Need help remembering - an 80's toy

MomToMany wrote: Anyone remember this toy?? It was like a ball, with a platform in the middle, and you squeezed the ball together & hopped around.

I've been trying to remember what it's called! I had an orange ball with a green platform one when I was little, LOL.

Can anyone help??

Kaitlin'smom replied: no clue

coasterqueen replied: Wasn't it something through Nickalodeon? I remember my BIL having one when he was little, but I don't know what it was called.

mckayleesmom replied: Is it a Pogo Ball?

Maddie&EthansMom replied: That's it! A pogo ball! We had one, too.

Mom2Boyz replied: I had one too!! I remember one year after my mom and dad split up, my dad gave me $20 for my birthday, and that's what I bought I think mine was pink and blue.

mckayleesmom replied: Woo Hoo...I was right.....Pogo Ball also has a Pogo Stick if I remember right.

Insanemomof3 replied: Tristan has one of those, well not a real pogo ball, but it is a ball, with a handle to hang on to and it has a 'suit' that is a kangaroo. He LOVES it. He jumps all around the house on that thing. BUT I hate it. It has a button on the handle that you push to make a BOING sound, it is loud and annoying. lol

AshleyRose replied: I think I know what your talking about... the ball with the handle that you blow up and sit on and hop around, right? We called that a "hippity hop" and I am not sure if that was a made up name for it in my family or what... LOL

Maddie&EthansMom replied: No Ashley...this one actually has a hard plastic platform thru the center of the ball that you stand on. When you bounce up you squeeze the ball with your feet and balance that way. I know this doesn't make sense, but it isn't something you sit on. You actually stand on it and bounce.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I loved my pogo ball, I could even go up the stairs...If my parents ever saw me they would have killed me

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I loved my pogo ball too. Mine was orange and green. And if my parents had seen half the stuff I did (like jumping off the picnic table) I would never have graduated 6th grade.

AshleyRose replied:
LOL i just realized that when Brianne posted the pic of it in another thread. Sorry guys but I did love that hippity-hop very much .

MomToMany replied: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yeah, I did some crazy stuff on mine too. It's a wonder we survived our childhood!

I know what you're talking about we had one too. I have no idea what it was called I can't even remember what we called it. But I LOVED it! I'd forgotten all about it until now but it was so much fun!
