I've always trained on a sand filled hanging heavy bag, but my son is wanting a punching bag. I'm trying to find a good one that is free standing that can he can also take down or throw. I've been looking at these from Century, but the reviews seem bad and say they fall over way too easy. Even the largest one.

Does anyone have a child and can recommend a quality free standing bag for an 8 to 12 year old?

A sibling :p

For real though you might actually be better off hanging up a sand bag or something, kids going to grow fast and out grow the bag!
