My daughter, who is 10 now, has asked for this for Christmas for several years now and I would never buy it because I didn't think it would be durable. Her and her friends have played with it indoors non-stop since Christmas. A few of the clear bubbles have deflated, but I have not checked to see why - if it is a hole in the plastic or what the problem is.

This ball is huge and takes up a lot of space inside. Also blowing it up presents some problem, so I would definitely get the pump that comes with it. Overall makes a great wow factor, but should be used primarily outside and unless you live in Ca. or Fl, kinda out of question for the Christmas season.

This has been a great toy for my kids. We have a huge playroom, and it has only been used inside, so there hasn't been any problems of punctures to it. It is as fun to roll as it is to ride in it. My 10 nieces and nephews, plus my kids have a "ball" with it.

I bought this toy (51" Giga Ball)for my 3 children for Christmas. I didn't actually inflate it until the day after Christmas. Here it is 2 days after Christmas and all of the clear sections on the ball are popped and deflated. Several of them popped just while being inflated. My daughter says it doesn't matter if you inflate it by mouth or compresser, it still pops and deflates. This toy cost me about $60 and it will probably last another few days before it goes into the trash......It is fun but is not worth $60, and it isn't durable AT ALL. It was used on grass, after the yard was carefully cleared of debris, and it still pops....TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!

This was a special Santa gift. It was ALL my daughter wanted for X-mas and against my better judgement, we went for it. It had leaks within 1 hour of finally inflating it. We are all soooo disappointed. :-(
