The complete guide
A home gymnastics bar that fits the child and the room
Start with the weight rating
Sixty kilos sounds like a limit you will never reach until you read it as what it is: a statement that this is children's equipment.
That is not a criticism of it. A junior bar for home practice is a genuinely useful thing, and a child who can practise hangs and pullovers between club sessions improves faster than one who only trains on club nights.
It does mean that if you are an adult looking for a bar to train on, this is not that product.
Four heights, and why they get used
A bar at the wrong height is either unreachable or too low to swing under.
The four settings mean the same frame works for a small child who needs to reach the bar with their feet still on the floor, and for the same child later, working on skills that need clearance underneath.
Two rules when adjusting: both sides on the same setting, and both knobs properly tight. Almost every wobble anyone reports on any adjustable bar comes down to one of those two.
Where to put it
Floor. Flat and level. The rubber foot sleeves grip laminate and wood, which is what stops the frame travelling during a swing.
Space around it. Allow clear space in front and behind, at least the child's full height. Bars are used by swinging, and swinging needs room that furniture is not in.
A mat underneath. Not optional in practice. Falls from a bar are part of learning, and a folding gymnastics mat is the standard answer.
Supervision
The live product page this was ported from told parents the bar was a reliable training companion for a child even in their absence. That line is gone and it is not coming back.
Bar work is supervised, at a club and at home. The equipment is fine. The practice is what needs someone watching.
Keeping it working
Check the knobs before every session. Ten seconds.
Check the rubber sleeves are seated. They wander after a lot of folding, and a bare steel foot on a hard floor slides.
Store it indoors. Powder coat resists rust, it does not ignore a damp shed all winter.
