Is the ball inflated or does it require a pump? I am looking for a ball that is inflated.

Yes, the ball was inflated when it arrived. I made my purchase 8 months ago, and it's still inflated. Perfect for my 3.5-year-old nieces's little hands. Perfect "bounce" - when she kicks it, the ball travels, but not the inordinate distance one would get from the really bouncy thin balls. I highly recommend this product; very pleased the quality and durability.

I haven't had any problems with ours going flat. They have gotten a little flat with the weather changes being outside in the garage like all balls do in the winter but not anything unusual.

No, it does not require a pump, it comes inflated but it won't likely stay inflated long! I bought 2 and both went flat in less than a week and there is no way to re-inflate them.

Jan 10, 2014: Ours arrived today, TOTALLY UNINFLATED and fully wrapped in plastic that was the size of the uninflated ball. Nowhere in the description does it say it won't be inflated.Unacceptable.

The ball does come inflated, but it will probably need some extra air to top it off, as i'm sure they have a warehouse full of em. Overtime, these balls will lose air due to the porous nature of the materials. Hope this answer your question.

I haven't inflated mine yet but it looks like it is a standard pump attachment for balls that comes with pumps. Here is the link for one on Amazon made just for balls. Here is one from Amazon for less than $5 with free shipping. "Gymnic & Rody Hand Pump for Rody and Hopping Balls". Hope this helps. :)

It comes inflated... you can put more air into it to provide more bounce but it was fine for my needs. Its just a little larger than a volleyball, but smaller than a basketball. Inflating it does not make it expand it just creates more pressure within, to create more bounce.

It does not come inflated, it takes a needle similar to how you inflate a basketball or football.

I would say a bicycle or other air pump is necessary to inflate this - DO NOT try to blow it up yourself, it won't be sufficiently inflated.

These do not come inflated. A standard pump and ball inflating needle are fine to inflate them.

It inflates like a beach ball but. Definately not something you would want to blow up yourself though. I used a battery operated pump that I use for air mattresses.

The balls come deflated. There is a pump included in the package so that you can inflate the ball.

You have to blow it up which I did without a pump. It's easy to blow up and the ball is soft.

The ball is deflated inside of the box. There is a hand pump inside the box that you must use to inflate the ball

It didn't come with a pump, but I was able to blow it up by using my mouth. It's a very small, soft, rubbery ball, and didn't take much air to fill up. It was much easier to blow up than a balloon is.

Yes, but like any football, basketball, or soccer ball you need a pump to get it and keep it at the correct psi.

Yes you pump this ball up with your breath but it takes very little effort. The ball comes with a small tube that you breath air into.

FWIW, the pump seems to be made of what used to call construction paper. It is a miracle of design and makes crinkling noises when you step on it. You know that the ball is close to the right pressure because the hose pops loose from the pump. ;)

Sorry, I have seen such balls but have no clue what they require for inflation? The pump works great for our air mattress!

No...it does not come inflated. You'll need one of those tire/air pump things to inflate it.
