Is the floating island easy to get on and off of-especially for "older" individuals and those not in great "shape"?

I don't know of anyone that had any trouble getting on and off. We were only inn shallow water. We love it!

From land it should be fine but some people might have a hard time climbing on from the water
1996119
Yes and no. If your in too deep of water no. If your still in shallow water yes. However mine doesn't stay inflated well

I would say it is not easy. Not super difficult but not easy. if you can pull yourself out of a pool without a ladder or step then you can do it.

It was difficult for me to get on and off due to seat height and my limited range of motion, so it felt wobbly when getting on and off. Eventually used a step stool. However, once on the bike, it was very stable.

I'm assuming you have a partner with you to keep the boat stable as you climb back in. If you're in average shape, taking a swim from the boat and then climbing back in should be no problem. I've never done it, but then again, I'm 63 years old and the only time I swim any more is if I fall in!

I'm seventy, and I move it fine, but it is heavier than some others. I'd say it weighs about 7 lbs and is easy to move or carry as long as you do not have to drag it up and down stairs. You can pull it along easily by the Long handle if you do not want to pick it up and carry it. Unless you have a disability in you arms or hands, you should have no problem. I use it to climb into my truck and toss it around with no problem. You might need a guy to push the handle into the step part when you assemble it, if you aren't too strong, but I did it myself.

Not really. Sorry. You can use a stool, which helps but I wouldn't call it easy.

It's easy to figure out how far you can go and you can pace yourself accordingly. I have mine right next to a wall, every now and then I need to just lightly touch it to stabilize myself. I'm in my mid fifties and not in the best shape and do fine on it.

Yes quite easy. This one i bought for a 78 yo lady who rides my bus. The chair part and any part unfolds with ease, no struggling, no fighting with it just fold and go!

I bought 2 as a gift for large people. My mother is 160 lbs and my dad is 220. They both have no prob. You really need to pump it up to keep your bum out of the water but they are really really great for what they are.

It is pretty easy for an adult to move. If you hold it from the top/middle, you can walk it around to different locations.

I don't know but I'm a 60+ year old lady and I didn't have any trouble pulling it around or handling it on the plane. I find it's very lightweight when it's empty.

Very easy. The bar that comes out of the bottom has marks on it for you to change the height for each person. It has a pin to hold it in place. I've had mine for about a year or so, and I just adjust it so my butt fits on the lower part of the canvas and held by the bar under it. Never had any problems with sliding off or hurting myself either, and I'm very close to 60 yrs old. I can only stay on it for about 5 to 10 mins though, because of my spine issues, but it still helps.

No. This is absolutely not a good workout for older folks -- there is a lot of jumping around that's occuring, and it's very strenuous. The stress that this workout will place on your joints and bones is something that I would NEVER suggest an older person undertake. I'll go even further and state that you would probably risk permanent injury to yourself if you were to undertake this exercise at an advanced age.

I am 71 and have no trouble with it, however I am 5'8", so maybe someone shorter may have to use a step stool. The seat is very solid, and I have never worried about it tipping over getting in or out.

I'm 210 and have another 50+ lbs of gear and it floats no problem. Tower rates it up to 800lbs for the 14' Explorer. That's a big advantage of the inflatable.

It's very easy to move. No problem at all. A little background- I'm a 55+ woman - in good shape but not a body builder. I put it together myself and can lift it easily.

Yes, it is pretty easy. Just need a screwdriver. Note that this is just a decorative garden item. It's not made for adults to walk on.

Not hard at all. For an elderly person, maybe a little difficult, but otherwise fine. Love these chairs.
