, making it the perfect space for large parties! The tall walls make the parents happy, and the large slides make the kids happy. It is so easy to clean and keep stored away for whenever I am hosting a bunch of kiddos. Code: TOYTESTINGSISTERS will save at checkout.

14. Stairslide 6 pack: I will preach the stairslide from the top of any roof on any day. If you have stairs in your home, you need the stairslide. It is the easiest toy to assemble, and they have so many set size options to perfectly configure the slide to your stairs. Kids of all ages enjoy it, making it a forever-toy.

15. Trapeze Swing: I have had this swing hanging from my play room ceiling for years, and its durability cannot be overstated. It can hold anyone in our family, and my 6 year old doesn’t go a day without doing at least one flip on it!

16. Foam Ball Pit: Ball pits are a universally-adored toy, but not every day do kids get to play in one! Until you could put one in your home, that is. I no longer have to worry about losing my littles in those massive, dirty public ball pits now that I have one in my own playroom. The balls are made with the earth in mind, being bio-degradable and 100% recyclable! 

17. XL Climbing Triangle: This climbing set is so fun because of the various color options, its ease of setting up and taking down, and its versatility.  My 4 year old’s favorite thing to do with the Little Climber XL is  sending her little brother down the slide into our foam ball pit!

18. Sensory Swivel Chair: I finally reached the age where I can no longer spin my kids around without making myself sick, but my kids love to spin! I am so happy to have a toy that not only allows them to spin, but spin and twist in a way that helps train their vestibular function. Who knew that could be trained? The slight tilt on the chair adds so much to the experience that I did not expect.

19. Wooden Balance Beam: My little dancers were so excited to “graduate” from a beginner balance beam to one that felt a little more advanced. The Lily & River Little Gymnast balance beam gives kids the impression that they are higher off the ground, but keeps peace of mind for parents. The wooden beam better resembles real gymnast beams, making my girls feel like little gymnasts themselves.

20. Outdoor/Indoor Plastic Climbing Dome: Your backyard just got so much more fun. The Eezy Peezy climbing tower is perfect for climbing, but the top of the dome is its shining feature. A box made of monkey bars sits at the top, where my oldest spends the majority of the time, practicing flips and swinging from bar to bar!

21. Wooden Sit N Spin: If your kiddos enjoy any teacup or spinning ride at the parks, like mine do (to my dismay), this is the toy for them and you. Small and compact, the Sit n Spin provides the most dizzying fun a child can ask for. It is of the upmost importance for kids to get the most out of spinning while they can!

22. XL Pikler Triangle/Slide: If I was in the market for a toy that multiple littles could enjoy at once without breaking the bank or taking too much room, this one would be top of my list. The Honey Joy Triangle Climber is endless entertainment for kids, but it also encourages social interaction, which is huge for their social development.

23. Amazon Bounce House: Believe me, the viral bounce house is worth the hype. It is large enough for both my girls and I to comfortably play inside, while being small enough to fit in my living room! It is incredibly quick to inflate and deflate, and I have no problem packing it up- it is shockingly compact!

24. Pod Swing: I was so excited when I found out I could get a pod-style swing to put anywhere with swing hooks for our family to enjoy. The cotton-canvas material is comfortable, and there are so many cute colors to choose from! When I can’t find my 4 year old, I know where she is.. Slumbering or spinning in her pod swing!

25. Liquid Floor Tiles: I cannot accurately explain how satisfying these tiles are to play with. They are firm but have just enough give that you can move around the liquid inside. The feeling is addictive and my girls will run around on them forever. They like to pretend the floor is lava with them, or use the tiles as a playmat for whatever world they are building that day.

26. Connecting Balance Beams: Get your kiddos practicing their balance as soon as they can walk! These beams are so close to the floor so I don’t worry about injuries. They can also be configured in endless ways, maximizing creativity while challenging the body. Each platform is uniquely sensory to the feet, which my girls love. 

27. Stepping Stones: The rainbow stepping stones are bright and colorful stepping blocks for kids to create their own pretty path or obstacle course! The price point is just right for the value they provide, and the colorful stones are fun to take on outdoor adventures without fear of the elements ruining them. My girls like to use the stones as a path from toy to toy in our backyard. Code: TOYTESTINGSISTERS saves 10% at checkout.

28. Teeter Popper: What makes this balancing board unique is the suction cups along the bottom that make “pop!” noises whenever it moves. My 4 year old can’t get enough of simply rocking back and forth, enjoying the popping sounds while she watches a show or listens to music!

