I like this ball more than I anticipated. Shortly after receiving it, my son had his first bday party, and it was a hit with the 10 kids that came over as well as their parents. People don't guess that a balloon is inside. You can't tell. It's a great weight for passing back and forth--not too light and not too heavy, even for indoors. My one-year-old son lays on it, and I'll pull him off but he hasn't popped it yet. I'd imagine that if it did, the fabric would muffle the sound. And I honestly can't imagine the balloon peaking through the hidden hole in fabric; however, if a parent didn't notice the balloon had popped or deflated and a kid explored the fabric and maneuvered to get out the deflated balloon (seems pretty tricky but possible), then it could be a choking hazard. I'm not too worried because my son isn't aware of the hole, he's not typically alone that long, and if it popped we'd probably notice and remove it anyway. Read more

So if you have kids that are frightened when the balloon pops, but can't go outside due to smoke from fires, a balloon cover can be a saving grace. And allows the kids to have the option for an active play but without breaking items in the house or hurting one another. I really love this and would consider giving them as gifts. Read more

It does its job as described. A balloon fits nicely inside.I found that the provided ink pens leak as you paint with them. The white textile cover allows the ink to travel too far out from the printed images. Once painting a few of the images the whole area becomes a visual mess. Read more

This ball seemed well designed but not that well made. The seam blew out after just a few minutes of my kids playing. (The balloon inside, apparently of higher quality than the fabric, survived.) Read more

This product was such a relief, my 10 month old loves watch his big brother play with balloons. Sadly, I was so scared to give it to him since it just ends up in his mouth. I'm now at ease with the baby playing with balloons. And now they play together! Best purchase ever! I bought the color one which doubled as a coloring activity. I may end up getting another one too so they don't fight for the one. Read more

Great idea for both little kids and elders in Assisted Living for indoor activity. We use pipe insulation or wacky pool noodles as bats. No one and nothing gets hurt. Read more

My son absolutely loves this toy! He saw a similar one at my sisters house when we visited and loved it there so we got him this one for Xmas. What a hit! Read more

It’s perfect for my grandkids to play with a balloon, without the danger of them biting it and choking on it. It’s colorful and they love it! Super fun! Read more

Great product - lovely design perfect for babies! Seems very safe for babies to play with. A bit heavier than a normal balloon but light enough to chuck around- my baby loves it and I feel much safer him playing either this than a normal balloon. 100% recommend for parents who’s kids or babies love balloons (but don’t want them choking themselves).Only downside is the price as if it was more affordable I’d buy loads of them in preparation for my sons birthday but considering he only plays with 1 at a time it’s good enough for me!

I got these for my dog who is full of life and energy. Shes a mini schnauzer and since ive got these for her she has great fun with them. Ive bought a few she loves to shake the life out of the balloon using the tag at the end of it. Keeps her active and entertained. She also loves to head the balloon back to me if i throw it at her. Its became a daily game. Great idea not just for kids. Read more

I love the idea of this and it would be perfect and I would have given it 5 stars if it was round instead of oval. It measures 27 inches one way and 25 and 3/4 inches the other way. This means that depending on how it hits the floor it can bounce off in another direction even though you are aiming it straight. which makes playing a bounce and catch game a bit frustrating. If I knew how to contact the seller I would ask if this is normal or if we have a faulty one. I don't want to buy another if it is the same Read more

These are so easy to use. They’re great when teaching to catch as they don’t move as fast as a ball. Good from a young age. I blow them up and tie them out of sight of the children otherwise they spend ages trying to get the balloon out of the cover! Read more

The pictures on the colour your own Bubabloon are too small for young children to colour - my 5 yr old granddaughter was OK but not the 3 yr old. Please bring out one with nice large shapes and objects to colour. I love Bubabloon and recommend them to the mothers in my Baby Music Class. Read more
