Do you have an active kid, or one stuck indoors? Possibly due to a pandemic? This was the reason I bought this and my 4 year old has tackled, hit, punched, body slammed, rolled with, picked up, and pretty much beat this thing silly- not in an angry way but it the fun 'i'm fighting a dinosaur and I can pretty much bounce off it without a scratch and mom won't yell at me for hitting it!' way. I'm telling you it paid for itself the very first night I blew it up and he wrestled it for an entire evening. For the first time in weeks all that naughty pent up energy had an outlet and he went to bed tired. It's fun and durable! Definitely recommend.