29. Starfish Balance: Combine a love for the ocean and balancing and what do you get? The Sea Life Starfish balance board is one of the cutest balancing toys I’ve seen, and can be played with in a variety of ways. My 4 year old likes to practice her balance on it while playing with other toys, and uses it as a backdrop for a lot of her pretend play scenes. She even named it and has it play a role sometimes!

30. Rainbow Chair: Moes knows how to do open-ended toys. The rainbow chair is so soft and light, making it easy to take apart and manipulate in all kinds of ways. My 6 year old will take her rainbow chair over a regular chair any day, and my 4 year old will steal it right from under her to make a velvety path to walk on!

31. Bounce House Obstacle Course: Renting bounce houses is in the past ever since Smol designed their genius bounce house. The obstacle course keeps my high-energy girls busy for hours while I need to get work done, and it easily fits in my backyard. I love setting it up for parties, especially since it only takes a few minutes! It has it all, making it the best party toy out there. Code: TOYTESTINGSISTERS saves at checkout.

32. Balance Board: I was stoked to find out that I could buy the Stapelstein Board separately to gift to all my kid’s friends! I trust this brand with my whole heart and this balancing board is greate for beginners. It’s light, sturdy, and easy to tuck away! The color options are endless, but my personal favorite is super confetti.

33. Swedish Wall Ladder: A more condensed version of the wall gym, the Betula wall ladder is the perfect compact, indoor climbing gym. With four different features, my 6 year old never fears getting bored. The ladder is challenging to the muscles and brain so she’s always working hard! Nestled against the wall, I don’t have to worry about it taking up common space.

34. Bilibo: The Bilibo is way more versatile than you’d think at first glance. I bought this toy thinking my girls would love to spin and crash in it, but turns out it can be used for all kinds of things! I’ve seen them incorporate it as a hat during dress-up, a bucket for digging up treasure, a seat, and even a bowl to eat out of.

35. Leo Mat Play Couch: The LeoMat play couch stands out with its large dimensions, patterned cover options, and a trifold technology unique to the brand. We get more play with more cushions, and the bigger dimensions are fun for my bigger girls who like to use the LeoMat as a bed for movie nights with the family! Code: TOYTESTINGSISTERS saves 10% at checkout.

36. Baby Turtles: There isn’t much in the world cuter than turtles, so Moes knew exactly what they were doing when they made their foam turtles. These adorable stepping stones can be added to your stepping stone collection, used for a sensory balancing experience, or imaginary play. My 4 year old thought they were the cutest things when we opened them, and now turtles are her favorite animals. They can be played with in or out of the water, and are washable and recyclable.

37. Stepping Stone Balance Boards: If you have invested in stepping stones for your kids you HAVE to get this fun addition. Basically it turns your stepping stones into balance ramps or boards. They also have a cook top variation that will replace any traditional kitchen. We think open ended play is the absolute best, and using these boards will just extend the reach of your stepping stones.

38. Outdoor Large Trampoline: I found the perfect outdoor trampoline, the JumpFlex Trampoline Hero! Its tall safety net maximizes my peace of mind, knowing so many whose bones have fallen victim to trampoline injuries! It is big enough for multiple kids to enjoy and I love that it includes a ladder so I don’t always have to help my kids up.

39. Foamman: This 4-foot tall foam man is the perfect punching back for kids in martial arts, sports, or who just need to let out some energy! There are 11 colors to choose from, and it is meant to last. The foam and covers are durable, and are so easy to clean. I recommend this toy to anyone who has a really active child and it is always such a game-changer!

40. Stapelstein Grow: Staplestein just got bigger and better! The Grow Elements are twice the size of the original. I was actually shocked when I unboxed them! They are meant for the whole family to enjoy, inside or out! Our inaugural activity was using them for the floor is lava in our backyard, and it was a blast! We brought out the originals and the minis, and made the most colorful obstacle course I’ve ever seen. Ideas are endless with this staple toy, but some favorite ways my kids use them are drums, seat spinners, and stepping stones.

41. Toddler Mini Trampoline: Personal trampolines are a must, especially when a large trampoline isn’t feasible or safety is a concern. The Foldable Mini Trampoline is the perfect size for all kids to enjoy, and so easy to fold up and put away, making it the perfect trampoline for a small space. My 6 year old loves using the bar to get her feet as high as possible while staying safe!

