Which one should you buy?

Our pick for most Australian families is the ZimiTeda Space Rocket pop-up pit: 120cm across when it opens, a built-in basketball hoop and 4.5 stars from 249 ratings at the lowest price on this list. The HB.YE Animal Design pit folds down small and wipes clean in seconds for well under fifty dollars, and the INTEX Classic 3-Ring inflatable at $39 is the only one of the trio that ships with balls included, which makes it the simplest first ball pit for a baby. If you want plusher walls, the foam IAGBIBUI round pit further down the page has memory-foam sides, a zip-off washable cover and the highest rating in this guide at 4.6 stars across 283 ratings.
