The Spirohop: A Fun Seesaw

by

Spirohop

Do you remember back in the day going to the park and using the teeter totter? Errr, maybe that should be the seesaw. Whatever the case may be your probably know exactly what I’m talking about. It was the one thing in the playground that no matter how fun it was you had to have someone else sitting at the other end for it to work. Right? They’ve got a new seesaw in town called the Spirohop, but lets go back a bit.

Think back, the original seesaws were made of metal and if it was too hot you’d burn your butt/legs or if it was too cold you’d freeze. Be careful not to get stuck to it from frostbite. Either way there were even more things to be wary of when using the seesaw.

Getting off- with this you hoped to be the first one off otherwise you could go smashing down to the ground. If you got off you had to very carefully lower it for the other person. Or both of you, assuming you were the same height had to make it even on both sides and get off at the same time.

Hitting the Ground - As one went up into the air the other came smashing to the ground. Either you were going to hurt your bottom or another area of great importance or you could accidentally get your foot smashed underneath. Hey, it happens I know.

Well Baby Gadget has found a new type of seesaw, it’s the Shirohop. The Shirohop actually has a soft, bouncy ball under the bottom of the seesaw where you sit. So instead of slamming into the ground now you will softly bounce off the ground and back into the air. This product might be a bit smaller compared to the local playground seesaw but it is much safer.
