How is the tube inflated?

We had an air pump at the hotel and they blew it up for us. The second time I let the kids blow it up they are 12 and 13. I think it's harder to deflate. lol. Good luck and enjoy

We did it by mouth. It's really big but honestly it didn't take too long to blow it up this way, maybe 5 minutes of breath so there is no need to buy something special if you don't have an air pump.

I just inflate it with an air compressor. If you have a bike tire pump this would also work but may take a little longer

There is a rigid tube holder that folds out from the body of the pump. Inside the tube holder is a flexible tube that can be pulled out. At the end of the flexible tube is a pressure gauge and the part that attaches to the inner tube stem. The flexible tube slides back up into the holder and the holder folds back up against the body of the pump.

It's simple, just press down on the lever. It clamps the tube. Just like a catheter bag.

At the end of the tube you blew in to inflate it--there is a valve you push in --this will allow the air to come out and therefore deflate the vest. Great vest!

The one I ordered was a gift for someone else, so I don't know. But the one I had "back in the day" stayed inflated all the time, as when we were not using it for a bathtub, we used it on the changing table. The baby remained calmer when cushioned by the bathtub when his diaper was being changed--it served as a pillowey container of sorts.

By pushing down on the black tube on the front which is also used to inflate the vest. You can inflate or deflate as neede

It is inflatable. You pump air into it. Do not over inflate it, just enough to make it firm. Remember that air pressure is temperature sensitive. On a cool day you might think there has been a loss of pressure due to a leak somewhere. Enjoy.

Actually, mine was already inflated enough for my daughter to sit on and have it wiggle. But you insert the pump with the metal tip and it should inflate.

It inflates rather quickly. Less than a minute if I had to ball park it. We used it for a production of Willy Wonka for Violet as the blueberry. It worked perfectly and inflated quickly. Hope this helps!

We used a goot pump to inflate. Didn't take too long, maybe half an hour. Each of the three tiers is inflated separately.

It does not come inflated, it takes a needle similar to how you inflate a basketball or football.

It's a large exercise ball and fills the space in the chair. The instructions actually tell you to pump it as full as you can, and then the ball will stretch and you can add more air. I added air for about the first week until it was what I consider fully inflated. It hasn't needed more since then. Hope this helps.

Ours came inflated to the correct pressure. You can pump it up with a standard inflating needle and pump.

There is a valve that you open, and the seat "self-inflates" (you can manually blow into it as well)... The beauty of the Thermarest products is this "self-inflation" value and technology. I am a pilot, and this is an AMAZING product... I open the valve--sit it on the windshield while I pre-flight the plane, then I adjust the volume of air and sit on it... When I am finished with the trip... I open the valve, squeeze out the air and roll it into my bag.

There are three air nozzles. One on each leg and the long cushion on top. I have had the one of the legs deflate and have pushed down that end of the long cushion but it is still inflated. So I guess ....no.

I would assume it's a push/pull kind of pump. You just pull to fill it with air and push to push it all into the tire.

You uncap the plastic nozzle and blow a few puffs of air into it. Doesn't take much. In fact the one in the photo would probably be overinflated for me.
