 It is bigger than it looks, also that rubber smells takes week+ to dissapear+ buy a pumpMay 12, 2007
By Fandorin
Let me start by saying that at this point it is packed back up in a box and in the closet. Part of the reason for it - smell, the second part is size.
smell - well I can't blame the manufacturer for it, but if you plan to put it in child's room - first fill it with air, place it in back yard (if you have one) and after a couple of days place it in the room, otherwise the room will stink of new plastic for weeks.
Size - this thing is much bigger than it looks. If you have a huge room - go for it, but if the room you put it in is small - think twice - this thing is relatively huge.
Pump - if you don't have an air pump in your house- you should buy one. Manual is OK, but it will take you 20+ minutes to blow all of the different sections of this thing. Manual pumps go for 5-7 bucks in your local drug store.
In summary - the toy is OK if you have a enough space, can ventilate the smell, and buy a pump.

Inexpensive and funMar 21, 2007
By Elliott's Mom
After reviewing several ball pits, we chose the Sesame Street Ball Pit for our 19 month old; mainly because it had Elmo, was a decent size (although it's rather large once it's set up), and was under $40 with shipping. My son loves the ball pit. He jumps through the back doorway and side opening. He plays with the basketball hoop and push-through hole, and buries himself in the balls. There is not a slide which was listed on Amazon's description. Although we have a lot of fun with the pit, there are some drawbacks. Namely: it comes with only 75 balls (200-300 more fills it nicely), it is constructed of cheaper plastic, and the blow-up rails bend down so our son can jump in or out where he's not supposed to (he loves it...I have to correct him). Overall, it's a lot of fun if you have room. It will fit 2 children comfortably, up to 4 is a squeeze.

I purchased this for my 1 and 2 year olds. After reading reviews I made sure to find a space to fit it. We also inflated it a week before the birthday part to clear any plastic smell.
Since it's so big the kids did find it before the party but they love it.
Plan to get at least 300 balls though. I probabbly spent more on balls than the ball pit but it's worth it because the kids play together often in there.

 We love this ball pit!May 20, 2008
By M. Wolford
I was a little unsure about buying this ball pit after reading previous reviews, but I am more than happy that I did! My daughter LOVES it. It is a large ball pit, definitely not a toy for the bedroom unless the room is huge. We have ours set up in the garage and pull it out to the grass so that our daughter can play in it outside. It would be great in a big playroom as well. When we set it up, we set it up outside and have left it in the garage, so the plastic smell hasn't been overwhelming at all. We really haven't even noticed it. An air pump is highly recommended as well, we used the air pump for our air mattress and it was up in minutes.
I purchased two hundred extra balls and it is full, I think that 75 wouldn't be enough.
As far as durability, we haven't had any problems with it. It is a plastic inflatable toy, so it can obviously get holes, but we haven't had any. It seems pretty durable.
I am extremely satisfied with this product, and as I said before, my daughter loves it! I would definitely recommend.

Good BuyFeb 21, 2007
By M. Hill
I give this ball pit 4 stars because my niece loves it! However, I would agree that it looks bigger than it is after you get it blown up - and you do need more balls! I bought this for my 13 month old niece - and she absolutly loves it - however after only 2 months with it - it is starting to rip at the seams in some areas - this could be due to the fact that she doesnt care to use the door on it - she just climbs over the edges. However, i gave it 4 stars because it is one of her favorite places to play - its like her little playhouse! Also great buy since I have amazon prime and didnt have to pay for shipping!!
