As a child I owned a pogo stick but my favourite toy was a Lolo Ball – remember them?
The Lolo ball was a seamless figure-8 rubber ball locked into a structurally supported, sturdy plastic platform. To play with it, you stand on the plastic platform, balancing your weight on the bottom portion of the rubber ball, and jump around like a maniac.
Now there is a new toy in town, the Zoingo Boingo!
The Zoingo Boingo is a fantastic flexible freestyle pogo that can be used on pavement or grass and is a cross between a lolo ball and a pogo stick and features a rugged stretchable cord that tethers the handle to the durable high bounce ball, which fits into a plastic footplate to help you bounce your cares away.
The tethered chord and bounce ball work together to produce high energy rebounds and great control, manoeuverability and even tricks.
It is not often a toy captures the imagination of the kids like this did. I had ALL my neighbours children in my garden trying to master this, with Kian showing them how it was done. I am proud to say that it was us Mum’s that had this nailed before the kids got the hang of it – years of practice of those Lolo balls I am sure.

If you a looking for a toy that will challenge the kids and get them outside and exercising then this is it. We have had some bouncing challenges and have got to well over a 100 bounces each which is great exercise and fun too.
I remember using a pogo stick when I was younger. It was tiring! !
This looks like loads of fun I think I had a Lolo ball when I was younger.
This looks like so much fun – though I have a feeling I would end up hurting myself!
This looks like so much fun but i think I would break my neck!! Lol
This looks like so much fun! I love the idea of doing challenges with it. It is always easy to exercise when it is fun 🙂
I want one!! I used to love my pogo stick when I was little 🙂
I had a pogo stick and one of these without the handle and would spend hours going up and down the drive x
That looks like so much fun! I had a pogo stick as a kid but never one of these, just wait till L is old enough we will be getting one!
I saw this on your Instagram the other week and made me smile, you looked so professional at it! I would love to try this, could do with some exercise in the comfort of my own back garden.xx
