The price of ball pits

[Letsdorevenge]

I mean these new foam round ones that look lovely and would definitely fit more in with the decor than the primary coloured ones with paw patrol on the side. But have you seen the price of them?? £80 to £150!
I'm wanting to get one for a 1st bday present but I dont want a plasticky one because I've had those before and they looked horrible and ripped within days.
Aibu to spend that much money on something that really I have no idea If it will eveb be pakyed with much?

I had. I idea they were so expensive! There are cheaper ones on Amazon, kiddymoon etc. if you wanted to go down the pop up route Argos have them for a tenner, bonus if it's not too well used and also folds up for better storage

I really dislike the brightly coloured ones being in my living room as there's no other space for them. I guess the pop up ones would be an option as I can put them away when not being played with.
Are they actually very popular with toddlers? I don't want to spend money then have it just sat there..ill end up getting in it myself just to get my moneys worth out of it if so.
The kiddymoon ones are gorgeous but then I have a dog who will likely chew it.
