Frequently Asked Questions
Which balance beam is best for beginners?
For beginners and young children, we recommend the Foam Foldable Beam ($220). It sits directly on the floor with no height, so there's zero fall risk. For slightly older beginners who want a soft, portable option, the Inflatable Air Beam ($240) is also excellent.
What age can children start using a balance beam?
Children as young as 2-3 years old can start with the foam foldable beam for basic walking and balance activities. The inflatable air beam is suitable from age 3+, and the adjustable beam is best for ages 5+ as skills develop.
Can I use a balance beam on carpet?
Yes, all three of our beams work on carpet. The foam beam and air beam sit flat on any surface. The adjustable beam has rubber feet that grip both hard floors and carpeted surfaces.
Should I put a mat under the balance beam?
For the adjustable beam, yes — we recommend placing an air floor mat or tri-fold mat underneath for safety during dismounts. For the foam and air beams, a mat isn't necessary since they're floor-level.
