I selected this item for my daughter after I saw her punching balloons at her birthday party with her grandfather holding them for her. She loves this even more than I thought she would. I deflated it when she had not played with it in a few days, then she asked me to put air in it again. It falls back when she hits it, and it immediately rebounds, but not in a way that it hits her back or harms her at all. She has played with it quite a bit at this point, and it has been reinflated several times (only because she let the air out, it does not deflate on its own at any noticeable rate), and it is still in perfect condition. I love that it comes with a sand bag built in for stability. We love the colors and the characters on both sides. Great for expending some of that little kid energy.

I bought this for my 2 highly ruff grandchildren & so far it has succeeded the pounding! They punch kick dive bounce on it & it bounces back. If my grandchildren start getting angry with each other, they’ll take it out on the punching bag. It really takes the frustration plus it tired them out. Very great toy!! I planned on getting another one!

This was super easy to inflate. I love that it has sand in it already so it pops right back up. This is perfect for my little ninja to practice on! It was THE hit of our Christmas morning, and it is still a favorite item in our living room to practice every day. It's definitely worth it.

My 3 year old daughter is extremely active and can’t sit still for more than 10 minutes, shes currently in gymnastics and we got this punching bag for her to stay active in the backyard. The bag comes with sand already and it’s easy to blow up. She enjoys punching, kicking and playing with it while challenging herself.
