Disappointed, but would reconsider for a toddler
Sadly I had to return this.  Was looking forward to gifting it but it was bent.  It’s seems to be made of the same material the pool noodles are made from which would be good for a toddler.  Less injury for sure for a beginner but this did not have a flat top, it was rounded.  May reconsider in the future for a toddler birthday gift with parents approval.