Play Food and Kitchens Toy Guide

Mandy here! I know you would think we don't need a separate guide for this...but we do! There are so many options out there and we wanted to share our favorites with you. We've learned that if you invest in quality pieces from the start they last you a LOT longer!

Shop All Holiday Guides

1. Ice Cream Counter: My kids would eat ice cream every single day if they could, but this is the next best thing! My 7 year old asks me for my ice cream order every single morning, making me use the menu. The scoop is so creative and fun to use. I think she found her future high school job!

2. Play Dishes: Pretend food could cause quite a mess without some dishes! I bought this for my 18-month old as a way to help her learn about different dishes and to practice using a fork. But my 7-year-old is the one who has taken them over. She enjoys washing them while I wash our dishes and using them for all her “food parties”.

3. Cinnamon Roll Set: A Sunday tradition in my household growing up was store-bought cinnamon rolls for breakfast. This toy immediately brought me back to those memories and I had to get it for my kids! We have so much fun rolling up the dough like you would in real life and plopping them in the oven that also doubles as a storage container.

4. Picnic Basket and Foods: Oh my gosh this wooden picnic basket is too cute with its gingham lining and table cloth and adorable pieces. My 7 year old loves hosting picnics for her friends. I promise you, your kids will be begging to go on a picnic soon after getting this toy, and you should take them up on it!

5. BBQ Station: Summer is filled with grilling in our household, and my 9 year old son has always been fascinated by the contraption. He would ask my husband all the time to help him grill, so we got him his own grill to practice. The “flames” that he could turn up and down with a dial were by far his favorite part. I personally love how many food options they provide? Pizza, burgers, hot dogs, stakes, corn, and more.

6.  Drink Dispenser: My kids have seen me drink a Diet Coke every day since they were born. Naturally, that made them curious about drinks so I love that they have a toy where they can make their own! I love the pretend ice cubes, and the way that the drink inserts plop into the cup is so satisfying.

7. Hape BBQ: We love the Hape BBQ set because of its compact design and storage feature! My 7 year old loves the Hape BBQ set because of the sizzling sound it makes. No matter which way you slice it, this toy is a win! The kabobs you can make with all different veggies and meat are too cute that even I want to play with it.

8. Burger and Fries Set: Pretend food toys don’t have to be massive with dozens of pieces to be full of fun! My children die for a good burger joint. They especially enjoy carrying the tray for me, to my dismay. But they can carry this tray all day long! It is just as fun for them, and far less stressful to me. The dipping sauce is such a thoughtful addition because my kids will not eat fries plain.

9. Baked Goods: There is nothing better than a home filled with the smell of freshly baked bread. Just after that is an adorable basket filled with wooden baked goods for your kids to play with! They’re the perfect addition to any play kitchen or table set, with enough bread for all the kiddos to share.

10. Cool Scoops Creamery: My 7 year old is obsessed with her Ice Cream Counter, so we decided to upgrade her imaginary ice cream shop and get her the Melissa & Doug Cool Scoops Ice Cream Creamery. With ice cream sandwiches, chocolate syrup, and a register, your kiddos will live out all their ice cream dreams!

11. Little Tykes Play Kitchen: I think the color and design of this play kitchen is so cute, especially with the chalkboard in front and foldable cutting board ledge. It manages to provide so much play in such a compact size. The stove actually lights up and it comes with so many accessories that it really is such an incredible value

12. Pizza Oven: Okay this may seem like a crazy statement but when I needed something to help my kids eat pizza with anything more than cheese, this toy came to the rescue. They quickly realized that making a cheese pizza over and over was boring and warmed up to all the different toppings this set provides. They couldn’t get enough of the countless creations they could make and would have me try all of them! Now a supreme pizza is all they order on pizza night.

13. Fat Brain Cookies and Milk: The Fat Brain Milk and Cookies set is a simple, effective, and inexpensive option for pretend food play. My 7 year old will bring this set out to have “Cookie Time” with her best friend and they get such a kick out of taking turns taking the cookies out of the cookie jar!

14. Hape Kitchen & Fridge Bundle If your kids enjoy playing in the kitchen as much as mine do, they’re going to need their own kitchen to play in. This two-piece kitchen is completely immersive, complete with a sink, stove, plenty of storage, and a spice shelf! It is well designed and sturdy enough for me to keep for years!

