Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Inflate after you fill the bottom with 2lbs of rice. Blow up the top first then the bottom, helps if in that order. Has endured rough play in a pool, on a lawn, and in the house. My son weighs 36lbs and is 31.5 inches and it has been solid in all forms. Constructed VERY well for a soft "Pool chair" material that has not discolored on anything, has not leaked one seam, and has easy to use plug in the bottom to pour water or rice in. To get the "bounce back" effect, rice was perfect, DO NOT use water in the base. It is marvelous if you use rice. Here is why; It won't "pop up" or "bounce back" as intended consistently if water is used. Rice, no risk of leaks if in the house! Rice will dry it out after pool uses solid without mildew risk internally and prevents odor. Rice in the base performed just as well, if not better, in the pool. It's consistent buoyancy / a better center of gravity. Rice also is safe and a bit more durable to prevent skidding or drifting on rough play. After your done with the "Socker Bopper" thingy, you can use the rice in potting soil or something creative. UPDATE; 6/12/19 My son turning 4 now, and still going strong with this product. Son 44 inches now and 42lbs and tackles it, kicks, punches, and not one problem. Unreal good! RICE RICE RICE BABY!
