Title: Poor quality ball, poor quality pump
Review: I read the instructions carefully, and tried to inflate the ball as described in the instructions.First, the included cheapie plastic pump split a seam within 3 minutes. Since the ball can't be inflated with a standard sports ball needle, we had to jerry-rig a patch for the pump, and continued to try to inflate the ball with a (now) leaking pump.15 minutes later, taking turns because it was so difficult, we got the ball *almost* fully inflated, according to the included measuring tape. Deciding not to press our luck, we got the plug ready, pulled out the inflation nozzle, and the ball popped straight down the center.Let me emphasize this: WE DID NOT OVER-INFLATE THE BALL. The manufacturer-provided measuring tape, which we had CAREFULLY strung around the middle of the ball, ensured this.The ball is too fragile, the pump is WAY too fragile, and I wish I'd spent the extra $10 for a better-quality product.
