So far so good but missing a piece

Not sure if it was intentional but there are two balls and one plug per box. This is unfortunate because after blowing up the one and realizing there was no other plug, I left the other one deflated and in the box. It got thrown out with the rest of the trash because my husband saw the "ball blown up so I figured why keep the box?!” Hopefully this one holds up because I have no back up…yikes!

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.

Filthy Looking and Poor Craftsmanship

This looks like it was made by 5 year olds and then was rolled through dirt and put in a box in storage for years. The durability seems ok but it definitely looks old and dirty and the colors are smudged (pics included.) I will say I wiped it down and it wasn’t actually "dirty” but has a very grey and grimey appearance. The seams aren’t aligned either which makes it seem like poor quality. The color is also not as bright as pictured and the white areas are all greyed. Like others have said…

Pros
  • 😊
Cons
  • It works as intended but finish is lacking

Loses air right away

I bought two thinking my grandkids would enjoy it. They did. until less than 5 minutes later they are losing air. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Perfect size for my three year old
Cons
  • The striped pattern may not appeal to all kids

Nice toy, but needed cleaning before use

PROS:• thick, sturdy rubber• texture areas so ball doesn't slide and for better grip• small, compact size, perfect for young child• cute polka dot design (deeper teal-blue than in the product picture)CONS:• covered in greasy, sticky residue out of the boxThis seems like a sturdy, well-thought out toy — I like that there are textured areas on the ball to make it safer to use (on the bottom, so ball doesn't slide, and around the handle for better grip). My 3-year-old hasn't quite figured out the…

Pros
  • Easy to inflate. Very thick rubber. My 6 yr old and 3 yr old both hop around well with it!
Cons
  • Potentially awkward and difficult to store

Exercise & Fun for my opinion

Pros
  • This is a fun activity to get kids outside. Bought for niece and she has enjoyed it.
Cons
  • Limited weight capacity

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
  • This is so cute for up to a three year old toddler it’s adorable and works well
Cons
  • Highly likely to puncture or deflate quickly

My kids love it for my opinion

It’s a tad too big for my toddler, and too small for my 8 year old. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But either way, it doesn’t stop them from playing with it.

Pros
  • Perfect but very very small so if Have a smaller child on the smaller end this would be perfect
Cons
  • Limited color options

Overall decent product! Color was not as pictured though.

I purchased this for a 2-year olds birthday and it was a hit! She and the other kids wanted to play with it immediately. It seemed sturdy and was pretty easy to inflate. My only complaint was the color, I ordered purple and it was pretty much hot pink. The white spots were a little messy looking on it as well. Overall appearance could use improvement, everything else I was pleased with.

Pros
  • 4 x 10 x 12 inches
Cons
  • May not be entertaining for kids after a short period of time

Fun for toddlers for my opinion

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
  • Very cute! Easy to inflate. My granddaughter loves this ball.
Cons
  • Handle can become slippery when wet

Fun for small children

Expected a larger ball, purchased 3, for 4, 7 & 10 year olds. Unfortunately only the 4 year old will get use of it. Not suitable for use in small or crowded spaces!

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Not suitable for use in small or crowded spaces

Loads of Laughs on my review.

Purchased for 4.5 YO child, 35 lbs and fit just right. Easy to inflate with my own ball pump. Child bounced indoors for 30 minutes but rubber feels thick enough to use outdoors on smooth surfaces.

Pros
  • Bought for my 4 and 2 year grandsons, they love it.
Cons
  • May not provide enough bounce for kids to enjoy

great product good for me

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
  • Boys love hopping around on these
Cons
  • Too small

Hop bouncer - my new review

We got it for our 2.5 year old for Christmas from Santa and she LOVES it. She bounces all around our house on that thing. Good way to burn off some energy and totally fun.

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
  • Can cause friction and discomfort on bare skin

Great size! for my opinion

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
  • The Hedstrom Hopper Ball ships deflated but is easily inflated with any hand pump or electric pump. Pump not included
Cons
  • Can be difficult to inflate or deflate without proper tools
