My daughter is on the short side and she sits in this just fine. At 20 months she loves to watch the balls come down. However, as I see her play in it and now read the reviews I'm not the only one that agrees the play area is too small and her being a small girl, could probably play with this for a while but when she gets bigger it wont be much fun. She tries to jump in them but hits the sides and the middle is in the way. I was going to buy the one that has an open pit with a doggy head they can crawl through and mistakenly bought this thinking it was cheaper. Tag was wrongly priced. If I hadnt spent the time blowing it up and adding extra balls I would have returned it.I recommend anyone that is looking to get one that is open more so they can roll, play and jump in them.
