GYMNICHop 45 Ride on Bounce Toy 18'' (Yellow)

My 3 year old ball of energy loves this thing! It is great for outdoors, but also great for indoors on a rainy day! My daughter hops all over the house on this ball - it's a great way for her to release lots of energy (which she has so very much of). If you have an energetic child, this ball is a must! Also, it's very well-made. I am impressed and intend to buy the next size up when my daughter is ready for it.

Got this for my 3.5 yr old for Christmas. First bounce was unsteady, but by the end of the day she was bouncing around the house like a pro. A week later and its still a favorite and much-used toy. Even great for use outdoors. Seems well made and that it will hold up to continued use. Was easy to inflate with bicycle tire pump.

The handle broke apart after 2 short months of use by our 3 yr old. It's still usable, but now he has much less interest in it. It was great while it lasted, but c'mon - 2 months and the handle breaks!?!?!? *You've been warned*

When my children were young, there was a very similar product around called "Hoppity-Hops", and they only came in one size. This new product is an even better version and it comes in at least 2 sizes and I bought them for my grandchildren for Christmas. Caroline is 4 years younger than her older brother Mitchell so it was very important that the company offered them in the different size ranges. They're brightly colored so kids find them attractive AND the material resists fading and doesn't discolor like the older version my kids had. Overall, I was very happy with these Hop Balls, my son and his wife were very pleased and the grandkids are still having fun bouncing all over the place with them. They teach coordination plus they really are just good old FUN. And again, I bought them through Amazon, which is such a no-brainer. The service they provide is top notch and the product arrives so quickly it makes gift-giving a breeze!

Bought this for my 4 year old for her birthday, she is just over 3 ft tall.....at first it seemed like she was not tall enough for it, we filled it up but not super full, probably about 90% (cause we didn't have a good pump - used a balloon pump bought at Target for her balloons). At first she couldn't quite figure it out but then she figured out how to sit on it and balance herself while jumping at the same time. She jumps on it all around the house, using it to get from one room to another. It's perfect for helping her to use up some energy and she really enjoys it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I thought it would be just right for her size wise based on the reviews and info about the product but I think I would have waited to buy if I had known just how big it is. I am happy with the quality though. Nice thick, strong material that seems like it will last awhile.

I bought two of these for my 4- and 6-year-old grandchildren, who are high energy kids. They got on them immediately and were off bouncing around the house. It took a few minutes for the 4-year-old to learn how to control her direction, but then they could hop around furniture and through doorways. The ball were easy to inflate using a hand pump and are very good quality phthalate-free vinyl. They are proving to be an excellent toy for using up some excess energy either indoors or out.

My 3 kids (3,5 and 8 year old) really enjoyed this ball while it lasted. We only used it indoors and didn't hop on any glass or other sharp objects however one day it we noticed it was very deflated. This was about 40 days after we received it. It did get a lot of use while we had it, especially by my 45lb 5 year old. I thought it would last longer.

The Hop Ball arrived quickly and was easy to blow up with a bike tire pump. My 4 year old daughter loves it and hops around the house, it has served it's purpose of providing exercise during the winter months. I don't know yet how it will perform outside (too much snow).The reason for 4 start and not 5 is it seems to constantly have a slow leak, I suspect the plug doesn't completely seal, so I have to add more air every couple of weeks.I would buy another one, and plan on buying the bigger sized ones as a fun gag gift for all of my teenagers for Christmas. I see hopping wars in our near future.
