What about the Hippity Hop? I'm not sure how that toy made it through to my generation (although we did have Jarts, too , so ...) but we nearly broke our necks as kids trying to out-jump each other on that thing. I'm not sure what they were made of (recycled tires?) but they were tough - we used to bounce right through the doorway & out into the yard. Hours of fun. Days of recovering from the chafing.
+1 for The Three Investigators. Read them all. Good stuff.
