- Retro Hopper
After reading a couple of bad reviews about this space hopper I almost didn't buy it but I decided the odds were in favour of it and to go with the reviews written by the people who were happy with it and I'm glad now I did. I bought two of these space hoppers for my grandchildren for Christmas so I thought it wiser to open them and test them now in case there were any problems. I can't see any problems at all with either of them and they look exactly as the picture shows them. I had no bother with the valve and the seams are perfectly ok and not leaking any air. Now its just a case of waiting for Christmas to watch how much fun I know my grandchildren are going to have on them :)

Fantastic back to basic`s great exercise and healthy family fun toy,dont know what pevious reviewer`s expect for £8.49 perhaps they should stick to their £39.99 computer games,we have also purchased the 4 pack hopper`s
and garden games and created our own sports day,absolute great value for money.

- AVOID AVOID AVOID WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS RATING IF POSSIBLE
I AM NOT ONE TO COMPLAIN BUT FEEL I SHOULD WARN POTENTIAL BUYERS OF THIS HOPPER TO STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS POSSIBLE. I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS "CHEAP TAT" AND THATS BEING POLITE. AS MENTIONED BY AN EARLIER REVIEWER IT IS NOT THE ONE DEPICTED IN THE MAIN PICTURE BUT AN ITEM OF ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL QUALITY. I STOOD THERE BLOWING IT UP (OR SHOULD I SAY TRYING TO BLOW IT UP) AS THE AIR ESCAPED RAPIDLY THROUGH THE NUMEROUS SPLIT SEAMS IN THIS LOW GRADE POOR QUALITY PRODUCT. MY LITTLE GIRL STOOD THERE CRYING AS HER VERY ANGRY FATHER DUMPED THIS CRAP IN THE ONLY PLACE IT DESERVES TO BE AND THAT WAS IN THE BIN. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND CHOOSE ANOTHER HOPPER. THE QUALITY OF THE PUMP FOLLOWS THE HOPPER ITSELF AND YOU WOULD BE LUKCY FOR IT TO WITHSTAND ONE INFLATION OF THE HOPPER. I HAVE CONTACTED AMAZON AND AT THIS TIME AM AWAITING A REPLY.

Well, it did drive us crazy trying to blow it up the night before our son's birthday. Try as I might, I couldn't fit the nozzle of the included foot pump into the valve on the hopper. Husband couldn't either. Balloon pump didn't work nor did puffing into it ourselves. Several work colleagues the next day also tried and failed.
Eventually, after much deliberation, we decided to cut the white stalk of the valve, inflate it and stick the stalk back in then sellotape it in place. I still don't know if it is what you're supposed to do or not but it worked. Our three year old loves rolling around on top of it - hasn't mastered bouncing yet!
Rating: - Best fun we've had since the 70's
I am so pleased with this toy. We purchased this for our nephew's birthday, he loved this more than all his other presents! so did his parents who seem to spend more time on it! Excellent value for money and great fun.
