Certainly a Knock-out Posted 01 January 2008
These toys are excellent for teaching lessons to children. My son wanted to challenge my decision to do chores around the house and I told him (8 yrs old) that if you want to challenge my decisions that you can make a challenge of it. He chose the Sock'em Boppers as his weapons of choice. We went into the back yard and he kept trying to throw low blows, so I finally decided to punch back. Two bops later her was knocked out cold in the back yard. He got up a few minutes later and then went and did his chores, the Sock'em boppers had not damage to them. They were thoroughly durable. Since then I have been able to resolve other issues with them and him successfully. I highly recommend these as an educational tool for your children, much can be learned from a friendly whooping! I am buying another set though as after a few months they are worn out. They are certainly worth the money.
Fun, but not durable Posted 16 January 2006
My three year old enjoyed this toy immensely while it lasted. Unfortunately, two pairs popped within a couple of days of owning them. If they were more durable, I would have voted higher.
Sock em Boppers Posted 15 January 2006
This is a great toy to take out childhood frustration, and to just have fun. My only wish was that I should have gotten two sets instead of one.
Pillow Fighting time with Sock'em Boppers Posted 27 November 2005
I was able to get my hand inside to test this out, but adult use is not recommended as this is intended for children only, as it could cause injury. Using excessive force to remove a hand from the chamber poses a risk. If there is a problem getting a hand out it is advised to deflate first. The chamber cushions the wrists and hands of my children inside the pillow. This also comes with a small patch in case of puncture. The valves are easy to fasten and can be opened and released for deflating. This is made of 12-qauge vinyl with the logo on the top part of the Sock'em Boppers.
With either choice to inflate the Sock'em Boppers you will need to avoid over inflating and should stop before filling it too tightly with air. When the hand has been inserted you just need to make a fist and this will keep the pillow secure in the hand of the child playing. It does not hurt when you are punched by the Sock'em Boppers and let's kids get rambunctious in a fun productive way. Caution children when playing not to hit near the face and eyes and to avoid sharp and hot objects when using the pillows. This is not a flotation device.
The box also lists two games for kids to play, consisting of tight rope bop and one foot sock for alternative ideas. My two children are enjoying this freestyle play, plus my older son likes to take breaks from doing homework and can take out his frustrations in a fun and appealing manner.
When using this outdoors take note of any hooks you might have on fences and stay in the middle of the yard. This would work well for boys and girls for parties and events at the park. The recommended age is from five to twelve. This is one of those As Seen on TV items that is worth purchasing, good for when kids are cooped up indoors when it is raining or snowing.
We just picked up another box over the Thanksgiving weekend. Both my kids have autism and enjoy playing with the boppers. My ten year old easily pumped them both up. The only downside is where to store them.
Only one set per box Posted 11 November 2005
I just wanted to note that there is only one set per box. I bought one box for my 3 kids last Christmas. Needless to say, it was difficult to play with. They made due and shared. This year I'll be buying more.
