Does this "pop" up like a normal in ground head or is it always up as it looks in the picture? Trying to see if it gets taller than the picture once pressurized.

No it is not a pop-up style like an in ground sprinkler, it is as you see it in the picture and sticks up about 6" above the ground when the spike is fully inserted into the ground. That said it is the identical head to Rainbirds 32SA in-ground sprinkler head and it functions the same minus the pop-up feature. I own both and they are great heads I'm very pleased with the performance of both and if you don't want to run underground pipe, this is the best head on the market in my opinion.

Not really. AS part of the folding/pop up mechanism, the canopy itself first opens, then the legs go up. But it is not usable (high enough) with the legs not up fully.

Yes, it raises up at different levels, so it's height can grow with the child. Can be filled with water, sand, or both. I used sand, it's heavier than water. You'll need some sort of funnel to fill with. My girls have been using it for three years now - no complaints what-so-ever.

i dont think it was supposed to be .. it wasnt flat. i could push in about an inch or so .. and i pumped it back up .. but it didnt hold.

yes, thats exactly what I got... remember. it will feel weird because its taller, but its a good thing, because they tend to over heat and the extra air will do wonders. it did for me. I love it. bought it twice. once in 2008 and another one this year.

The unit is about 5" when all the way up. Note it doesn't pop-up on its own. You have to pull it til it locks in the up position. So much for truth in advertizing!

Honestly, I really have no idea what that little part is for but I just let it float on top and have no problems. I don't have the packaging anymore either to see if there was any explanation. I was wondering the same thing myself. My daughter has one as well and she doesn't know either. :-) Gotta love that. It just makes me smile. Somethings are just unexplainable. Hum??? Ha! Good question.

I did not realize it was above ground. What you say makes sense, but on a dual valve you have to make sure that no one opens it up.

It's been a while but I believe it was a forked metal bottom that was a bit tough for me to get into the ground (my husband was nice enough to drive it into the ground for me). It's been there ever since; no problems. My only complaint is I can't find the extension kit anywhere so the pole is a bit shorter than I would have liked.

I have blasted mine pretty high and it doesn't move a centimeter. It's solid and heavy so not to worry !

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

We didn't have that problem. Check to see if you installed it correctly. Our lid is unhindered in raising and lowering.

the landing gear is raised by Design but I don't know why. I know the fix for it is to adjust your settings. the little screws next to the white things turn those up and down it changes the tilt of the bleedingive you a smoker left of me a few days a week na to get right

You can't push real hard or high, if you do the front legs come up. Also its hard to adjust the seat height and get it even. We used it for awhile and it was nice for rainy days when we couldn't get to the park. But my son out grew it pretty fast. If you have any other questions let me know.

It sits a few inches off the ground. Mine is ON the ground now because it broke the first time I used it and I weigh 162 pounds soaking wet, so yeah ...have fun.

mine doesn't adjust, it is set to the tallest. When I try to lower it, nothing moves? Does anyone know why? Thank you

It's fairly easy to take up and down. You just have to be careful moving it around once you have it up. It will pop out place
