Is the Cheap Plastic Jump Rope from Discount Store worth buying?

This rope costs less than a coffee, but you’ll need a coffee to recover from the frustration it causes. So there you have it — five jump ropes that (mostly) survived my daughter’s after-school energy assault. My advice? Start with the beaded or the adjustable tangle-free one if you want a rope that’ll actually last. And if you try an LED rope, just know it’s more for fun than for fitness. If your kid is anything like mine, they’ll jump until they collapse — and that’s a win. Got a rope your kid loves? Let me know in the comments. I’m always looking for the next thing that’ll tire her out before dinner.
