Review on ๐Ÿฆ˜ WALIKI Hippity Hopping Kangaroo: Enhancing Sports & Outdoor Play by Aaron Romero

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It was great for indoors until it exploded.

My teenage son has high functioning autism so I bought him this funnel to use indoors to salvage what was left of the living room furniture. Due to his sensory issues, he enjoys jumping up and down and clapping his hands. We don't have room for a trampoline either inside or outside the house so this seemed like a great indoor jumping solution to him. I've used 3 other exercise balls before so thought something for jumping and for adults ages 16-101 would be perfect for my 6ft teenager. big son. It arrived quickly and exactly as described but only lasted 2 months. It wasn't over-inflated or under-inflated (or it didn't seem so), but it bounced off it and it exploded. Luckily he wasn't hurt when he landed on his butt. The only thing that seems to have happened to me is that it's buggy and not built to last (as others have said, it's not strong enough for outdoor use on sidewalks, in places where there are pebbles could exist on rough surfaces). but I think that maybe the side of the ball was in contact with the air valve which is on the opposite side of the handle. Somehow the valve may have hit the wall and snapped in half. The valve is made of hard plastic and is about 2 inches long and extends into the interior of the sphere. So if you buy this make sure it is fully inflated. In any case, we are again looking for a new solution to save our furniture.
