The 10 Best Hopper Balls | Top 10 Kids Toys

This review has been updated 19 times since it was first published in December of 2016. These hopper balls offer a great opportunity to let your children — or yourself — bounce off excess energy while getting some exercise into the bargain. As well as being a perennial fun toy that almost all kids love, they can also help with the development of coordination skills. Of course, they should always be used with plenty of adult supervision, especially on hard surfaces.

Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Hedstrom 18-Inch

The Hedstrom 18-Inch is large enough to accommodate relatively tall children, but they have to be pretty slim to enjoy the ride safely, as it won’t support anyone weighing over 100 lbs. It sports attractive and colorful drawings.

9. Waliki Toys Sit & Bounce

The Waliki Toys Sit & Bounce inflates to 18 inches in diameter in under five minutes with the included hand pump. It complies with the ASTM-F963 safety standard, though small children should always be supervised on one of these.

8. Little Tikes HB

The recessed valve on the Little Tikes HB creates a smooth and safe surface for the young children it’s designed to entertain. This one is on the smaller side, compared to the competition, which makes it easier to inflate by mouth, if necessary.

7. Waliki Toys Tie Die Rainbow

Given their popularity among children, it was only a matter of time before someone made these specifically for adults. The Waliki Toys Tie Die Rainbow is the result of that entrepreneurial spirit, and its large stature accommodates grownups perfectly.

6. Hedstrom 15-Inch Graphic

The Hedstrom 15-Inch Graphic comes with any of 20 different graphics printed on it, depending on which will get your kids most excited to climb aboard and start bouncing. Its heavy gauge vinyl should ensure a long lifespan.

5. Rhode Island Novelty 36-Inch Knobby

As its name implies, the Rhode Island Novelty 36-Inch Knobby is covered in a slew of tiny little protrusions. These serve to add stability and prevent slippage on slicker play surfaces. Its size makes it suitable for both kids and adults.

4. Hedstrom 15-Inch

The Hedstrom 15-Inch offers a handful of color options, some of which are solid while others are striped or polka-dotted, giving you the opportunity to have a custom look bouncing underneath you. It inflates quickly via its removable plug.

3. Waliki Toys Jumping Hot Dog

If you’re worried that a standard round model might present too much of a challenge, then the Waliki Toys Jumping Hot Dog may be the answer. Its adequately sized handles will keep it firmly within your child’s grasp, as well.

2. AppleRound Space Hopper

Given the 20-inch diameter of the AppleRound Space Hopper, as well as its 200-pound maximum capacity, it’s clear that the target demographic is a little older than some, which means anyone, from preteen to adult, won’t be left out of the fun.

1. SueSport Kangaroo Hoppity Hop

After being tested through 10,000 loading cycles of approximately 160 pounds, the SueSport Kangaroo Hoppity Hop had no “mutations” occur, meaning that you can use it safely and without a change in its shape or bounce over time.
