Review on Get Your Kids Hopping With WALIKI'S Green Hopper Ball For Ages 3-6 Therapy And Fun! by Mack Douglas

Bought this for grandson. I was surprised at how much they had changed over the years. The one I had as a child back in the late sixties, early seventies, was of much thicker rubber material, with a very sturdy air plug. I put my bouncing ball through heck, jumping on the gravel, down hallways, on the grass and dirt. Everyone had so much fun jumping on it. I even kept it for my own children to play with. They also had a huge amount of fun and it truly lasted through two active boys. Sadly, I think the rubber finally rotted and the bouncing ball was finally no more when my children became teenagers. Almost 20 years, between me and my children playing and having fun. But that was when items were being made to last and not to be thrown away after a short time of use. The quality of this bouncing ball is no where near to the one of old, and I would be hesitant to let my grandson use it outside very often, because we do have gravel on our driveway and I am afraid it wouldn't last long. Overall though, he does enjoy it. Not as much as I would have thought. My main concern is the easy removal of the air plug. He was able to get it out with no problem at all. I would have preferred an air hole that was better made.
