Hedstrom Hopper Ball, Hopping Ball, Jumping Ball, Dinosaurs, 18 Inch

I purchased this hopper for my son for his Easter basket.The ball inflated easily and quickly with an electric pump. It is a very thick and heavy rubber. The handle is of a good size and seems to be very durable. It was kind of oily when it came out of the box, but I am guessing that is to keep the rubber pliable while being warehoused. It cleaned up with a little bit of dish detergent on a wet rag.My son is loving this hopper ball! He is almost six and of average height and weight. The 18-inch ball fits him perfectly and he has some room to grow. It is very bouncy and he loves riding it around the house. I am looking forward to the weather warming up so he can take it out to the backyard!This is a nice hopper ball and I would recommend it without reservation.

Given the delicate situation that the world is currently facing, and with parks being closed, I needed to find other ways for my kid to entertain himself that would burn a lot of energy like at the park. I ordered this particular bounce ball because it’s the original bounce ball so they seemed durable and dependable. The first ball I received had a hole in the handle. Being that I ordered from Amazon, they sent a replacement in 2 days. (Phenomenal customer service by the way) the second ball was not defective and very durable. My 5 year old bounces all over the house and breaks a sweat every time. He gets in his exercise while tiring himself out and ending the “I’m bored” cycle. So far he has not punctured or damaged the ball at all despite him bouncing excessively on it. Great quality and a lot of bouncing fun

5.5 year old boy enjoys. Can be used in the house

Purchased 3 of these for Christmas gifts. Three girls ranging in age from 3-5 yrs old, 30 - 60lbs. Was a little tall for the 3 yr old, we just let out a little air. Was perfect for my average height 4 yr old, and worked fine with a little extra air for the bigger 5 yr old. These were a HUGE hit at Christmas. The girls bounced around for hours everyday. Exercise when it's too cold to be outside. Other than needing a little air on occasion, we have had no issues. We've not used one outside yet, so I can't speak to the durability for that.

So we're homeschooling this year and this thing (and the larger one I bought for his sister) is saving my life- and I say that even having a trampoline in our office. Kindergarten age boy, a 5 min hop around the house every hr or so has gotten us through our days. He isn't gentle with it either- upstairs, downstairs, out in the snow, try to hop and touch the ceiling, the thing is pretty sturdy. He loves it and it gets the energy out! Some of the best money ever spent.Update: Have had this about a year now, 6 yr old boy + every neighbor kid around us, both balls are still going strong! Still gets constant use, kids were on them today actually. We haven't even had to add air. EXCELLENT purchase.

Nice

Convenient in size, characters are cute and convenient to store as well. Great rubber quality too.

I bought this for my niece for her birthday, and she absolutely loved it! Seems pretty sturdy and the colors were bright and we're peeling off like I feared they would after some use. Fun toy!
