 o.k., but there must be better options June 27, 2010
V. Doehler (California)
This ball doesn't stay blown up firm - in a couple of days, I have to put the straw back in and blow it up again, as it has become quite soft and not able to bounce. Also, as other reviewers have noted, the stem sticks way out and so you don't have a ball that can bounce right. However, it is great for little hands to grip the ball, as the material is sorta 'sticky' but not leaving a a residue or anything. My little granddaughter does play with it, but since getting this, I got a couple of balls with the knobs on that seems to be better.
cute ball, not worth the money May 19, 2010
The ball will not stay inflated... grrr...
Then to blow it up with the straw and try and keep it at that inflated level while pushing the plug in is a bit of a pain. But, my 3 year old LOVES balls so she's not so dissapointed. It's got a funky soft like feel to it so it is appealing that way.
 Just perfect for my twins December 12, 2009

My twins are at the age where they find balls so interesting. They can play with one for hours, it seems like. I was in the market for a sturdy ball that could hold the weight of them laying on the ball and jumping onto the ball. I also wanted to find a ball that was soft enough to not hurt so much when one twin would throw the ball at the other twins' head. The Gertie ball seems to fit the bill. We can inflate the ball as much or as little as we like. The balls are soft, yet tough for little ones who rather chew or lay on the ball. The most important part is that the kids love them. They sit and giggle at each other when one throws the ball or when they bounce the ball-- it has a very good bounce by the way. I received two of the same color (green) as other reviewers mentioned. I would rather have two different colors so that way they do not fight over the same ball. Either way, it's a good, simple, quality toy that will have years of use out of it.
Gertie Balls Rule! August 21, 2009

I purchased these balls to use in an exercise class with children and adults...and they work great! They are easy to hold -- and can be inflated to a range of sizes (small hands, large hands). They have worked out great!!!! -- AND -- are considerably less expensive than the balls that are "marketed" as small exercise balls.
gertie ball is a hit May 19, 2009
S. E. Salz (San Diego)
Our 9 month old daughter loves this ball..she can grasp it easily as you can blow it up as much or as little as you like. We like that it's not latex and she can put it safely in her mouth. We found out about the gertie ball at our music class and decided we had to have one at home.
