My Autistic Toddler Loves this!
My son is 4 years old and he is a major sensory seeker and he is non-verbal but let me tell you when he is playing with this ball he makes sounds and giggles I've never heard out of him. He loves it and I feel like it is the perfect size for him even though he is a large 4 year old. He bounces on it like no tomorrow, it fulfills a lot of his sensory input needs for the day and I feel like it was a great purchase. I have had it for a couple months now and it has not lost any air and has kept it's shape, very durable. I love that this is helping my sons needs. Thank you for making this product! I highly recommend this for other teachers, parents, therapists, and family!

useful
got for my 4 year old to sit on at her arts and crafts bench table. buuuut I use it more than her. It’s great for those who are unable to squat or sit on knees. I used it just today to pull weeds. I can’t use my adult size exercise ball for that, it’s too tall. But this is perfect. My teen saw me on it and said I was popping it (because the “legs” where completely buckled. Those are not legs, just little nubs so the ball doesn’t roll around. They can’t support ANY weight, because they’re not legs. Friggin kids man. Anywhoo, the whole family uses this, so far it’s still living

Loved them so much I bought them a 2nd time
I got my twins these when they were too young and they couldnt really use them to their fullest potential. They played with them for sure but never used them for what I hope they will use them for this time. I have another kid and all 3 are high energy. They are in school and have a hard time sitting. Im hoping that this will encourage them to stay seated at their home desks and maybe school desks as well. Even if they dont these exercise balls are pretty and good quality. I really like them and Im excited to have them back in our home again.

Quality product, but size of ball didn’t work great despite using the products size chart.
Got this for Kindergartner who is learning virtually. Searched many balls-based on reviews went with this one. The material is strong and holds air. Problem with is it difficult for him to actually “sit on” easily without bouncing or rolling around to a point where it’s not the safest to sit on in front of a desk-if he sits on the middle of it it will roll forwards or backwards. I have tried adjusting the amount of air in it but haven’t found a size that makes it easier for him to sit and the instructions aren’t very clear on what diameter it’s supposed to be. He has a good sense of balance in general-I don’t think that is it. My guess is the length of his legs are not long enough to touch the ground when on it-kids have different body proportions even if they are the same “height.” He enjoys (sometimes too enthusiastically) bouncing on in when sitting at his desk) which does get some wiggles out when in front of a screen for hours) so did not return it. However, my goal was to have something he could also keep still on while he writes and does projects. As a reference, I (5’4” and well over 100lbs) am able to balance on it just fine without rolling and it hold up under my weight. Another thing to consider (for those who intend to use this as a replacement for a chair at a desk) is the height of the desk and whether or not it works well in that way. I had a hard time determining this by the description of the ball. The little “legs” on the bottom do prevent it from rolling away when not in use (but they are not meant for nor help in balancing) to a degree. It came with an extra plug to seal it off (doesn’t come with a pump but is easy to inflate with a hand pump). To sum it up, the ball seems to be made of quality material, holds it’s shape and will stay in place when not in use. I gave it less stars because it doesn’t seem the right fit, even though I used the guidelines in the description of the product-which I feel is very important. The “comfort” level and “stability”isn’t great. I found so many choices when searching for an item like this that I just picked one that seemed to have decent reviews. There is a “peanut” shaped one out there-but seems like it not made to sit in the right direction to use as a chair at a desk. I didn’t have the time or energy to return it and try out other ones-and maybe would have found one that worked out better. If you are looking for a balance ball to use not as a replacement for a chair at a desk (like to sit on while playing video games or just for fun) it’s a quality product and decently priced.

Lots of Fun for my 10 year old
This item was a random recommendation from Amazon when I was searching for spices to cook Indian food. I saw it and thought my son would love something like this to sit on and bounce on in the living room while watching tv or hanging out with his siblings. When it came in the mail my son already knew what it was and said one of his teacher’s classrooms has these instead of chairs. When I saw the box I realized he was too tall for it. He is 10 and 61” tall. I only paid attention to the ages for the ball (my mistake) and not the height recommendation so I was disappointed I ordered a size that wouldn’t work. However, the weight limit is 300 pounds so I figured he could still use it. He loves it and doesn’t have a problem using it despite his height and doesn’t think it’s too small at all with his long legs. He tends to slouch a lot and when he is sits on the ball his posture straightens up. It’s a pretty stable ball and it’s been inflated for several weeks right now with no leaks. For the price I paid I’m pleased and if there were a smaller size for toddlers I would purchase it.

1 out of 7 were actually the right size
This was a huge disappointment. I ordered 4 initially and only 1 was actually an XL size. The other 3 were small. I was sent 3 more for the wrong size ones and they were all tiny too. So I have one that works for my 4th and 5th graders and 6 that are a good size for a kindergartener.

Size difference
My kids loved this yoga ball, so we reordered it when it was deflated. However, there’s a noticeable difference in size between the two. We ordered the exact same ball—both are labeled as 52 cm—but they don’t match in size.
