How does this compare to the junior Kip with extension?

I don't know much about the junior Kip with extension, however, we love the free standing horizontal bar. We put a couple of sand bags on legs and mats down. Our daughter is 7 now and has had no problems. I even did a trick on the bar and it did not move. Ours is indoor so no way to anchor it down, hence the sand bags.

I don't know about the comparison, but I love our bar. I teach PE and its strong enough to hold me 150 lbs so I am able to demonstrate moves on the bar, and then the kids go on it. The 5 yr olds climb up on the support bar on the side to get up. Sturdy construction, but light enough to move around easily.

I found this blog post that does an excellent comparison of the two models. Hope it helps others trying to make sense of things!<http://talesofamountainmama.com/review/kid-cos-new-2013-peapod-and-peapod-plus-comparison>

I would recommend to go for regular one for age 8. I bought both for my boys now turn 7 last year. Regular presents more challenge for them particularly in the higher level. So they are on the right level on Advance of Jr. and lower level of regular version.

Pierce, No I didn't. I only had the K3 Junior. But I must say this jig is good and I am using it to make Kitchen cabinet and am quite happy with it.

The 4930 cost more, is 5" smaller, and the controls are arranged differently. Other than that, I don't see much of a difference in the two. If you are looking for a model that will circulate the air in the room with some efficiency, keep it cool, and has simple to understand buttons, the cheaper of the two will work for you. I use mine in my masterbed room and that's a good 11' x 19'. Mine has kept my room well cooled during the hot summer months and keeps it cool. It works best in an area on the floor that it won't get knocked over by rowdy kids or out of control pets. Though my cats bumped me into mine and I knocked my over and no damage done. Works perfectly like the day I bought it. You just don't want to knock over any fan no matter what and place it on a firm level surface for best stability. Just my words of wisdom there, or call it the voice of experience. Save the extra cash and go for the model #4443 I'm sure you won't be terribly disappointed with the purchase.

If you can stretch your budget than go for Furby Boom. Else Furby will not disappoint you if you haven't own any before. Source : http://info.roosterbank.com/furby-boom-vs-furby-2-0-a-parent-guide/

He may be smart, but it can be frustrating if everything is too challenging. Go junior, and trade up later. It is way fun! Enjoy!

The regular Companion has a slightly thinner blade and a slightly smaller handle diameter with less of a "belly". This one is made for those working the building trades: in Europe they use these instead of a utility knife. If it seems your kid is going to grow up to have big hands then this is fine. It's also fine if thats not the case, as is the size on the regular companion. For most people it's more a matter of personal preference. Mora's site has specs/drawings that show the differences between them.

I own both models, I find the newer one to be sturdier and a little more thought out. It feels a little bigger too. The wiring is more secure, the control is lighter so puts less stress on the wires should the clip come off your clothing. The storage case protects the AfterShokz when not in use. The charger is by micro USB and not plugging it into the old USB connector. I feel overall it is an improvement.

My mother is under 5 feet tall with painful osteoarthritis. She loves her Junior Rollator. Can't compare to what you have now, since I'm not familiar with that model, but don't find any faults with the Junior.

no, this one worked fine. I also have gotten that with the cheap extensions. This one is not cheap.

I do not know how they compare, however the large one is adorable and our 3 yr grandson loves it. So far it has been an indoor toy and we have heard no complaints from our daughter in law.

No. The iKross extension is a great device to keep kids easy and having fun. I love it

My 8 year old plays the regular version and loves it. There are many levels of difficulty and he has already mastered quite a few so I think the Jr. Would have been too easy for him.

I think so. My son uses this at his hospital-based Physical Therapy, so I'm confident that it's well-made and going to last a long time. IME (over 15 years with the department), they're not going to waste limited funding and buy cheap/chintzy. It's something they use several times each day, AND frequently is adjusted for different sized kids. My son been using it there weekly for about 6 months, it gets HEAVY use by the program, and is in excellent shape. Based on that, we're going to purchase one for him for Christmas -- it's an investment, yes, but since he fits it on the "shortest" setting, I expect we'll get plenty of time out of it. I think so.

I can't compare it to the Rip It, but both of my girls use this and we are very happy. One of my daughters is picky about how things feel, and she had no complaints with this one.

Definitely go with the scooter with the t-bar that increases with height. Not the mini...the regular micro kick with tbar is one of the best and my son is tall too so it adjusts with height. It's worth every cent. It's also one if the scooters all kids use in nyc at these ages and older. It's all you see!
