Do you keep it inflated at all times? Is so, isn't it a pain to store? If not, isn't it a pain to blow up every time you do a bath?

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.

If you have a cat then no. I kept ours inflated and the cat popped it pretty quickly. I don't remember if it was easy or not to blow up, but I probably had hubby do it anyways

Yes to keeping it inflated. It has a nice suction cup in which you can hang it on the shower wall when not in use

mine came pumped basically perfect. But I suggest getting a pump in case. I've seen it deflated in stores.

If you plan on taking it down and putting it away during the week then it is a pain the arse. If you deinflate it, my advice is to cover it with a tarp. We left ours in place all summer using it every few days. Regrettably I didn't cover it. This is an awesome slide for family fun. My kids, under 120 pounds played on it for hours/days. Not so good when the big boys and me tried to use it, although it did hold up.

It came inflated and as I remember they said not to add air for one year. I would recommend checking with the Spalding company on your question. It was a gift and as a grandmother I know very little about basketballs. Sorry.

I bought this for my grandson, and we all agree it is one of our best baby purchases. The bottom of the tub is a little like an air mattress that you use in a swimming pool. There is a little inflatable piece intended to be a small wedge to keep the baby from sliding while sitting,but you don't have to inflate. We never do, so it just lays flat. I don't see any reason you could not lay your baby flat. We absolutely love this tub. It is protective, comfortable, and we have used it since my grandson was 7 mos. old (he is 11 mos now).

When we are not using it we turn it down to 86 then turn it up hours before use. It can go as low as you want 50's and if it is outside it can go as low as the temperature that it is exposed to if heater is not on. But you run risk of it freezing and thus popping the tub since it is inflatable. Like I said we keep it at 86 when not in use and even in very cold temps outside it is able to maintain the 86

I prefer my bed firm, so I leave it on all the time. It can be inflated to the comfort you desire, and the pump left off, but you will have to periodically turn it back on to inflate back to your comfort level.

No, you have to blow it up yourself. It is slow to deflate, but they are very comfortable in the pool.

Its a pretty big tub when set up and takes only a few minutes to blow up if you have a good pump. You can collaps it and put it away in a small closet. Dont forget to think about draining it though, if you are indoors like me, you will want to install a hose aswell for that.

Yes. If plugs are properly closed, the pool stays inflated. This summer will be my second summer using this pool and never has it deflated on us. We typically have around 2-4 kids playing inside at once.

You don't have to keep the hose going. It will stay inflated. It really is a terrific pool at a great price.

I tied ours off tight to prevent air leakage. I assumed it was for deflating the whole thing when you roll it up for storage.

I just blew it up myself. It only took me a couple of minutes to blow up the whole thing. And the good news is: I never had to blow it up again! It held it's shape really well for months. I just scooped the water out and hung it up on the shower wall to dry using the attached suction cup.

Yes, ours does that too. My boys are pretty rough with it though. It stays deflated while they are playing with it, so for us it's not too big of a deal to have to re-inflate each time we need to use it which is about every other day.

It is inflated but you always wont to put air in it for your preference of firmness. Have fun throwing the pigskin!!!!

No I don't so. However it will balloon out if kept unvented. I always leave my tank vented so it doesn't balloon. I hope that this answers your questions. If you have anymore please feel free to contact me again.

Mine deflates at least 50% between uses. It's annoying, but it's so fast to reinflate that I don't care. If you're using it a lot it will be inconvenient.
