 junior stomp rocket vs ultra stomp rocket... January 6, 2009
First a description of the Junior Stomp Rocket. Kit comes with a plastic rectangular "stomp pad" connected to a flexible tube. The end of the tube connects to one of the foam rockets (4 are includeded in the kit). There is a small plastic stand that you can put together to use as a launch base. Snap the plastic tube onto the base and stomp on the pad. Air is shot through the tube and propels the foam rocket up into the air. The Junior Stomp Rocket advertises that rockets will soar as high as 100 feet. The Product lists age range as 3-8 years.
The only real difference I found with the Ultra Stomp Rocket is that the foam rockets are a little larger. Other than that, the equipment is exactly the same. The Ultra Stomp Rocket advertises that rockets will soar as high as 200 feet (maybe because they are bigger and shaped slightly differently). The product lists age range as 8-12 years.
Both products list for a similar price. Refill Rockets for both the Junior and Ultra models come in varying colors and sell (at least on Amazon) for under $10.
Whether you buy the Junior Stomp Rocket (listed here) or it's sister product Ultra Stomp Rocket, you will be getting a fantastic toy! This toy is so simple - no assembly required, no batteries, just easy to use and loads of fun!
I first purchased the Junior Stomp Rocket for my 4 year old for christmas. He LOVED it! We had just had a snow storm, so we were delayed in taking the kit outside for a few days, but my son quickly modified the toy so that he holds the stomp pad under his arm and points the rocket and shoots the missiles around the house. Because the rockets are foam, they do not do any damage to walls, furniture, (or mom and dad, thankfully). Once we were able to take it outside, my son literally played with this toy for hours adjusting the direction, and playing around with how hard you need to stomp to get the rocket to go really high. What a great toy!
I just purchased the Ultra Stomp Rocket for a birthday party my son attended. The gift was a big hit there too! There was no difference in skill required between the Junior and Ultra models.
I would recommend either the Junior or Ultra Stomp Rockets. I see no reason why the Ultra version is rated such a higher age range. The only thing I found in favor of the junior version was the glow in the dark refill rockets. Junior Stomp Rocket Toy Glow in the Dark Refills. For some reason, the glow in the dark refills only come in the "junior" size.

Great Fun December 20, 2008
One of my best Christmas purchases for all the young (age 2 to 6)grandchildren. Simple to set up, safe enough to use indoors with supervision and works best in rooms with high ceilings, loads of fun outdoors. Everyone had to try it, even grandparents, but the younger ones will use it over and over with the challenge of making it go higher or hit a target. I would suggest getting a second set of replacement rockets as they tend to get lost or broken outdoors. I would not call this an educational toy really - just pure fun, but who says toys always need to be educational? Not me.
Stomp Rockets Rock!!! December 10, 2008
Holy smokes... why didn't I think of that??? The stomp rockets are so simple yet so much fun! All you do is put a "rocket" (made of very light foam) on the "launching pad" and then STOMP on the foot pad. The foot pad is soft and the force of your foot pushes a blast of air that travels through the launching tube and propels the rocket wayyyy up into the sky! This is so much fun to have at an outdoor BBQ or take to the park. I suggest buying extra rockets when you order because they go up so high that they often end up on a roof or in a tree.
 Stomp Rockets ROCK November 21, 2008
My 3 year old son received this as a birthday gift. He loved it so much that we bought it for 4 of his friends for their birthdays.
