Aerobie Megatop toy Review and Giveaway

Please Share

I love working with Aerobie. In the past I have done reviews for the Aerobie Sprint flying ring and the Aerobie Skylighter disc. Aerobie toys are durable, high quality toys that keep kids (and adults) active. Aerobie products can be found at many sporting goods stores.

Aerobie’s newest product is the Aerobie Megatop. It’s a big chunky top but with a twist. It’s not your average top. It comes with a string that you use to get the top spinning, a catch plate and a spin booster. The quick launch enables the person using the top to reach RPMs of 3000+. The spin booster allows the user to keep the top going even longer. The catch plate lets you perform fun tricks and balancing acts once you get the hang of it.

The top is made of a very thick and durable plastic. There’s a rim around it where the string goes that reminds you something of a yo yo except for the fact the string is not attached to the top. There is a notch on the top that holds the string in place until you launch it.

My husband and I both tried it first. We tried to set it down and pull the string quickly. It worked but the spin wasn’t the greatest. Then my oldest son tried it. Of course the kids figures it out. He holds it in his hand and throws it. That darn top spun so fast and I’d bet it spun on the kitchen floor for at least a minute if not more. His first try. He did better than my husband and I. So I had him show me how he did it. I tried it and got it spinning using my son’s technique. Then my son tried out the spin booster to see how long he could keep the top going.

We’re still trying to master the catch plate. We haven’t quite got it down but it’s been fun trying. I think anyone who’s good with a Yo Yo would have probably got the catch plate down by now. This top has been thrown on hard surfaces, kicked around, launched in the air, and used as everything but what it’s supposed to be by my toddler. It’s a durable toy. My only suggestion for the company would be to include some type of pouch or box to keep all the parts in. The string isn’t attached so when my toddle was playing with it we’d end up have to scour the house for all the parts, especially the string. The good news, in regard to that, is that all the parts are brightly colored so they’re pretty easy to spot.

Here’s a video of the top in action:
