I bought 3 of these for a preschool setting, and they're super tough! While they're rated to 150 pounds, they can take at least 200 without squatting or showing other signs of stress; in fact, on the first day the first one was out, all of the adult staff had to try it out first, "to show the kids!" LOL I then bought more, figuring that how often do you find toys that both preschoolers and staff can ride on?! Most of these preschoolers have disabilities, but even those without enough strength to push themselves enjoy being pushed on these, because the smooth bearings make for a great ride on the smooth, flat surface of the "gym." Kids with splints or whose legs are too short can ride with their feet on the T-bar connecting the handlebars and, again, enjoy a great ride.I have to say, however, being of the old, stiff, and fat sort of human, that I wish Mason would make a bigger, taller model for us adult types. The current seat is just right for large and small behinds, but not the legs!
Edit: I've since found it useful to cross my legs at the ankles, then put them on the rollers. It "shortens" my legs without having to cut them off at the knees. :D I'm about 5'8". Other staffers were racing each other on the Roller Racers last week, so it IS possible!!
