There is a phthalate in this, but I'm not certain In my review, I mentioned that the product is free, but it has an unpleasant On the Gaiam website, it is stated that this is made of PVC, which concerns me.
This could be used by an adult. It's used for core exercises and sometimes I sit on it with my kids as we watch TV. Those who weigh more than 200 pounds will not be allowed. It doesn't matter how tall the adult is, as long as he/she isn't
The ones I tested were not yet measured, but one of them was blown This is the height of a milk crate, and I would estimate its length is about 2 1/2 feet.

Selected User Reviews For Gaiam Kids Peanut Balance Ball, Orange
The kids loved it and it worked great for a short period of time. As often as 3 times a week) it would just deflate. A very small hole in the material caused the leak, which is near an obvious weak spot. Unfortunately it is no longer covered under warranty, so I'm not sure how to repair it. This sort of cost and apparently random quality is going to discourage me from purchasing a second one.
There may be such a thing as a thing. The 28th The event was a ker-fuffle I Shot This Boom With My Son. With this device, I can work on my son's upper body strength in a way that he appears motivated to participate in. As of today, I support part of his weight to keep him on a traditional ball, but if I were to use this, I could be as hands-free as possible. As I usually do, I have sensory integration activities I am planning using this too. I thought it would be good to have him straddle it while seated and work on his balance and movement on both sides of the chair. So the instructions that come with it are something I haven't seen before on a yoga ball If it says to inflate it the first day, then deflate it to 50% 24 hours later, then inflate it again to capacity desired (as always, do not This approach is rationalized by the fact that the material of the ball won't expand completely under the first inflation, so allowing it to expand will be effective. Here are the instructions that I followed. The most accurate statement might be, however, to say that I didn't need to deflate it 50% since it was already a fair bit below the level of inflation. Taking it all in one go. It was so noticeable that my daughter commented on it because the size decreased by so much in just 24 hours. This time around it has a bit more air retention after being air inflated again. Even so, it has still deflated more than I would have desired. What I am saying is. I haven't noticed my regular yoga ball has deflated that much (it is a different brand) and my son bounces on that thing like it's a trampoline all the time. One side of the front entrance way gate is held in his hands, and he bounces his bottom up and down on it with enough force to leave a foot of He hasn't been gentle in his handling of the ball, and it took months before any dramatic improvement in level of air was noticeable. After a few days, this ball has noticeable wear, even if it's not used a lot. It's harder for him to do upper body strength stuff, so he did try it because he loves the position, but he tires quickly, so this hasn't been tested hard and heavy. Because of that, he hasn't bounced on it, because it doesn't provide as much big air as the other ball does. His bounces are big and he likes them Hence, we don't get It's not used a lot, there's little sitting, and it's noticeable how deflated it is. Having a child who has as many developmental delays as mine does is a time crunch for me. My schedule is crazy, and when you have a child with developmental delays, your schedule is crazy as well. I find it hard to find time to refill this a few times a week. I think it can survive, but it would be nice if it contained more air. This is a product that seems to have some benefit to some people however, there have been some complaints about deflating, therefore it may be a problem about this product that you will experience at this point.
06/28 The thing exploded today while my son was on it, after less than two months of use and showing no signs of damage. It did not seem like he was vigorously bouncing on it. As far as I can tell, we have a yoga ball of a different brand that he uses much more vigorously than the one we have, and that There is a cheap little ball made of thin walls that he uses for basketball A ball that isn't even a yoga ball and can't even be bounced on, that he's had for over a year, he uses it every day. It's not even deflating and it's not exploding either. The exploded ball can be seen on the attached picture. The impact he took was hard enough for him to end up crying, which I find interesting because I was wondering how hard he hit the ground. There was a time when he wasn't aware of deep impact things due to his sensory issues, and that was scary. Now I am glad he felt it, since there was a time when he did not notice deep impact things so much. As a result, I am not a big fan of anything that can hurt my kid regardless of whether he feels it, so I will be downgrading this one and getting him a different brand, since between the deflating and the explosion, I cannot recommend it at this point.
The result I was looking for. When I bought the ball, I wasn't sure what size to expect. My 4yo loves to sit on my exercise ball so I wanted to buy him something he could use for taking his wiggles out. This is his favorite thing to do. I believe it is a great size for him, and our one year old has already used It can also be used as a back rest for adults.
There is no doubt that this product is very durable. Having 5 children and a dog means that everything is going to be destroyed immediately, so I have to find products that stand the test of time. As of yet, this baby has survived a month in the trampoline with the other six while we are in a Describe the location. It's been used by us to do some pretty crazy stuff.
What a wonderful idea! You should read the directions carefully regarding how to inflate or else you may be confused like I was about why it's You can use the instructions to fill the balloon with air until it reaches its.
Her 2nd birthday was in December, so we've been using it ever since. Her favorite way of playing with it is to bounce on it, roll it, or have us roll it over In addition to kicking and throwing it, she abuses it very badly. Besides drawing on it, she has also written all over it with a Sharpie. There are two more bottles to be filled Each month, we meet three times.
Since my hyperactive 4 year old boy has been using it for a few months, I've been able to keep it! Thus far, everything seems to be going well.
It's very thick so it won't rip easily, it also comes with a hand pump and is very easy to use.
