 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend Get ready for some poppin', droppin', air-powered fun. Drop the five colorful balls onto the track.

Silly sound effects and eight upbeat tunes accompany the animated action. This toy provides one "air-mazing" experience for your… Product details and pricing info |

- So much fun!
- When my brother got this toy for my son's first birthday, I secretly thought to myself "well, he's probably never going to play with that." Boy was I wrong! Almost 6 months later it is still his favorite toy. And I have to admit- I think it's kinda fun too. The batteries last a long time, and the balls are extremely lightweight so they bob you when they come out, it's just funny- not at all painful or scary for the little one.
My only issue with this toy is that I am constantly fishing things out of it. My son apparently thinks that if the balls are so much fun, duplo blocks, cars, and nutrigrain bars will be a blast. (Don't worry- the only thing shooting out of this toy is the balls it came with.) It's kinda hard to clean sticky things out of it- you have to consider that with toddlers- so as long as you keep the Nutrigrain bars put away while Junior's playing with this toy, you'll be good. :) - 2008-06-24, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Fun, but not durable
- I bought this for my son and he loved trying to catch the balls coming out. Too bad the toy did not last and the balls stopped popping out. We returned it and got a new one and the same thing happened. The motor does not seem to work well and I would not recommend it as neither toy lasted more than two weeks.

- No laughter
- I read a whole bunch of reviews before I bought this toy and everyone was saying how much their kids adored it and the laughter that it brought so I was very excited to get it for my 10 month old son. He does enjoy playing with it but he doesn't get the concept of putting the balls back into it yet. He likes to turn it on but after he grabs a ball and watches it for a minute he doesn't know what else to do. He does like putting his face into the air flow (when there's no balls in it) so that's fun for him.

- He cried!
- I bought this popper for my 8 1/2 month old, thinking he would love the popping balls. It probably would have been okay, but the vacuum sound scared him silly! As soon as I pushed the red plunger and the vacuum started, he cried hysterically. I even tried it a few times, just to see if he would get used to it, but no luck. I might have kept the product until he was older to see if he liked it then, but whenever I turned it on, the balls kept popping out and it was very annoying. I could see losing the balls within a few days as well as the cats getting ahold of them. Good idea, but fix the sound issues and the balls popping out!

- Seems to have a design flaw
- I thought this looked like so much fun, but I'm really disappointed. When the balls pop out they either come back down on the edge of where they came out and fly across the room or, as they come down, another ball is coming out and they hit each other and both fly across the room. Within five seconds, every ball is out of the ball popper and the baby is left there waiting for something to happen. When he realized the show is over, he crawls off unamused.
