Well, we are the inventor and the manufacturer and currently its only available from us. You should think about buying from us if you appreciate that your SpinStick was made in AMERICA using AMERICAN materials and AMERICAN workers. Buy from us if you appreciate a high QUALITY product that has been invented and hand crafted by a small company. Buy from us if you want to "Spin More Time Together" TM with your family!
SpinSticks are made to last more than 10 years, in fact the lucky kids getting spun today could be spinning their grand-kids on the same toy many generations from now! They are made with many high quality materials and will not break like most imported toys. At the AZ State Fair we gave rides to over 4,000 kids and adults using only one SpinStick, other than a few scratches in the handle we feel this toy could easily survive another 10,000 rides.
Yes. They will get outside with other people and laugh. This is a great way for
families to "Spin more time together"TM
The SpinStick spins around in circles just like kids love but it also allows kids to just hold on and go for a ride like when they are at their favorite amusement park! Most sit and spin toys are not rated for over a 40 pound rider because they are plastic, while our toy is tested to withstand over 150 pounds continuously because it is made out of aircraft aluminum and wood.
Many games can be a lot more fun with a SpinStick. Pin the tail on the donkey, Balls into baskets, Pouring water into cups, Dizzy bat, and Sandy beach games are all much more fun while dizzy! Using more than one SpinStick at a time allows the dizzy passengers to compete in different games together, prepare to laugh your heart out during family functions!
The SpinStick is the most fun when used outside in open areas with grass. Using the SpinStick indoors on large open carpeted areas should also be fine if used with caution. Do not operate the SpinStick around anything that is hard, sharp, breakable, glass or anything else that could could injure a person especially when dizzy! Do not use the SpinStick on slick or hard surfaces such as but not limited to tile, concrete, and wood.
There is a warranty for your peace of mind, but it's not going to break under normal use.
To date we have NEVER had a toy break or bend-even when we spun over 300 pounds on it for testing purposes! The SpinStick is made to last.
When the spinning passenger moves (wobbles) their head away from the pole, they are usually done. The passengers should also communicate to you they are ready to stop.
We have found out that most kids up to 14 enjoy spinning. If your child gets sea sick, car sick, or motion sickness then this product is probably not for them. Think of the Tea Cup Ride at an amusement park, if they like that then they will love this!
Right Here! We are the inventor/designer/manufacturer and as of right now this is the only place to purchase this quality AMERICAN MADE toy.
We have been informed that highly functioning children with Asperger's syndrome really love the SpinStick. Please read the next question below to obtain more information for children that are in the Autistic Spectrum.
My child is in the Autistic Spectrum, can they use the SpinStick?

There are 5 main types of Autism, they included Asperger syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), Autistic Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Syndrome, and Rett Syndrome.
We have been approached by parents, educators and therapists that have children with different levels of Autistic Spectrum Disorders and they want to use our product. It depends on the child's abilities and skills, you should definitely obtain the approval of the child's doctor and therapist before you decide to put a child with any type of medical condition or disability on the SpinStick.
