Review on Trolls Hopper Ball For Kids By Hedstrom, 15 Inch Hop Ball by Jeff Wyble

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brings Back Memories

I had a hoppy ball when I was a kid. This was back in the early 1970s. It was a blast then, and this one is a blast now! My son saw this, and went crazy! The Hedstrom hopper ball is very durable. Extremely easy to inflate. I recommend a simple hand pump air-pump. You could use a pump for balls (footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, etc). However, I successfully inflated my son's hopper ball using my God-given lungs and a few stout puffs. My son is 3 years old, 3'3" and around 35 lbs. This hopper is perfect size for him. And I can tell that we'd be able to add a bit more air as he grows to accommodate him. Delivery was immediate. The hopper came with a small valve you can use to air up using an air source suited for tire valve inflation. It also comes with a removable plug. Air pump is not included. I don't foresee any issues, but if any arise, I will update this review.

Pros
  • Ships deflated but easily inflates with any hand pump or electric pump (not included). Easily deflates for storage or travel.
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for use by kids who are sensitive to air pressure changes
