Jumping stilts are generally safe, but it is important that you supervise him while he is jumping, and make sure he takes all the precautions that any adult jumper would take (ie. Proper ground surface, not many cars or people around, etc.) The children's stilts are designed so their feet are not so high off the ground, and they can usually jump up to 4 feet, unlike the adult models which have a maximum jumping ability of 7 feet. Most weight ranges for the children's stilts start at 60 lbs. but you may want to get the springs for a 70 pound child because when he grows a little it is important that he doesn't have springs that are under his weight range.
