The Gonge Roller is a unique motor activity object that stimulates children’s dynamic balance and coordination in multiple ways. It offers a progressive motor skills challenge, from small kids who are just managing to keep their balance to older children pushing the boundaries of what they can do without falling off. The Gonge Roller is safe to use, as the compression of its rubber tyres naturally reduces the speed while making play virtually silent and protecting the ground surface from damage.

The jury says
A very appealing and exciting tool for playing and learning – the more our motor skills are challenged, the better our brain works and the better we learn. The Gonge Roller works in a very intriguing way: The heavier the user is, the more friction the device creates, meaning it has the same speed regardless of the user’s weight. It is a great solution, both aesthetically, functionality and production. Children and grownups may play on equal footing, which adds significantly to the quality of life of the family.
