Bouncy Cow

I am very happy with this purchase. This looked cute online but it is cuter in person. Our little chubby blue horse is a hit with my son. Also, this looks to me the best price online; needless to say much cheaper than those selling in shops. It's a great deal for something that can bring children the real fun, for now too many toys a child would have and only few of them are used often. Unlike other expensive and easy broken toys, this one is very durable. It is much used by my 3 years son in all way around. It has been kicked around, thrown up and down, dragged along stoned path, bounced on lawn, and even on concrete and paving stones. To my surprise, it just stays as it is, save for a few dirt marks you would get from outside. To clean it is super easy, wash it with running water, the dirt would come off completely, dry with cloth then, it becomes shiny and clean again for indoors use. The rubber is a bit strong-smelling when opening the wrapper. But once the horse is inflated, the smell becomes faint. Being left outdoors overnight, the smell pretty much disappears. After used a few times, the smell is completely gone. This is just the same experience I had for the old one, which is twice as expensive as this. Package includes a handy pump that does the job nicely. But inflating the horse is a little tricky; you've got to close the air hole with the white plug quickly after it is fully inflated, or the air would escape from the air hole. Another solution is to inflate the horse more than enough before replacing the plug to prevent air to escape, or prepared to plug the hole really fast after fully inflation. Good side is once the inflation is done and air stopper is inserted into the air hole, the air won't lose at all and the hopper doesn't change the shape. Oh, yes, before pumping, remember to remove the white plug first, as the horse is delivered with white plug inserted into the air hole already. The white plug is the air stopper. Thus, remove the plug in order to pump, and replace it to close the air hole after hopper is fully inflated. It would be an even better product if it came with the color box. When I receive the parcel, the horse is wrapped in a thick plastic bag sitting in an Amazon brown box, not contained in a color box as those in stores. It would be a super gift all year round if it is packed in a nice color box. But this may explain why its price is so good. This hopper was delivered to me by Amazon promptly and the box arrives in good condition. The package was a little huge, but that's better than them stuffing it in a too-small box. The order was fulfilled by Amazon so shipping was fast, as usual. Box contains a horse, a pump, and a spare white plug. The horse has released my son's energy, and trained his sense of balance. It has exceeded my expectations. Value for money.

This is a very well thought out product!! The horsey is pretty heavy duty rubber and comes with it's own pump and replacement plugs in case you lose one! Using the supplied pump it inflates very quickly, took me about 2 min of rather lazy pumping to get it inflated enough that it was usable. We actually ended up buying three of these. My wife and I have 3 kids, a 4 year old and twin 19 month olds (yes, it's very chaotic) so anything we can find that will run them around and tire them out is great! So we bought two red Hoppers and one blue Hopper. Our 4 year old absolutely loves his! His a bit tall for his age so his legs kinda jut out to the sides as he's using it but, whatever. So, once we saw my son take off like a shot on his we thought "We're golden for at least 10 min once we get the twins on theirs!". So I quickly inflated the other two, and we joyfully presented them to the twins. The both immediately screamed in terror and clawed their way up my legs. If you have never had a combined 50 lbs of screaming toddlers scaling your legs in a frenzy of fear, I have to tell you....it ain't fun! We are slowly trying to acclimate them to the Hoppers but so far (1 week) they haven't taken to them. Maybe it's something about the eyes? Anyhoo, I think that's a particular quirk of our children and not a problem with the Hoppers themselves. Overall these are great active toys for kids at a great price. If you have relatively skittish kids maybe wait until 2 to 3 years? Like I said my 4 year old loves his but he will probably outgrow it in a couple of months.

This is rugged and tons of fun for the kid and very easy to get on and off for him

Just got this for my about to be 18 month old. Last month I got a hopper ball for my 3 year old daughter and it turns out my 18 month old liked it just as much as, if not more than her. Unfortunately, he can't bounce on the hopper ball by himself yet (I sit him on it and bounce him while I hold him), so I thought this horse would be a great alternative because he could bounce on it himself. He has a difficult time getting on and off of it, usually it involves him losing his balance and falling, but he is getting the hang of it. Once he is on it, he can hold on to the horse's ears and bounce on his own. He LOVES it! He giggles and smiles from ear to ear while he bounces! I've noticed he doesn't bounce quite as much as compared to the hopper ball, but that could be that he is still figuring it out and doesn't want to fall. My 3 year old likes this horse, too. She hops around with the horse taking it wherever she goes. This horse is designed to be stationary, but that doesn't stop her. I can't compare the quality to other hopper toys like this, but this seems to be very good quality. While I didn't put my entire weight on it, I bounced on it (I weigh about 140) for a minute and it seemed to be fine and durable.

It’s adorable, BUT be very careful because it is too heavy with the head of the cow and the head of a child not quite ready for the toy (2yr old). I have stopped quite a few FACE Plants. 😬

Nice

5 stars for fun and cuteness. 4 stars for quality. The rubber is surprisingly thick, but the first one we ordered tore at a seam after inflation before it was even played with. Amazon replaced it and the 2nd one has been phenomenal. First was a fluke I guess. Easy to inflate and very user friendly and kid fun. It's a pet, a doll, a bouncer...love it! My 1yo can sit on it and reach the ground, my 2yo bounces all around on it. Probably too small for 4yo and up to use well.

We have had this thing for years. It’s held up perfect. Easy to clean, fun, and super cute
