From the brand

At Kangaroo Hoppers, we believe childhood is built on boundless energy and fearless exploration. Our gymnastics mats and equipment aren’t just products—they’re springboards for growth! Designed for kids to leap, and tumble, transforming homes, backyards, and gyms into playgrounds of possibility.

Beyond gymnastics, other products also spark curiosity, blending physical play with mental challenges.

Measure your child's height first. As a general rule, choose a mat at least 12 inches longer than your child's height. For example, a child who is 43 inches tall fits the Large size at 56 inches long. (If your child is a professional gymnast). But if your child is just starting gymnastics, a mat equal to or slightly longer than their height can work. When in doubt, size up — the extra length provides more room and more years of use.

This mat is a training wedge, not a crash pad, so the surface is intentionally firm and supportive. A stable surface is necessary for building proper gymnastics technique and muscle memory. The firmness is similar to what is used in gymnastics training facilities. For children practicing high-impact dismounts where they may fall from height, placing a soft landing mat at the end of the wedge is recommended for added protection.

This mat uses high-density EPE foam that holds its shape through repeated use, while lower-priced mats often use lower-density foam that can flatten and develop soft spots over time. The cover is made of tear-resistant PVC leather that is fully removable via two YKK zippers for washing or replacement — budget mats typically have fixed thin covers that crack and trap odors. The four handles are reinforced and anchored into the foam core, and all seams are double-stitched at stress points.

This mat is designed for children ages 1 to 12. The Small size suits toddlers ages 1 to 3 for crawling and rolling. The Medium size suits beginners ages 3 to 6 for cartwheels and forward rolls. The Large size suits young gymnasts ages 5 to 12 for back walkovers and complex skills. Adults can also use the Large size for Pilates and stretching.

Yes. The non-slip base grips securely on hardwood, tile, laminate, and low-pile carpet. For extra stability on very slick surfaces, place a yoga mat or non-slip rug pad underneath.
