Great product in my review

This hopper ball has been quite a hit with our 2 year old grand daughter. She picked up on what it was, and how to hop on it, in no time. She loves it! It's a great thing to have for kids that are active, or should be more active. Burn off some of that young energy!

Pros
  • Easy to inflate. Very thick rubber. My 6 yr old and 3 yr old both hop around well with it!
Cons
  • The ball may not be suitable for use on hard surfaces like concrete or pavement

Exercise & Fun - my new review

Had one as a kid . Got this one for daughter . She loves bouncing on this thing . No problems inflating . So far so good after a few months

Pros
  • I wanted a smaller size ball for my petite grandchild. This hopper is just her size and very durable.
Cons
  • The purple color may not be suitable for all genders or preferences

great product best in my review

this product is exactly what i was looking for. I will be using it as a boat bumper for my boat when I am docked. The other one i had came off one night and floated away. this should work exactly as the black one i had, but with some flair in the color as my boat is also white and red.

Pros
  • Took a few tries to get the hang of it.
Cons
  • Thinner then other brands but it works !

Bouncing off the wall has a new meaning!

The child needs to be wrapped in a bubble, or have a permanent helmet on. but she loves every second that she is in the thing. Bouncing off the walls has a new meaning!

Pros
  • Perfect for my 3yo. She loves it
Cons
  • The ball may not be as fun or entertaining as other ride-on toys

Disappointed. in my review

Do not waste your money. I ordered two of these and within ten minutes they were both deflating. I do not care to leave negative reviews. However, over the last couple of months I have received twonor three inferior products that were not what they were described to be. Fed up with cheap, cheap, flimsy products!

Pros
  • Very easy to inflate. Holds air. Grandkids (3 & 8) like it a lot.
Cons
  • Went flat very fast but my kid still enjoyed it.

Hit at the kids birthday party.

Perfect size for a 3-6 year old. It was sturdy and easy to inflate in minutes. All the parents wanted to know where i purchased it.

Pros
  • Super fun! I got one for my 3 year old niece and she jumped on it all afternoon.
Cons
  • The ball may lose its shape over time and become less bouncy

Great size!: my feedback

Bought two of these for our little one and for when a friend comes over! These are very sturdy and inflate easily. She loves bouncing all over the yard on it. The color is super bright too, the polka dots make it even cuter!

Pros
  • It was so cute but it was super small.
Cons
  • Ball is no longer holding air only 2 days after Christmas. Great fun while it lasts.

Fun for toddlers - my new review

Bought this as a gift for my niece. I like the size for her (she’s 2), the bottom is textured to help it grip on the floor. Completely worth the price. My only complaint is the colors are a little muddy. Like run together, not a big deal to me, but I know it can be to some.

Pros
  • Kids love it, must be inflated with airhose to get proper inflation
Cons
  • The ball may be too noisy for indoor play

Missing the inflate pin

Got this for my 3 year old grandson. It was a good size for him. He loved hopping like the Easter bunny. This wasn’t in a protective bag and didn’t come with a pin to help inflate it. Luckily the other bouncer I ordered for my 5 year old included what we needed to inflate the ball.

Pros
  • The Hedstrom Hopper ball is the original Hopper. Hedstrom has been making toys like the Hopper Ball since 1913! Quality Hop Balls come from Hedstrom
Cons
  • The ball may not be suitable for children with latex allergies

kids love it: my feedback

The kids have used it a lot on many different surfaces and it seems to hold up well. The color is fun and they loved it right away and haven't stopped playing with it since day one.

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • The handle may become dirty or sticky with extended use

Such a fun gift in my review

I bought this ball for my daughter's birthday and she just loves it. It's a ball that she can bounce on, what more do kids love (other than phones). The material is great and we love the colour. It's a fun gift for any kid

Pros
  • But my daughter seems to enjoy it. It feels very durable and it was easy to inflate.
Cons
  • The ball may be difficult to clean and sanitize after use

Perfect for the young beginner!

Perfect beginners hopper ball!We bought it for our granddaughter's second birthday and she absolutely loves it. Eight months later and she's still hopping all over the place! For those saying that "it's too small," they should've noted the measurements provided before purchasing. It definitely isn't for a bigger child, but it's perfect for the young beginner.

Pros
  • Very cute! Easy to inflate. My granddaughter loves this ball.
Cons
  • The ball may not provide enough support for children with balance or coordination issues

Not best for Chrisrmas lawn decor

These are great for the intended purpose; however, i wanted to use as Christmas lawn ornaments. I wouldn't suggest this unless you are going to paint them. The stripes are not crisp when blown up.

Pros
  • 14.5 x 14.5 x 18 inches
Cons
  • The ball may be too difficult for younger children to ride on

Bounced over the top!

My 2 yr old granddaughter loves this! It’s perfect height for her. Was a little difficult to inflate but overall very happy with purchase.

Pros
  • Nice but wayyyy smaller than I’d imagined. def not for a kid older than age 4.
Cons
  • The ball may become punctured or damaged by sharp objects or surfaces

not as pictured for color

I purchased these balls to be Christmas ornaments for the front of the house. I I ordered the red and white striped balls. The balls are not a bright white line around as shown. The white is more a gray, muddy color and didn't look good at all for what we wanted them for. Our solution is that we are going to try and paint the gray lines with white paint and then roll the white paint in silver glitter. I know it's going to be a lot of work to try to get these to look good and hopefully worth it.

Pros
  • Very adorable and great for a gift. It was smaller than I expected.
Cons
  • The ball may be too difficult to balance for some children, leading to falls and injuries

Okay bouncy ball, but kind of small.

I just received this for my daughter who just turned 4 today. I was expecting it to be a bit bigger. It’s very small, but hopefully she will still fit and be able to use it. It seems pretty durable and fairly sturdy. But again because of its size, not sure it will with stand all the bouncing. We will have to see how long it lasts.

Pros
  • Hedstrom Hopper Balls are designed to last. The durable vinyl material means you’ll be able to hop almost anywhere and the hopper ball will stay inflated and bouncy.
Cons
  • The ball may be difficult to store or transport due to its shape and size

Get the wiggles out

I ordered purple but received pink, never the less my kid loved it. Kids have been couped up because of quarantine so these make the best toy right now to get all that extra energy out! The handle looks a bit different than pictured but still sturdy!

Pros
  • Hoppers
Cons
  • The ball may require adult supervision to ensure safe and proper use
