Z Athletic Kids Balance Beam and Cartwheel Trainer Folding Mat for Gymnastics and Tumbling

My daughter was having a hard time learning to do a cartwheel. I got her this mat and she got the cartwheel down in two days. The pink color is perfect for my daughter and the size is great since we can move it to different rooms easily and store it. It is super easy to fold and my daughter can put it away. The matting is very cushioned so she does not hurt herself.

Love it great for beginners

My toddler loves it and it has the handprints just like her mat at gymnastics. We have had it several months now and it has held up from being a tumbling mat and a pretend tent (haha).

Nice fold up mat with markings for cartwheels and balance beam practice. Loved that it came in different colors as our 3 year grandaughter loves purple.

VERY STRONG SMELL THAT TAKES SEVERAL WEEKS TO DISSIPATE!!! However, once/if you get past that this is an amazing product and leaves my kids having hours of safe gynmastic fun! I love the versatility of the balance beam side as well as the outlines to encourage the cartwheel! Kids are thrilled and the smell, while strong, never seemed to bother them. We've had the product since mid May and I only this week (early July) realized I no longer smell the mat when I enter the room where is is used.

My main concern before ordering was that I could not visualize the size. I've attached a photo for comparison. I am 5' 1'". Use this mat for children up to 3/4 of my own height. Any taller, and they will need to position their feet to start off the mat, land hands on mat, and then finish off mat. In that case, the printed feet still help the taller girls position their feet off the mat.Secondary concern was reading another person's review on that it was too squishy it was dangerous to use. I disagree. I use this mat to help teach little ones who are terrified of tumbling, not for regular tumbling use. The extra softness encourages them to actually try because it is softer than the other mats!I would recommend to put this on top of additional mats since the cartwheel mat is so narrow. Tumble straight or die :POverall, still glad I purchased it! Two girls have gotten their cartwheels because of this mat and several more are very close to overcoming their fear!

Perfect for the grandkid learning to tumble.

I like this mat...it could be just a bit bigger. However it is really soft, doesn't have much pad too it at all. Needs a firmer padding in it. Seems like if my students attempt a cartwheel and fall, they go all the way to the floor. So maybe I should say it's not soft enough. The padding really needs to be firmer like a tumbling mat. But the size and design is great and I like the beam on the flip side.
