I bought two bubble bums in November 2012 and the air in one of them won't stay in. I can hear it escaping but I can't feel the air come out anywhere

Try putting it in the bath tube under water and see if there is bubbles coming out

Hello Jeanne, I had the same issue. Apparently there was a bad batch shipped out. Please contact fintankelly@bubblebum.us and let her know the issue. They have EXCELLENT customer service and will resolve the issue. In my case they replaced both my seats immediately at no cost to me! Once you get the replacements, you will love this product! Kelly did tell me that the seat was tested deflated also and meets safety standards without air provided you use the belt hooks on both sides of the seat to keep the belt snug across your child.

The only place I have heard air escaping is the part where you put the air in. I just blow the air in and twist the little cap until it is quiet. I have had very good results. I have not had a problem.

This is a defect in the manufacturing process and is a major safety concern. Do not put the Bubble Bum in the bath to see where the bubbles are coming out. This will void your warranty and won't help you at all because it doesn't matter where the bubbles are coming out since you can't fix it yourself anyway and you already know it's losing air, you don't need to prove it to yourself by seeing bubbles. The product must be returned to the company immediately to be replaced.

We purchased ours back in July of 2012. While it does seem like it is losing air doesn't seem to be enough to sacrifice the safety/height of the seat. Occasionally I will fill it up every once in a while. Overall we have been very happy with it's convenience, portability and small size allowing more people to fit in the back seat.

Hey, we had a similar problem with an air mattress. We have a pool and inflated it just a little bit and put it under the water and waited for the bubbles to find the hole. You can patch it with a bike tire patch kit. If you don't have a pool, you could just fill up that section in the kayak and try it in the tub.

The best way is to look for bubbles, inflate it as much as you can and then with a pool or river, or even the hose, look for air coming out. Hope this helps. Kendall in Maui

Hello there! This issue has been fixed. This purchase is for the Chauvet B-250 Bubble Machine with 2 gallons with Bubble Fluid.

Ours doesn't bulge. It loses air but I just plug it in and pump it up everyday

sorry I missed this, I never got a question from Amazon before, bubbles on bottom, and make sure its dry and covered on the off season, mine died after 3 years

Did you accidently touch the adhesive? Sometimes that ruins that part on most screen protectors. I had one bubble when I installed mine but I pressed down and pushed the bubble to the edge of the screen until it came out. But your saying it isn't flattening out so your piece may be defective because mine was fine and didn't have to flatten out.

Mine works fine, never had either of them fall out. Maybe you can get a replacement or refund..........hopefully.

I had to pour a little bit of water in with the bubbles to get it to work. You also have to be careful not to overfill it. I used regular bubble bath and just poured in a little water until it started to work better. I hope that helps some or fixes it for you.

I had one of these things a couple of years ago & it started leaking within a few weeks. It also didn't stay cool.Inconsistent quality is apparently the problem. Contact the company & see what happens. I returned mine to Bed Bath Beyond & told them the problem. Apparently I wasn't the only one to return them.

As long as the black bubble is sticking out of the water, the current from the filter will pull little air bubbles in. Both of mine work great!

Mine stopped blowing bubbles after a few weeks and I tried different bubbles and still didn't work so input new batteries in even though they weren't that used and it has worked perfect for like a month now. I know, makes no sense

I have never had any air bubbles and I've been using this product for about 6 months. Maybe it was a defective bottle?

First make sure the black plastic valve is open. If it is and it still isn't inflating blow into the valve like you're blowing up a ballon. When new they sometimes need help getting started.

Same thing happened to my mattress after a few months. The bubble gets larger with time and when the bed is made, it looks like someone is still in it! This Simply sleeper mattress is unsatisfactory.

I had the same problem until I read the instructions again. You have to soak the bubble wall section in water for 15 minutes or so before turning on the air pump for the bubbles. This lets the material swell up enough for air to escape.

Not sure of their policy but consider yourself lucky if only one won't hold air. All 6 of ours either lost air or popped within the first 1-2 weeks. I would not recommend these to anyone except for decoration. Lol. Good luck! I'd ask for money back and find a new brand.