15. Rubber Fruits: If your little ones have a hard time eating their fruits, first: they are not alone. Second, this simple toy could help! Made for smaller toddlers, I made sure to get this for my 18-month old. It has helped her better identify fruits and has even started pointing the real ones out when we go to the grocery store!

16. Felt Foods: We love our Wool Felt Foods because they provide a unique sensory experience for our kids. We bring them on road trips and to church and enjoy the peace that comes with their quiet fun. With so many set options online, your kids can start a little collection for them and their dolls! Code: TOYTESTINGSISTERS saves 10%

17. Silicone Tea Set: This tea set doesn’t have to be all pretend, which is great as my kids get older and want to have real tea parties. They are dishwasher safe and safe to drink from, so my 7 year old started having real tea parties with her cousins and I feel at peace knowing that nothing will break or hurt them.

18. Matching Eggs: My toddler eats eggs like candy, so I was stoked when I came across this egg matching game! The carton it comes in is so fun and she has a blast trying to mix and match all the eggs. It is also a great opportunity for me to teach her shapes and colors.

19. Play Candy: Kids and candy just go together. Especially when the candy isn’t real! We recently watched Willy Wonka as a family and my kids loved the vintage-style candy, so this wooden candy set is a dream for them. I had to get them each their own set or else they’d fight over the lollipop!

20. Magnetic Fruit Felts: These magnetic fruits keep my toddler busy for hours. At first I was worried that she was being so quiet, but it turns out she was soaking up the sensory experience of the felt magnets. It is so cute watching her practice saying the names of the fruits while placing them on the fridge or any surface, really.

21. Food Play Stones: Dearest reader, I cannot emphasize enough how much I love these food stones. The physical weight to them is so satisfying, and they truly are beautiful. Each stone is unique to a different culture, adding to the beauty! They are durable enough to be used indoors and outdoors, which my kids love to take advantage of.

22. Shopping Cart: I have so much fake food filling my basement that I decided I might as well make it a grocery store down there. The Melissa & Doug shopping cart is such a fun way to use the foods in a different way and enhance imaginary play. It is also the perfect storage for when the kids aren’t playing with their food!

23. Taco Making Kit: The best food in the world must have a toy in its honor. These pretend tacos are almost as good as the real thing. Your kids can create the ultimate taco or nachos and even send their friends with their food in a carry-out bag! Whenever we celebrate Taco Tuesday, we bring out the taco kit for our toddler to participate fully in the preparation!

24. Tinyland Play Kitchen: Tinyland has proven that play kitchen can be both adorable and functional! It is unbelievably cute but also has so many features for the kids to spend hours playing with. My toddler personally can’t get enough of the satisfying “click” the knobs make. There is plenty of storage for all the accessories that come with it, so keeping the space clean is easy!

25. Farmers Market: Education should be fun and this color sorting set is one of the best I’ve seen catered to toddlers. I got this for my little one because she loves food and she loves sorting. So instead of her re-arranging all of my beauty products, she can sort these fruits and veggies and get even more out of it. It didn’t take long before she mastered the different colors!

26. Cake: Every child’s kitchen needs a birthday cake! And this one is incredibly charming, with various aspects of childhood baked into the design. The popcorn edging, sprinkle middle and striped candles make for a dream cake for kiddos. Le Toy Van has a wide array of similarly cute pretend foods that you can collect as well as play with!

27. Table and Chairs: Once my kids started climbing up on furniture I knew I needed to get them their own set of table and chairs. I think the wood design is tasteful, and the rounded edges keep my mind at ease. It is a great value for what you get and doesn’t take up too much room with the ability to fit all four chairs underneath.

28. Play Kitchen Accessories: I couldn’t believe how many pieces this set included at the cost. They aren’t painted so they give off a very simple and clean look, and I know they are safe for my toddler. She loves to put her wooden foods on them and fill her bowls with rice, dry cereal, and beans for a full sensory experience.

29. Costway Play Kitchen: The Costway kitchen is sleek and realistic, with the water dispenser making light and sound, enhancing the immersive experience. My 7 year old loves to wash her dishes in the sink and cook all of her veggies in the pot and pan provided! The adorable vintage phone is a bonus- I loved showing my kids what we had before cell phones!

30. Chocolate Factory: After my kids watched the new Wonka movie they immediately asked if they could learn how to make chocolate like Wonka at home. Thank goodness for Melissa & Doug because they have an amazing pretend chocolate factory! They love mix and matching the fillings with the shells, and packing them up in the gift wrap to sell their customers.

