Gaiam Kids Stay-N-Play Children's Balance Ball, Flexible School Chair Active Classroom Desk Alternative Seating, Built-In Stay-Put Soft Stability Legs, Includes Air Pump, 45cm, Green Crazy Silly

This is the second purchase of the same item I bought for my son. He loves sitting on it and bouncy on it while playing games and watching tv or just sitting on it. But sadly it ripped recently. Overall its a great product. I will be looking to purchase a new one soon.

I have limitations due to a disability and I enjoy keeping my 6 year old grandchild overnight weekly. Child is pretty active and full of energy, which obviously wears me out. But now that I changed from a regular chair to this stability ball, I can tell you we are both much happier! More energy is expended on child, and less energy on grandparent!!! Truly! What a huge difference this makes! It’s used during meals and snacks, and during art activities and tabletop play! Child is 43” tall and the kids ball is just the right size! Durable too!

This was smaller than anticipated compared to previous purchases. Not as stable as I would have thought. Still works as a seat.

We have one of these from a different brand. The ball itself is great quality. The air pump arrived broken in the sense or function, it was in one piece, but the air kept leaking from the top of the manual pump. I am returning because the measurements are a little off. The 52cm includes the legs. Once my kid sits on it and the legs go flat, it’s too short. Not sure why this is recommended for 8-11. My daughter is 7 and it was too small.

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

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.

For the price, I do like this ball but be warned, you do not want to spend the time using the pump to fill it. Save yourself ( and your arms) and use an air compressor if you can ( eh hm... gas station ).The legs on the ball offer very little stability though the purpose I purchased this was to help develop core strength and increase balance, so I'm not bothered by this.On a positive note, this ball has already withstood quite a beating, so I can vouch for its durability.

I originally bought this for my son to use at school but it works so well I bought another one for home. He gets bad hip pain during his growth spurts and this makes sitting to do his work easier. I discovered these balls with the legs to prevent the ball from rolling away in my sons school. His school has 2 in each class room and the kids all want to use them. They are good for adults too.

El paquete venia sin la bomba, la pelota en buen estado. Esta muy padre, mi hija feliz . No necesite la bomba pues ya contaba con una. No me gusto que el paquete venia con el sello de nuevo sucio evidentemente fue abierto con anterioridad. No pense en devolverlo por el precio que es muy accesible. Las patitas ayudan a que no ande rodando por ahi. Si la recomiendo

Great ball, perfect for my Year 4 students. Good quality and easy to inflate.

Super ! Ma fille l’utilise à l’école

Excelente producto. Muy buena calidad.
