Flybar Hopper Ball for Kids - 18-Inch Inflatable Bouncy Ball with Handle, Supports 165 lbs, Includes Pump

The Flybar Hopper Ball is an inflatable bouncy ride-on toy built for active play indoors and outdoors. The small 18-inch (45 cm) version is designed for children ages 3 and up, with a maximum weight capacity of 165 pounds (75 kg). It comes complete with a hand pump and measuring tape, so you can inflate it quickly and start hopping without any extra tools. The textured handle helps little hands grip securely, supporting balance and coordination during bouncing, turning, and jumping.

How This Hopper Ball Supports Active, Screen-Free Fun

Whether your child is bouncing across the living room carpet or hopping on the grass in the backyard, this hopper ball keeps them moving in a playful way. It’s a simple, low-tech alternative to screens that encourages physical activity while improving gross motor skills. The thick, air-retentive surface holds its shape well during use, providing consistent bounce on smooth indoor floors or flat outdoor surfaces like patios and driveways.

What Size and Weight Capacity Does the Small Hopper Ball Have?

The small Flybar Hopper Ball inflates to 18 inches (45 cm) in diameter. It is recommended for children aged 3 years and older and can support up to 165 pounds (75 kg). Choosing the correct size helps ensure safer, more comfortable bouncing. If your child is older or heavier, consider the medium size (22 inches, supports up to 185 lbs) — but for ages 3+ and up to 165 lbs, the small size fits the bill.

What’s in the Box and How to Inflate

The package includes the hopper ball, a manual hand pump, and a measuring tape. Inflation is straightforward: attach the pump to the valve, pump until the ball reaches 18 inches (check with the tape), then insert the plug to seal. Let the ball rest for a few minutes so the material settles. No tools or electricity needed — just a bit of arm work. The safety information notes that this toy is for external use only.
