Overview
A toy barbell for toddlers and young kids to mimic a parent's workout, with foam plates on a padded bar. The full set adds up to just over 2 pounds, so it is a pretend-play prop rather than a resistance tool.
The bar itself is a rigid center rod, not foam like the plates, and some buyers found the metal ends unprotected at the tips. It suits imitation play for ages roughly 2 to 6 rather than actual strength training.
- 29.5 inch padded-grip bar
- Two each of small, medium and large foam discs
- Total set weight about 2 lbs 1.8 oz
- No tools needed to assemble
Who it's for
Suits parents who want a young child to join a home workout session with a matching prop, especially toddlers who already copy exercise moves. Not for anyone expecting real resistance or a padded end-to-end bar.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently describe it as a hit with toddlers and preschoolers copying a parent's workout, and most call assembly quick and easy. The recurring complaint is that the center bar is rigid metal rather than foam, and a couple of buyers flagged the exposed bar ends as a scrape hazard for little hands.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Easy, tool-free assembly
- Foam plates feel safe for young hands
- Lightweight enough for toddlers to lift
- Encourages copying a parent's workout
- Center bar is rigid metal, not foam
- Bar ends are unprotected, a mild hazard
- Not usable for actual strength training
Performance notes
The set assembles from a padded foam bar and six foam discs, two each of small, medium and large, that slide onto threaded ends. Total weight is about 2 lbs 1.8 oz, and the bar itself is not foam, only the padded grip is, so the rigid tips need supervision around younger toddlers.

Questions about the Redmon 9211
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Is the Redmon Kids Barbell Set 9211 padded all over?
No, only the bar's grip and the discs are foam. The metal core inside the bar is rigid, and some buyers noted the tips are not capped.
What age range does this toy barbell fit?
Reviewers used it with kids from about 1 to 6 years old, with the best-described fit around ages 3 to 4.
Does it include real resistance weight?
No. The full bar and disc set totals about 2 lbs 1.8 oz, so it is a pretend-play prop rather than training equipment.
