Gaiam Kids Stay-N-Play Children's Balance Ball, Flexible School Chair Active Classroom Desk Alternative Seating, Built-In Stay-Put Soft Stability Legs, Includes Air Pump, 45cm, Grey

I bought this ball for my son before we had to start remote schooling this past year. He has terrible posture and I had hoped this would help that as well as accommodate his tendency to wiggle. But it’s just too small for his desk.And yet I give this product 5 stars, because I am quite convinced this thing is indestructible. It has become the favorite gaming seat for my younger two sons. They sit on it. Bounce on it. Ride it like one of those bouncy balls with handles we used to have as kids.And it is absolutely unchanged! It never lost air, never popped or leaked. They love this thing! My younger two are ages 9 and 5, and they are the total opposite of gentle.So it is not being used the way I intended, but it is a fantastic product and I would recommend it to anyone.

I have bought 6 of these for my son's 4 grade teachers to use as chairs in their classrooms. Some of the kids like these; it helps them stay focused yet they can still be active. The knobs at the bottom keep the ball from rolling around and preventing distractions.When you first get them you inflate them and then you have to wait 24 hours. Then deflate them and then inflate them again to get the ball the the proper size. They are very high quality and unless someone takes a pair of scissors to them or deliberately stabs them, they will last a long time. I recommend using an air pump to inflate them and not the hand pump that is included.

This was smaller than anticipated compared to previous purchases. Not as stable as I would have thought. Still works as a seat.

These are so fun! I purchased the for my kids to sit on doing work or arts and crafts. My 6 year old son inflated them easily. They come with a manual pump which is super convenient. These chairs work so well to help my kids focus while still bouncing a bit other times it can be a distraction from work so that’s when we take a bounce break! For the most part I find my kids are more comfortable and focused when using these chairs we love them.

This product is way to small to site a 3rd grader a 8 to 9 year old. The ball is so low. The legs on the bottom just kinda help the ball stay in place somewhat. It more useful when the student is not sitting on it. It inflated very easily it was nice that the pump came with it. However size wise I recommend buying the next ball size up for 3rd graders. They have a lot of bounce to them and you will need to inflate every 2 weeks or so.

I bought this for my son who is in second grade. We use it for his desk chair at home. OMG! It is great! He loves it and home gets done without tears! I’m going to be asking the school if I can “donate” some to his class. He is one of several active boys in his class. I pray for his teacher everyday. P.S the legs are supposed to “give out” when they sit so they actively have to keep balance with in turn keeps them from fidgeting around. The legs are there so the ball doesn’t roll around when they get up.

We ordered 8 of the grey yoga ball chairs. Within two months time, four of them have popped, and they have not been punctured. We are using them in a classroom setting and they are popping over the weekend when they are not even being used. Another teacher at our school has the same chairs, but in green, and says they are sturdier. She has had some grey ones for a couple of months, and two of hers have also popped, but she has had the green ones for over a year, and none of them have ever popped. Can we please get 8 green yoga ball chairs instead?"​

Returned this because the little feet provide pretty much no extra stability to the ball. If want a ball to bounce or balance on, a regular exercise/yoga ball will work and can use for other purposes. The feet added nothing helpful and were pointless. We may also try the chair with the smaller ball that sits inside a ring, in place of a seat. But for this item’s stated purpose, not a good product. Quality overall fine, just not useful.
