Let me start by saying that at this point it is packed back up in a box and in the closet. Part of the reason for it - smell, the second part is size.
smell - well I can't blame the manufacturer for it, but if you plan to put it in child's room - first fill it with air, place it in back yard (if you have one) and after a couple of days place it in the room, otherwise the room will stink of new plastic for weeks.

Size - this thing is much bigger than it looks. If you have a huge room - go for it, but if the room you put it in is small - think twice - this thing is relatively huge.

Pump - if you don't have an air pump in your house- you should buy one. Manual is OK, but it will take you 20+ minutes to blow all of the different sections of this thing. Manual pumps go for 5-7 bucks in your local drug store.

In summary - the toy is OK if you have a enough space, can ventilate the smell, and buy a pump.

After reviewing several ball pits, we chose the Sesame Street Ball Pit for our 19 month old; mainly because it had Elmo, was a decent size (although it's rather large once it's set up), and was under $40 with shipping. My son loves the ball pit. He jumps through the back doorway and side opening. He plays with the basketball hoop and push-through hole, and buries himself in the balls. There is not a slide which was listed on Amazon's description. Although we have a lot of fun with the pit, there are some drawbacks. Namely: it comes with only 75 balls (200-300 more fills it nicely), it is constructed of cheaper plastic, and the blow-up rails bend down so our son can jump in or out where he's not supposed to (he loves it...I have to correct him). Overall, it's a lot of fun if you have room. It will fit 2 children comfortably, up to 4 is a squeeze.

I purchased this for my 1 and 2 year olds. After reading reviews I made sure to find a space to fit it. We also inflated it a week before the birthday part to clear any plastic smell.

Since it's so big the kids did find it before the party but they love it.
Plan to get at least 300 balls though. I probabbly spent more on balls than the ball pit but it's worth it because the kids play together often in there.
