THIS ball is great for young kids, it’s soft, light, colorful and bouncy.
My baby loves it! It’s a little bigger than I thought but it is still a great ball and we have a lot fun with it.
I’ll not rate the durability just yet as I want to see how long this will last.

I am using this ball for physical therapy. I figured that if I'm doing a workout with it, it might as well be cute, huh? It's adorable and makes me smile when I look at it. It's perfect and it is sturdy and perfect for the therapy!

Super cute and soft like a kickball. It is much larger than I expected. I bought it for our one year old but it will be more appropriate in a year or two because it’s a full soccer/kickball size. Adorable though!

I wanted to return it, because baby was scared of the smiling face on it. She thought that was a monster for her. I didn't have the package so didn't return. After another month of growth, she began to like it. She will chase after it while crawlling. (11 months old). This makes her exercises more. Also this can train her using both hands, as well as playing "ball rolling" between you can her to interact with baby.

Its a ball.... you blow it up and kids play with it. Does this need a review? Nope, if your worried about buying a ball maybe you shouldnt buy a ball. If you want a cute ball for your kid that lasts buy this ball.

Great product for 5+ kids

Reviewed in India on June 15, 2020

Quite an amazing quality product. Wasn't sure whether it required inflation, which it does. Sadly no compatible valve included. Luckily a friend helped out. Found the roughened surface texture for grip and rigidity somewhat harsh for my 3.5 year old daughter's tender skin. Advisable for kids of approx this age to be fully covered with tough clothes like denims etc. and proper socks & shoes. Definitely not to play with bare feet or shorts etc.

Besides all the hard facts given above, my little girl is indeed thrilled to play with it. And it's surely a relief so far too be able to play outdoors in garden as well where other Intex type inflatable beach balls get punctured instantly outdoors.

One also needs to be careful playing with this indoors with breakable artefacts and/other similar valuable interiors. Just pay gently indoors. It won't bounce with uncontrollable velocity unless intended. Be careful. That's all.

Bottom line, it's a beautiful delight for kids and good to keep them active and motivated. Time will tell of its durability. Shall update accordingly.
