GlowCity Glow in the Dark Football - Light Up Youth Size Footballs with LED Lights and Batteries Included: Ensuring Fun and Safety for Kids Review

I had high hopes for this product. As a child I had a porthole and loved to play soccer with my son in the evenings. The football is of good quality and throws well. My problem is that it doesn't glow long enough. Once started, it needs to stay on for a few minutes, not seconds. I keep pressing it to make it glow, but sometimes it turns off in mid-air, which is obviously a problem. For this reason I would not recommend this product.

I am very happy with this purchase. I bought this for a 10 year old and it fits little hands better than a regular soccer ball. In the evenings we like to take him to street concerts and the like where it's easy to see if he's gone. At first I was confused as to how it works, but I realized it has to hit or bounce for it to catch fire. When someone is not using it, the light will turn off automatically. I will say that there were times when it should have activated but it didn't. Generally he…

Bought a soccer ball and basketball for my grandson for Christmas. Both are wonderful and I expect him to like them. The best part for me though was Bill in the Glowing City. Like many others, I have been a victim of USPS shipping issues this year. Although I received the basketball relatively quickly, the USPS lost it for two weeks, and the week before Christmas I panicked like any grandfather. I contacted Glow City and Bill arranged for another to be shipped immediately via FedEx. It arrived…

One day I decided to buy a new soccer ball for my son because the one he had ripped in half and the foam inside was leaking all over the place. I was looking around and came across this one and since my son is throwing the ball closer to the night I thought this glowing one would be perfect for him. The package came from Amazon and my son was so excited to receive his new light up soccer ball. I tossed it around with it for a while and we liked that it glowed in mid-air, but it was solid like…

I bought this and a glowing soccer ball from the same company for my son's glowing party aged 10 with 40 of his friends. I liked it! It's smaller than a standard-sized soccer ball, making it easier to throw. The light was clear and never failed for a non-stop 4 hour party. While others have commented on deflation issues after a few days, I don't see that happening. I've pumped both up for 11 days with constant daily use by kids and no trouble maintaining proper pressure. (I even fitted a sensor

I bought this ball for my son for Christmas so we can play ball after school even in the winter months when it's dark (we live in California so bid look at the weather, but it's all still dark). I also bought a green lighted soccer ball for the same purpose; I bought both because I didn't know which worked better. This football is too, too complicated. It's so heavy I was embarrassed tossing it to my 9 year old son in the dark and he didn't really enjoy catching it. Soft Nerf Football was way…