31. Wooden Vending Machine: Mothers know best that kids love pushing buttons! This cause-and-effect toy is so great for small kids who are developmentally learning the concept. But it is also great for bigger kids who want their own vending machine to get treats out of! It comes with 9 play snacks, but nothing is stopping your kids from putting real snack packs or juice boxes inside, as long as they fit!

32. Wooden Bakery: Who knew one toy could employ so many children at once? The Wooden La Patisserie Bakery is designed for bakers, cashiers, and customers to enjoy the wooden and foam desserts. My girls switch off rolls, sometimes rolling up the croissants or frosting the cupcakes, while the other takes the orders and payment from the customer. There is so much fun to be had with this interactive toy.

33. Magnetic Foods: Watching my 7 year old plan her own meals using these realistic food and dish magnets is such a sweet experience. She learns about different meals, what foods go well with each other, and can even practice setting a table. I love how easy they are to clean and that a wide variety of foods are represented.

34. Wooden Tea Set: I thought it was time for my almost-2 year old to experience the joy of tea time, so I couldn’t wait to get her this set. The tea cookies, lemons and tea bags are such a fun detail to really bring the experience to life. And it is just too cute that we have to display it in her room!

35. Fresh Market: I want my children to grow up eating whole, healthy foods. Getting them a pretend food toy that only consists of stuff you’d find at a farmer’s market is great for instilling healthy habits! They can create a gorgeous charcuterie board to serve to all their friends!

36. Play Sink: My 7 year old loves washing dishes. She always asks to help me when we are cleaning up dinner, so  when I saw this functional sink, I knew I had to get it. All it takes is the push of a button for the faucet to fill up the sink, and then it drains back into the basin when done! I love that my kids are at that age where they can learn a new skill and have fun with it.

4. Hovervoard: I remember when hoverboards came out and were all the rage for a few years, and for good reason! Riding a Gotrax Hoverboard is a totally unique sensation, challenging balance and coordination since there are no handles! It has a max speed of 6.2 miles per hour, and can ride up to 6 miles on a single charge. It is great for indoor and outdoor use, but we love to use it mainly for family walks in the neighborhood! If your kid has good balance, they can enjoy at age 5-teen! Make sure to wear a helmet.

The lift can carry up to 22 lbs and has a max load of 80 lbs. For ages 3-8.

7. Electric Cargo Family Bike: Cars are so last year. Next time you want to drive up the canyon or run to the grocery store for the necessities, pack up one or two of your kiddos and hop on the Rad Wagon 4 Electric Cargo Bike! All Rad Bikes are rigorously tested to meet the strictest of safety standards, so I feel completely safe riding with my littles. The bike can handle a whopping 350 lbs, and you can add on a childseat, caboose, and more! I’ve taken my girls on adventures up and down the canyons near me, and I didn’t realize how much I would appreciate being able to all share one bike. The range is 45 miles and has a top speed of 20 mph

8. Crazy Cart: If your kiddos have ever played MarioKart, they will know the joys of drifting! The Razor Crazy Cart has a simplified drifting system, making it so the driver is always in control and balanced while they spin circles around the street! There are two different speed settings you can easily switch between for kids of different ages or comfort levels. For ages 6+ up to 120 lbs.

9. Electric Balance Bike:  With a max speed of 8 mph, it’s the perfect way littles to explore the neighborhood, and the adjustable seat makes it easy for them to take turns. The range is roughly 7.5 miles on a single charge, more than enough for  them to ride to our local park and back! This is agreat for kids who have mastered the balance bike and now want to cruise.

10. Dune Buggy: The Freddo Dune buggy is not only visually awesome, but functionally, too! This vehicle stands out as an all-terrain vehicle, thanks to its EVA tires and suspension system. It has MP3, USB, and Bluetooth capabilities, leather seats, and lasts between 8-12 hours per charge! For ages 3-10. Important to point out this is 24V!

11. Electric Skateboard: Your little skater will be the envy of the skate park with the Meepo Electric Skateboard. With a wicked top speed of 28 mph, this board is definitely recommended for teens and adults, but is also crafted in a way that beginners can ease into skateboarding by switching through its 4 different riding modes. It is designed for college commuting or riding around the city, with a motor that is IPX5 waterproof and a range of 11 miles. Max weight is 330 lbs.
