Giga Ball: Life-Size Inflatable Fun Center

My 8 year old has wanted one of these things since Christmas but they were sold out. When her birthday rolled around a few months ago, I saw where the GB had become available again and ordered one.First of all, the exterior "honeycombs" consist of individual air chambers that must be inflated individually. What a pain. Then some of the chambers had holes in them and would not remian inflated. Now you have what amounts to a flat tire on the thing which prevents it from rolling freely.Second, the exterior is not ridgid enough for the GB to retian it's shape as it "rolls' down a hill. It's hard to keep it going. So it stops frequently, which lowers the fun factor.Lastly, this thing is big, make sure you have someplace to put it when it's not in use.Quality problems aside, this could be fun for a smaller child but my kids just think it is so so.

I see that one reviewer's gigaball came with instructions. How nice - mind didn't. It took four hours to fill up with a pretty good air compressor because the air leaked out faster than it would fill up. I kept patching holes and new ones kept appearing. It was like the twilight zone. The worst part about it was how disappointed my children were. I will not be purchasing another product from this company. Quality is obviously an alien concept to them.

My 7 year old son received the Giga Ball for Christmas. It was a big hit. He and all of his cousins had a great time with it for several hours. Unfortunately, the very next day, it pretty much fell apart. I didn't expect it would last very long, but had hoped that it would last more than one day.

All the kids invited to the Birthday party were dying to take their turn. It was a great b-day gift and kept the kids busy rolling each other around the yard.

Got it for my 6 year and she has fun in it but there has to be several others to push the ball......she had fun but it is alot of work to roll the ball around.

Could be more durable, but fun while it lasted. Big enough that I could fit in alone - I'm 5'4 and 130lbs. Sticks punctured holes in it in the yard after the 5th time using it in the same summer of purchase.

My boys and their friends loved it. We've had two because they do break down and are hard to store but... They had so much fun jumping on them, in them, putting it in the pool and out in the bay. We're fans!!!

This arrived ahead of time and was a big success. I am pleased with this company and delivery
