My Autistic Toddler Loves this!
My son is 4 years old and he is a major sensory seeker and he is non-verbal but let me tell you when he is playing with this ball he makes sounds and giggles I’ve never heard out of him. He loves it and I feel like it is the perfect size for him even though he is a large 4 year old. He bounces on it like no tomorrow, it fulfills a lot of his sensory input needs for the day and I feel like it was a great purchase. I have had it for a couple months now and it has not lost any air and has kept it’s shape, very durable. I love that this is helping my sons needs. Thank you for making this product! I highly recommend this for other teachers, parents, therapists, and family!

Surprisingly durable
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 itâs 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.

useful
got for my 4 year old to sit on at her arts and crafts bench table. buuuut I use it more than her. Itâs great for those who are unable to squat or sit on knees. I used it just today to pull weeds. I canât use my adult size exercise ball for that, itâs too tall. But this is perfect. My teen saw me on it and said I was popping it (because the âlegsâ where completely buckled. Those are not legs, just little nubs so the ball doesnât roll around. They canât support ANY weight, because theyâre not legs. Friggin kids man. Anywhoo, the whole family uses this, so far itâs still living

Loved them so much I bought them a 2nd time
I got my twins these when they were too young and they couldnt really use them to their fullest potential. They played with them for sure but never used them for what I hope they will use them for this time. I have another kid and all 3 are high energy. They are in school and have a hard time sitting. Im hoping that this will encourage them to stay seated at their home desks and maybe school desks as well. Even if they dont these exercise balls are pretty and good quality. I really like them and Im excited to have them back in our home again.

Quality product, but size of ball didnât work great despite using the products size chart.
Got this for Kindergartner who is learning virtually. Searched many balls-based on reviews went with this one. The material is strong and holds air. Problem with is it difficult for him to actually âsit onâ easily without bouncing or rolling around to a point where itâs not the safest to sit on in front of a desk-if he sits on the middle of it it will roll forwards or backwards. I have tried adjusting the amount of air in it but havenât found a size that makes it easier for him to sit and the instructions arenât very clear on what diameter itâs supposed to be. He has a good sense of balance in general-I donât think that is it. My guess is the length of his legs are not long enough to touch the ground when on it-kids have different body proportions even if they are the same âheight.â He enjoys (sometimes too enthusiastically) bouncing on in when sitting at his desk) which does get some wiggles out when in front of a screen for hours) so did not return it. However, my goal was to have something he could also keep still on while he writes and does projects. As a reference, I (5â4â and well over 100lbs) am able to balance on it just fine without rolling and it hold up under my weight. Another thing to consider (for those who intend to use this as a replacement for a chair at a desk) is the height of the desk and whether or not it works well in that way. I had a hard time determining this by the description of the ball. The little âlegsâ on the bottom do prevent it from rolling away when not in use (but they are not meant for nor help in balancing) to a degree. It came with an extra plug to seal it off (doesnât come with a pump but is easy to inflate with a hand pump). To sum it up, the ball seems to be made of quality material, holds itâs shape and will stay in place when not in use. I gave it less stars because it doesnât seem the right fit, even though I used the guidelines in the description of the product-which I feel is very important. The âcomfortâ level and âstabilityâisnât great. I found so many choices when searching for an item like this that I just picked one that seemed to have decent reviews. There is a âpeanutâ shaped one out there-but seems like it not made to sit in the right direction to use as a chair at a desk. I didnât have the time or energy to return it and try out other ones-and maybe would have found one that worked out better. If you are looking for a balance ball to use not as a replacement for a chair at a desk (like to sit on while playing video games or just for fun) itâs a quality product and decently priced.

Classroom Tested
I used 2 of these in the classroom and they are holding up nice. I also bought a different brand from a teacher store and two of those stated leaking air. I will only buy these now!

DO NOT BUY!! Defective products!!
DO NOT BUY!!As a classroom teacher, I had purchased 2 yoga balls in July during their Amazon Prime Days. I did not inflate the balls until the week of August 26- the first week of school. Once inflated, one ball (manufactured in 2019) was perfect while the second one had a hole in it. Because it was past the Amazon return days, I contacted GAIAM and they replaced my yoga ball. The new yoga ball was manufactured in 2018 and was defective once again. The holes on the feet of the balls were lined with a thin plastic. There was holes that were letting air out. Thinking maybe it was I had bad luck with the balls, I ordered another one in September. Silly me, to think that the ball wonât be defective. Please refer to the pictures. You can clearly see that the feet was manufactured (2018)wrong once again. I tried to contact customer service at GAIAM and have gotten ZERO response.Please, donât buy this product. It is not worth your time and effort!!!The first 2 pictures are from the September order. The last 2 are of the companyâs âreplacement productâ.

Smaller-preschool size
The kids liked sitting on them but they were too low to sit at a desk with them.

As a fourth-grade teacher, engaging my students and keeping them focused during lessons is always a priority. The Gaiam Kids Stay-N-Play Inflatable Balance Ball Desk Chair has been an absolute game-changer in my classroom. Not only does it provide a comfortable seating option, but it also encourages active sitting, which has had a noticeable impact on my students’ attention spans and overall engagement. The vibrant blue color adds a pop of fun to our learning environment, and the stability legs ensure that the chairs stay securely in place, even during the most energetic moments.What I love most about these balance ball chairs is their versatility. Whether my students are working independently at their desks, participating in group activities, or listening to a lesson, the chairs accommodate their movements and provide the support they need to stay focused. Additionally, the inflatable design makes them easy to store and transport, allowing me to rearrange my classroom layout with ease. Plus, they’re durable enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of an active classroom environment.Overall, the Gaiam Kids Stay-N-Play Balance Ball Desk Chair is a fantastic addition to any classroom setting. It promotes better posture, strengthens core muscles, and encourages movement, all while providing a comfortable and fun seating option for students. If you’re looking to create a dynamic learning environment that fosters engagement and active participation, I highly recommend giving these chairs a try. Your students will thank you for it!
