AppleRound Horse Bouncer with Hand Pump, Inflatable Space Hopper, Ride-on Bouncy Horse (Blue)

This is a very well thought out product!! The horsey is pretty heavy duty rubber and comes with it's own pump and replacement plugs in case you lose one! Using the supplied pump it inflates very quickly, took me about 2 min of rather lazy pumping to get it inflated enough that it was usable. We actually ended up buying three of these. My wife and I have 3 kids, a 4 year old and twin 19 month olds (yes, it's very chaotic) so anything we can find that will run them around and tire them out is great! So we bought two red Hoppers and one blue Hopper. Our 4 year old absolutely loves his! His a bit tall for his age so his legs kinda jut out to the sides as he's using it but, whatever. So, once we saw my son take off like a shot on his we thought "We're golden for at least 10 min once we get the twins on theirs!". So I quickly inflated the other two, and we joyfully presented them to the twins. The both immediately screamed in terror and clawed their way up my legs. If you have never had a combined 50 lbs of screaming toddlers scaling your legs in a frenzy of fear, I have to tell you....it ain't fun! We are slowly trying to acclimate them to the Hoppers but so far (1 week) they haven't taken to them. Maybe it's something about the eyes? Anyhoo, I think that's a particular quirk of our children and not a problem with the Hoppers themselves. Overall these are great active toys for kids at a great price. If you have relatively skittish kids maybe wait until 2 to 3 years? Like I said my 4 year old loves his but he will probably outgrow it in a couple of months.

Our 13 month old son really enjoys bouncing on the horse. It was discovered at a friend’s house and his laughter was enough for us to purchase one.

I wanted to get the Rody horse for my daughter, but I'm too cheap. I went with this one instead and I am not disappointed. My husband said it was really easy to inflate. He tried to kind of "overinflate" it so that it would stay stiff in the legs when she sat on it, based on previous reviewers recommendations. Definitely do that. The first time, it was too soft, so I told him to try to put more air in; he did and it works perfect. My daughter is 2.5 years old and an average height and build. This is a good size for her. She hasn't figured out how to actually hop on it, but she loves using it as a seat at "her" table (an end table). Sometimes she lays on it by sitting on it backwards and leaning her head back between it's ears.This horse is sturdy, does not have a smell and is relatively cute...or at least not an eyesore. It does come with a sort of oily coating, which is common for this sort of thing from the factory. Products like this can generate a lot of static while going over conveyors so the factory sprays it to keep static down. Easy fix, just wipe it down after you inflate it.We gave this to her on Christmas Day, as her main present, so we haven't had it long, but as of right now, we are very happy with it and hope to have it around for at least a year or so until she outgrows it.Edited: July 2015Well, my daughter has learned how to hop on this thing now. It is still her favorite toy (other than her two favorite stuffed animals that are her babies). She sometimes makes me bring this with us when we run errands, although it stays in the car. A family friend's eight year old son (a big boy) hopped around on it, and though he was way too big, it held up just fine. As of yet, we have not had to add any more air to it, as it has remained nice and fluffy and full. My daughter uses it inside and outside on the gravel driveway. It gets dirty, but a wet rag makes for an easy clean-up.Edited June 2016:A sad day has arrived in our house. My daughter has used her scissors and cut the ear. I attempted to patch it up with some stretchy vinyl repair tape and it held fine. Then, she cut the other tip of the ear, almost off. I was not able to successfully repair that ear. The tape worked great....just not on the ear with all those corners and curves. We had to quietly make the horse disappear one night. It was worth the cost for us, though. She had a good year-and-a-half use out of it, and it would have lived on, had she not snuck scissors into her playroom!

I thought this might be too small for my 5 year old but nope! It's an absolute favorite in our house and it gets all that energy out when it's too cold to play outside for extended periods. Comes with a pump and doesn't take long to inflate. The quality is very nice. Looks just like the picture!

My kid like it

I bought this for my then one year old son. Over the years he has thrown this toy, beat it, wrestled it to the point that we would take it away when he would get to aggressive and put it in "witness protection." My son is now eight. He still beats the crap out of it and I have never even had to replace the plug. Talk about durable.
