happyWImom Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 We might do this instead of the plasmacars, because I found out you shouldn't use them on hardwood floors. So, I've been doing my research, and the Gymnic balls got good reviews, except people said that the handle was thin (not tubular) and broke easily. So now I'm wondering which ones I should get. I'd love to get one too, and some do go up to adult size. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lilreds in NC Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Do you know, Schmooey got an Iron Man bouncing ball from the dollar store for his birthday, and he LOVES it. I would be tempted to check there, stock up on a few extras in case one breaks, and call it good. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lilreds in NC Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I was going to say that the Rody horse-like things looked good, and lo and behold, they are made by Gymnics. I never got around to buying them for my kids when they were little enough but I always thought they looked like fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplain Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Jumpingballs.com has great products. My girls and I each have one. They have great customer service too. I'll be buying several for Xmas gifts, including one for my SIL, who decided she wants one after I bought one for her 3yo. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 We've had a Gymnic Hop and a Rody for 3 years now, stored outside in the garage, left in the 117 Arizona sun for a few days, used on gravel, grass, sidewalk, pavement, every possible puncture threat, and they both have survived. Not one leak. I highly recommend them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one leak. I highly recommend them! Almost the same story with the same toys, but in Mississippi heat and humidity. I am pretty sure Rody was purchased for Bacon when she was 2, so it is going on 8 years and is on its third child. Wonderful product!
