Rachael Chavez: This was bought because my son who is autistic needs an energy outlet. Not only is it the perfect size for him to sit on and bounce but he can also move it around with his feet. Bonus is the fidget band. I have it around a dining room chair and he is now sitting at the dinner table for longer than a minute at a time.

Conspicuous ConsumerConspicuous Consumer: Addendum: Just discovered that this ball is great for pregnant family member with back pain. She finds it much more comfortable than traditional chairs.

Addendum: We've only had this ball for a few weeks and pieces have broken off two of the legs (see photos). Granted my hyperactive grandson has jumped around on this ball a lot but maybe they could use something other than soft rubber on the ends of the legs.

Original Review: I'm homeschooling a grandson who is too active for public school. I had him in a swivel desk chair but his twirling and the noises he made in the chair made teaching difficult.

Seated on the yoga ball, he still bounces but the bouncing makes no noise and he stays facing the computer. Thank God. We got in 5.5 hours of class on Friday which is a record.

Ursula Gorzkowski: Not as stable as expected. When I tried to return it, I was told that I had to pay $12.97 for return and deliver it to Purolator depot! I will definitely think twice about ordering from Amazon in the future!!

Mickey: I bought two of these as seating options in my Year 2 classroom (children aged 6-7). It's the perfect size for them and they really enjoy using them. They really help give the children the opportunity to move and bounce softly whilst doing their work - this really benefits some children and helps increase their focus for longer.

They seem good quality so far and if they stand the test of daily use over the last few weeks of term, and if the cost doesn't increase, I'll buy two more for my class next year.

Monica Quintini: Tengo un niño de 7 años TDAH, él simplemente ama esta pelota. La usa todo el tiempo para mirar TV, a veces la utiliza durante las clases en línea, o simplemente la usa para ejercitarse y moverse. Buena compra!

Jean-Gibbon: J'ai bien suivi les instructions de 1er gonflage en plusieurs étapes sur 48 heures : effectivement, le ballon ne se dégonfle presque pas alors que je m'en sers chaque jour aux repas, comme chaise, depuis 6 semaines.
Les 5 "pattes" permettent au ballon de rester en place et ne posent pas de problème lors de son utilisation.
Quant aux instructions d'exercices, elles ne sont fournis qu'en anglais sur le poster mais on peut les obtenir gratuitement (en français pour moi) en fournissant la preuve d'achat par mail à info@mantrasports.com.

magalie PAULIN: J'aurais été entièrement satisfaite su ce ballon n'était pas un ballon pour ENFANT. Je m'en sert de ballon dassise. pour qu'il soit à ma taille j'ai du le gonfler suffisamment et du coup il est trop dur et est inconfortable au bout d'un moment.

R. Cashion: My 10 yr old son has ADHD and has a hard time sitting for long periods of time without movement. He is easily distracted (like most boys are anyways). During distance learning in Spring I noticed it was difficult to keep my son engaged at his computer and stay engaged while his teacher was instructing him over Zoom for any length of time. Then over summer my son took on a bad habit of leaning backwards in his chair while playing video games and fell MANY times regardless of how many times I asked him to stop. On 1 occasion he broke his closet door falling into it. The final straw was breaking his brand new headphones that were just purchased for distance learning in Spring. The actual metal probe that inserts into his laptop was broken off into the laptop when he fell. Knowing California was ordered to 100% distance learning for Fall 2020, I decided I needed an alternate chair for him. I was given a recommendation to try a yoga ball for him. After extensive research, I chose this brand due to the great reviews and needing a particular size. My son is 10 years old and just under 5 ft tall weighing about 65 pounds. I decided on the 55cm would be best for his size/weight. After using...
