I want to get my almost 1 yr old this for a bday present as a ball pit she is big for her age, 24lbs and very tall. Would this be a good ball pit?

I think so. We use it as a tub every night for our son (in a stand up shower stall) and he's quite comfortable. He's almost 3 & 37 lbs, so also a big kid. It's similar in size/quality to his old ball pit. Never thought to buy a pool for that use but great idea!

yes it's perfect. My daughter is also on the bigger side (27 lbs and 32 in at 22 mo) and there's plenty of room to grow

No, it's perfect, or at least a very doable size. My littlest one started playing with it when she was 1 1/2. My almost 5 year old still plays with it as well.

We have 400 and it's just enough for it to be considered a ball pit, but not super deep or anything. 200 more would probably be ideal IMO. I found the best deal on the balls at BRU ($20 for 200).

She should'nt.Just make sure the height you buy will function for her grown size as well.My 4 yr. old uses it.

I bought it for a 2 year old and she lovd it. She still rides it every day and is now over 3. I think it's really too tall for a 1 year old, but would look great as decor until she's old enough to ride it.

My two year old is 36 inches tall and its perfect for her. But she's been playing with this since she was 1 (she got it for her birthday). She LOVES this thing!

A 4yr old would be ok, for this one. I thought I ordered the large one. But this ball is really small and they can injure themselves on them. I would hate to see what the smaller one looked like. My grandson tried bouncing on it and the ball bounced forward and he busted his head on the ground. If your 4year old is very strong and has good control they may be able to use it. I thought my 3yr old grandson did, but everytime he tried it he got hurt.

It is actually the perfect size for a ball pit! The door would be the only problem but it would actually work almost perfectly! I think that is a great idea!

I would definitely say yes, but would need a very large room. We love ours, i have small children, 3 & 1, so its big enough for older and still shallow enough for younger, but with you using as a ball pit that should be no problem. Actually i think a ball pit is a great idea, again if u have the space. We used ours countless times all summer and minus one minor leak in one of the outer ring, slow leak, we had no problems. It served our family very well for the fun we had. I wouldnt rate it any less then any other blow up item, i thought it held up well, and we have also stored it now for next year.

My grand daughter is almost 2 and well over 25 pounds...we are in the process of figuring out the conversion to a big girl bed ONLY because she is, head to toe, just fitting in the bed now. Luckily she never sleeps all stretched out. LOL A pretty good deal, since she was only supposed to be in it til she was about 6 months old. That said, she jumps in it all the time and is pretty rough. It squeaks a bit, but that's the only thing I can find at fault.

I don't know that you can really go wrong with a ball from 5-9 inches. I have a 2 and a 4 year old and we have several different sizes. Probably their favorite one is about 6 or 7 inches inches in size. It is good for kicking and two handed throwing. I had bought an 8.5 inch one for my 6 year old nephew, but both girls can play with it too.

I think it would still be good due to the height adjustment. Good for helping them prepare for later on playing. He loves it.

My 7 year old uses ours, she's a big girl for her age. But I don't think she'll get very many years of use out of it. Check out the measurements. I think somewhere it says how many inches tall everything is. It's smaller than I expected.

I think so, my daughter is one year old and she sits pretty good but if you want something to use for a longer time, buy a different one.

Yes, quite a bit bigger. My pit mix is almost 11 mos old, 78 lbs, and a true chewer of everything. He hasn't made a dent in this ball yet & he's had it quite a while.

I think you will be fine. It is sturdy and has a wide base. My 16 month old can still use it with no issue.

It is durable enough for my daughter who is only 25 lbs and I think it should be good for a few years. That said, it is not the most durable piece of furniture so I don't think it would hold up well for bigger kids as I believe it was assembled with glue/tape and a few screws.
