Customer Rating:      Summary: Fun, versatile, not perfect. Comment: I love these balls- I had one when I was a kid, and put it on my two-year-old's wishlist last year. A relative bought it and I was thrilled. However, I couldn't stop my son from pulling the plug out with his teeth, as mentioned by another user. He also bit it several times- making a small tear one time (not all the way through the surface, and finally tearing through at a later time. I don't like the length of the plug- it protrudes far into the center of the ball, so if, for example, a kid sits on it with the plug on the bottom, the plug could jab into their leg or bottom. Also, as mentioned, the ball does not bounce as expected if it lands on the hard plug. Still a fun toy, but more suited for elementary kids than toddlers.
Customer Rating:      Summary: ok, but bad design Comment: my child has spent a decent amount of time kicking this ball and playing with it. that's the good news.
the bad news is the plug used to seal the ball (not shown in pictures) is hard plastic and protrudes. if thrown this hard piece of plastic could hit your child in the head or face. i don't think it could poke an eye though. second, it won't bounce right if it comes down on this plug. third, and most troubling, i believe a child could pull the plug out with her teeth. choking hazard.
i think they could have done better with the design.
Customer Rating:      Summary: This was a theraputic ball for rehab purposes Comment: Unfortunately the wrong size (s) were sent which was very disappointing. I was also disappointed about the length of delivery.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Durable toy Comment: I like it, but if you order more than one, be sure to receive different colors, I received just one color....
Customer Rating:      Summary: Gertie Ball is fantastic! Comment: I am the mom of a 3 year old and a preschool teacher. My daughter has owned a gertie ball since she was 6 months old. The ball is easy to grip for small hands, easy to inflate and can withstand our labrador biting the ball. I recently bought 12 to use in the preschool. My class of 4 year olds love these balls. As a teacher, I love that they can play without fear of damaging the property or hurting another child because they are so soft! I also have 45lb. kids sitting on them like hippity-hops and they never bust. I give gertie balls as birthday gifts or shower gifts. They are wonderful!
