I bought 2 of these for my son and they came inflated a little but how much are they supposed to blow up? there was no paperwork?

I don't recall paperwork with mine either. A pump was included and I add air periodically. Don't think I would want it blown up so it's really firm. Were you able to contact the company and ask them?

They should not be fully inflated to allow for weight for standing or sitting- probably about 3/4 full.

Should hold body weight without body making contact with supporting surface. Should sink some at contact point(s) allowing "wave action" when body weight shifts.

They are supposed to allow movement through the hips and spine (therefore allowing him to wiggle) so they shouldn't be fully inflated. Hope that helps.

Since the question I have received sounds like the first part of the question is missing. I will respond this way. You will need to have a pump to inflate and maintain the inflation of your ball. The one you shared as being the one you used looks more than fine for the task.

The balloon arrives deflated in its original packaging. I purchased and took to party to have it filled. In my case, I was already having a big order of balloons filled and they did it for me for free. It should be around 3-5 dollars to get filled up... Unless you have the tank and its DIY, then that's even better. I found the balloon to be priced cheaper on amazon than party city also. Enjoy! It's fabulous and it was a hit with the kids. Everyone wanted to take Minnie home!

It's outfitted with two small air holes such as you find on regular inflatable toys. Make sure your air pump has a nozzle that will fit in and you're good to go. I recommend using a manual air pump, otherwise it will take awhile to blow up, and if you use an air compressor you could over inflate it. FYI: Takes a bit of time to deflate too, as all the air has to come out of those tiny holes, but it was super fun to play around on.

I know...I feel for you...There are like a million places to inflate on this thing. It has been a while since I did it, and I wish I could remember where exactly they are. I do remember the more you blow up, the more appear to be blown up. So keep inflating, and they will appear!!! I do know the little ones really loved it. Wish I could be of more use to you!!! Good Luck!!! : )

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

Product never inflated and had to throw it out. My recommendation would be to toss it too.

It comes inflated but occasionally needs extra air, I am in Boulder at altitude so most of the time I have to check the air pressure in the ball and add or deflate a bit. Sam Iannetta

They are deflated and packaged tightly when they arrive. I forget the exact dimensions, but they looked really small the way they were packaged. Yet, they did inflate to 12. I used a mattress pump to quickly inflate them.

Hi Alison, The ball should have come with a plastic straw. Insert this into the ball and inflate by blowing by mouth. The ball doesn't have to be inflated beyond what you can do by mouth. Just be careful when you put the white plastic plug in the inflation hole to seal it. This is where you can loose some of your pressure. This may take a few tries until you get the technique. Be ready to cover the hole with your finger after taking the straw out. Take the straw out of the ball while you're still blowing into the ball. Good luck!!

No it didn't. We utilized a commercial grade air compressor, at our family business, for inflating it. Sure is cute and fun. We gave it as a shower gift - highlight of the party! Our little ones did have a bounce or two. Enjoy!!!

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.

They do not come inflated... But you can use a regular pump n needle... Hope this helps

I am in the same boat. Mine came a bit inflated but not enough to use. Trying to inflate with pump (not provided) I don't feel much progress is happening.

The item was not blown up. So it fit in a box that was approx. 18"x 36". It was probably 6-8" tall. Hope this helps. It does need to be inflated before usage.

We brought these to a resort in Jamaica and the entertainment staff inflated them for us. One of the guys used a pump and the other inflated it by blowing it up it with his mouth.

Mine have remained completely inflated since June. Perhaps there's a slow leak and maybe you can put a patch (like on a tire) on it. Other than that, I'd complain to the manufacturer. That's not supposed to happen.
