My kids 9, 7, & 3 all love this. They mostly like to run and then jump into it, making it swing. It seems pretty darn sturdy. The lights inside are a very fun touch. It does alright in the rain even, you just need to drain the bottom part of it. I wish they'd sit inside it to hang out more like I intended as there's plenty of room for two tots in there, but they seem mostly interested in swinging around in it and that's fine too. We've had it three months now with no problems.
