Questions & Answers
Make use of common sense. Pump until the balloon is fully inflated and appears to be in good condition. However, as you begin to overfill it, it begins to form creases, becomes extremely hard, and is clearly overfilled with air- You're looking for some solace, aren't you? Fill it to the brim, but not to the point of overflowing! Pro tip: When it goes off the rails You've filled the container to capacity. If you're concerned. I do not advise you to use an air compressor.
I think it'd be fine for cruising around in, but not for towing a boat. There are no drain holes for water to escape, and the bottom half is made of hard plastic.
It makes use of a 10-inch tube. 00 X 20". It all depends on how much air you put in it.
I don't remember how big the box was because we got it last season. However, because the tube has a hard bottom and cannot be folded, the box ended up being quite large (though shallow). The box will be approximately 42" x 42" x 7" deep, according to my calculations.

Last year, I went through at least five of the $20 Target snow tubes. They all have holes in them, and I don't think any of them lasted more than a day. br>br>I recently purchased this for my children. The size of the box it arrives in astounds me. This is a colossal sled. It's two inches longer than the extra-long version. The other heavy-duty snow tube is a large LL Bean snow tube. I was considering purchasing a duty sled. br>br>I was surprised to learn that this sled comes with two tubes. A padded seat is created by inserting a second mini tube into the first. Wow, that's incredible. The fact that the valve stems are short and covered in rubber for safety is appealing to me. Using a bike pump, I was able to fill the tubes in about 15 minutes. You could also simply go to a gas station and get some air. br>br>This is a very well-written piece. made the sled, but it wasn't perfect; it didn't come with instructions, and the assembly was simple. I wasn't sure whether I should put the black tube in the fabric shell with the value facing up or down, for example. I inserted the tube with the value pointing up so that it would be easy to reach. However, now that I've seen the entire sled put together, I believe it would be better pointing down and out of the way. br>br>On the smaller tube, the valve stem insert was also loose. I used the tip of a small screwdriver to tighten it. A valve stem tool (or the tip of a knife or needle nose pliers, if you have them) can be purchased at bike shops and will fix this in 5 seconds. However, on a high-end sled like this, it's inconvenient. - br>br>Prosbr>- br>br>- br>- br>- br>- br Exceptionally long lastingbr> - - Includes an inflatable seat cushion (two tubes are included)br> - Big

I really liked how it felt and looked after I inflated it. I noticed it was losing air after a couple of days. I topped it off with air, and the same thing happened again a day or two later. I sent an email to the company, but received no reply. I called them after three days, but their phone number was disconnected, so I sprayed the tube and valve with soapy water to find the source of the air leak. I discovered a small leak in the Schrader valve. I dashed to the nearest auto store and bought a $5 bill. The stem was tightened with a 00 Schrader valve tool. There were no more leaks after the valve was secured, and the tube appears to be in good condition, though we have yet to use it. These tubes are very good at seeing. It's well-made and looks great, but it shouldn't come with a broken valve stem. It was a simple fix, and I would have only deducted one star if it hadn't been for the fact that I couldn't contact the company. To put it another way, we punctured the tube while using it, and I can't get in touch with the company to get a replacement tube. I expected much better customer service for the price, but the product itself is excellent. It's useless to be able to get in touch with customer service.
We bought two as Christmas presents for our kids, but when they were inflated, we noticed that they didn't look anything like the pictures. The larger outside tubes appear to be too small even when fully filled, as they have in other recent reviews. The canvas shell cannot be held taut as shown in the pictures because the larger inner tube has a lower profile than the shell expects. The inside inner tube also does not fit snugly, and as a result, it bumps around inside due to the fact that there are two of them. When the two tubes are centered, there should be 3 inches of space between them on all sides. The cases appear to be well-made, but everything I see suggests that these aren't the outer inner tubes intended for use with this case. Based on the reviews, it appears that this is a recent trend, and perhaps the manufacturer ran out of the proper tubes and began slipping these substitutes into orders? br>br>Even though the tubes aren't exactly what we expected, they still work well. Despite the fact that the smaller (inside) inner tube does not fit perfectly, it still provides excellent cushioning for the bottom bumps.
Like other reviewers, I had the following problem: The inner tube was the wrong size; it was too small to fill out the material and hold it taut, and the center hole was too large for the smaller tube to fit in it properly. The small tube is sloppy and useless as it falls to the bottom. Since some other reviewers had mentioned that the company does not respond to concerns or emails, I planned to look for my own tube that is the correct size. Before I went looking for my own replacement tube, I emailed the company and received a prompt response from Amy Morton. She collaborated with me, confirmed the tube's incorrectness with photos, and promptly sent me a replacement. The tube is on its way as I type this. I'll let you know if this tube fixes the problem, but I can attest to the company's prompt response and assistance throughout the process. This tube has a lot of potential. Built for the rigors of sledding, this sled is sturdy, heavy, and built to last. I like how the inner tube never touches the ground and has a hard bottom.
Do not make a purchase. I wish I had the opportunity to return them to you. China is the source of this product. I should've gone through the entire book. In the past, flexible flyers were manufactured in the United States. I wished I could send them back and replace them with ones made in the United States.
I read a lot of the other reviews and hoped I wouldn't have the same problems as them, but unfortunately I did. br>br>I was ecstatic to receive this as a holiday gift for a friend. We inflated the tube after opening it in anticipation of going sledding the next day, only to discover that it already had a SIZEABLE puncture (see photos). I had a patch kit that allowed us to continue using the gift, and boy, is it a fantastic snow tube! I immediately contacted the seller via the Amazon app, but have yet to receive a response after more than a week. The high cost of this product, combined with the fact that I received a punctured tube, has left me with a sour taste in my mouth; I'm hoping to hear from the seller about receiving a replacement inner tube.
Cry once. This tube is quite costly. You'll have it for at least a year. Because it's just a tire tube in a shell, if the tube inside the shell gets a hole, it's easy to patch. It's simple to replace the inner tube if it becomes worn out. If you value quality, get this tube for your children (or yourself) and enjoy it.
