Review by Twin Mom for Ball, Bounce and Sport Ball, Bounce and Sport Cars Hopper
Rating:
We absolutely love this toy. Our twin boys each got one for Christmas when they were 3 1/2 years old. They have hopped on them nearly every day for more than a year. These have been a life-saver for us on cold and/or wet days when we can’t spend our energy outside. One of them loves it so much that he sits on it while he reads or watches TV. We ordered a replacement when, after 13 months and many miles of heavy use, one of the balls got caught on a carpet strip and started leaking. I only have one problem with this item. It comes in different sizes, and there is no way to know which size you are getting when buying on-line unless the seller specifies it. The pictures, boxes, and descriptions all look the same. In fact, we ordered two of them from Amazon when one of ours burst to have replacement and a spare. We ordered the same item from the same seller at the same time. (In short, we selected “2″ in the quantity box.) The two balls arrived in identical boxes but were different sizes. We didn’t discover this fact until last week when we needed our “spare” and opened the second box. When inflated, this ball looks exactly the same as our others but is significantly smaller and meant for a younger child. Unfortunately, it is past our Amazon return date so we are stuck with it, and we still need to find one of the correct size to replace the one our children wore out. In sum, this is an awesome product. Just be sure to open the box and confirm that you received the correct size.
