My four month old loves it!
A mom in my group had a similar one of these for her baby who just loved it. So when we were walking through the baby aisles at Target, we saw this one and just put it in the stroller with our baby to see if he would like it--and he played with it the entire time! So, of course, we bought it!
He has many other rattle-type toys meant for grabbing, but this is...

I Prefer Oball over this ball
Oball makes balls similar to this one and our children love them. They even make the baby version with a rattle inside. My children prefer the regular without the rattle and it will be played with for years rather than as a baby toy that will soon be forgotten. My kids put small stuffed animals inside the ball and roll them around the room. They are also easy for...

My four month old loves it!, June 7, 2009
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
A mom in my group had a similar one of these for her baby who just loved it. So when we were walking through the baby aisles at Target, we saw this one and just put it in the stroller with our baby to see if he would like it--and he played with it the entire time! So, of course, we bought it!
He has many other rattle-type toys meant for grabbing, but this is the first one he has actually grabbed on to and played with. It is very sturdy and actually a little heavier than I anticipated by just looking at it--I was worried it might be too heavy for him to pick up (since we had never really seen him pick up anything before) but he manages with no problems!

Lots of Different Ways to Throw a Bendy Ball, October 3, 2009
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
My twin 9-month olds, like all babies of that age, love to show when they're displeased by throwing something. When they try that with the Bendy Ball, most of the time they forget why they got upset.
This cute thing can be bent while holding and you can put your fingers inside it. Plus the ball inside that you can't quite get out has a little ball inside it that sounds like a bell almost. If you want to throw it to show your displeasure at something, you'll end up putting your fingers into it first. Those distractions are priceless.
By the time baby finally rolls this ball, it is with a positive frame of mind, and she wants it back to try again.
I can see that this durable little toy is going to be used in many ways and constantly. It's a lot of fun to roll their way and see how they try to figure out what to do with it.
Beyond that, the colors are great. The 5 outer caterpillar parts on diameter are cute. I think this is an educational toy that teaches about hand manipulation.

Good for grabbing, September 23, 2009
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
I like this toy because my almost 6-month old son can easily grab and hold on to it. However, he's at the stage where he wants to put everything in his mouth, and he tends to get frustrated becaues this doesn't really lend itself to being chewed on. I think he'll like it more when he can play with it like a ball, rather than trying to use it as a teether.

I Prefer Oball over this ball, October 27, 2009
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
Oball makes balls similar to this one and our children love them. They even make the baby version with a rattle inside. My children prefer the regular without the rattle and it will be played with for years rather than as a baby toy that will soon be forgotten. My kids put small stuffed animals inside the ball and roll them around the room. They are also easy for little fingers to hang on to. Get the Oball! Skip this one. This ball has that smiley face thing that makes the ball roll less smoothly across the floor.

Baby likes but a lot of visible screws and not bendy, December 31, 2009
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
Baby likes this but I do question safety given all the interior screws which you can easily see. If one comes lose and you don't realize it, baby may swallow it. It is not really bendy (have to be really strong to push it in) and should have a hook or some way to attach to stroller or seat because it quickly falls out of little hands. It is a nice concept, just needs some changes, especially with the screws! Also, not sure if this is BPA free or not.

This ball is just right for little ones, they can grasp easily, colorful, and engages with the ball inside. Very entertaining.

so simple yet entrancing, November 17, 2009
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
It could be that my daughter has a thing for balls b/c she also likes the plastic Gymboree balls. I bought this around 4 months. It was easy for her to pick up and mouth. At 7 months she likes to throw it and shake it.
I will say that it's not very bendy. I'd describe it as "having some give." My daughter can't bend it herself, and it takes some effort on my part. It also don't roll around like a ball, owing to the caterpillar running along the outside of the ball. I find this useful b/c it doesn't roll out of my daughter's reach, but don't get it if you're expecting to play ball with it.

great toy, August 23, 2009
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
I got this for my son when he was about 4 months old, and he immediately loved it. He could grab it anywhere as the ball is an open lattice and shake it like a rattle. Later, he would throw it to hear it jingle. Very inexpensive and you can clip it onto a stroller or carseat with links. Inexpensive entertainment.

careful -- sharp edges that can hurt fingers, May 18, 2010
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
This is a poorly designed product. The photo conceals the fact that the rounded-off struts forming the grabbing surface of the ball are completely flat on the back. This creates a hard, quite sharp edge wherever the child grasps the ball and it can scrape the skin if the child shakes her hand it to let go (like some other reviewers' kids, our son sometimes had trouble figuring out how to release his grasp at first and would try to shake it off his hand). It's also fairly heavy, firm plastic so when the child flings it it can hurt a toe or forehead, though not seriously.
The toy is really not suitable for young babies, and I am surprised it is so popular. We got rid of this one and got a few Oballs [Original Oball] - similar concept, minus the ball inside, but made of truly soft and rounded-off rubbery plastic. It super easy for babies to grab and toss, and light enough that it can't hurt anyone even if thrown hard. Another version also includes a rattle, which our son liked. (I have nothing to do with Oball and am NOT trying to astroturf -- just annoyed at Baby Einstein for selling this poorly thought out product).

Great for babies even in the supported sitter stage., January 17, 2010
This review is from: Baby Einstein Bendy Ball (Baby Product)
I bought this toy unsure if it would roll well enough. It rolls just fine and the holes are a bonus making it extremely easy for baby to grab hold of it. All they have to do is reach a hand out and most likely they will knock it about or grab hold. The jingle ball inside of it is an added stimulation bonus. I definitely recommend this product.
