What pump can you use to inflate tires? I own this and every pump I've tried does not fit since the wheel circumfrence is so small.

I have used a compressor and the air pump at our gas station, both worked fine.

It is quite difficult to inflate these tires - I have a small air compressor that has a low profile nozzle on it that just barely fits, and even then it takes some luck to get it off and on. We had a tire go flat (punctured) and had to buy a new tire from Bumbleride. I would rather have wanted to fix the tire or patch it, but then figured that spending the 25 bucks on a new tire was better than spending hours of frustration in trying to fix something that probably wasn't meant to be fixed.

Hi LBC! We recommend a small hand pump like this one, Topeak Peakini II Mini Pump or a foot/bicycle pump. Air compressors and gas stations can over inflate the tire pretty quickly but can be used in an emergency. We recommend a 25-30 psi which allows for some give when squeezed. It is very important you don't use the stroller if you have flat or low inflated tires as a pinch flat can occur. The trick to inflating the tire is to slightly hold the stem of the inner tube away from the rim while you connect the nozzle of the pump. Thank you for your question! Hi LBC!

I fill mine up at the gas station air pump. It's a little tricky getting it on right at first but it does fit and it works great!

Hi...I actually use my parent's. I called and they said it is a Black and Decker Air Station. Hope that helps!

You can use a special adapter which can be fitted to any air pump called Topeak Pressure-Rite Anti-Air Loss Connector. I did have to tinker with it by not screwing it completely otherwise it would let air go through for whatever reason.

I tried to inflate it with an air compressor i usually use for tires & it worked a little but the hose was not the same size as the inflation valve so I could not get a good seal going on & ended up finishing blowing the thing up the old fashioned way (with my own hot air) while making a mental note to purchase an air pump made for air mattresses. I. Have 2 of these air mattresses & they have held up very well through several camping trips & sleepovers with kids jumping on them.

This is not a compressor. It will not produce enough pressure to inflate tires. Short answer... No.

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

Can I use the pump I use for my inflatable bed? Are all the pumps essentially the same size? Thanks!

I use my compressor to fill my bicycle and car tire w/o problems. Make sure you set the pressure with the dedicated gauge/knob to the desired/limit pressure of what you are inflating. This compressor is a great buy for the money.

You can buy the pump in amazon or in Walmart or Target. i would recommen you buy the ones that have the two diferent sizes of tire valves(gas station and the small one)

So I was in exactly the same situation, how to inflate ! I used a pump like you use for swimming tubes for kids, bikes etc, it worked perfectly. I bought at Target. Hope this helps.

From what I've done with this pump, I feel that the only way to use this pump with other sized valves would be to use an external converter that could probably be purchased here or at any bike store or department store. It's possible though that there are different "versions" of this product that may come with other attachments, it's just that mine did not. Hope this helps!

I answered this question a while ago here and my answer should be located within the write up reviews; That said, I shall answer it again. This is not the correct kind of pump you would or could use on bicycle, car, motorcycle tires with. It is only good for inflating and deflating what would be air mattresses, pool accessories, and such. The adapters are not made to fit anything other than air mattresses, etc. I hope this helps. For the car, motorcycle, bike tires you will need a compressor air pump. You can either go to an old-style gas station, go to your favorite car tire center, or purchase any multitude of compressor air pumps listed on Amazon.com, or other site.

I just inflate it with an air compressor. If you have a bike tire pump this would also work but may take a little longer

After three inner-tubes.....finally checked here, had the same issue, and called for 2 free tubes. Apparently, you should only inflate the tube to 20 psi despite the tire stating 36 psi. Wish I would have known. That would have saved three rides we thought we were going on. I suggest the manufacture contact customers about this flaw rather than wait for someone to get hurt.

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.

Wow...I don't know. You could try a bike pump, but I thought the pump came with it....I have like four of these and four pumps as well. Where do you live? I can send you one of mine. I don't need four.

I have a bike pump and was able to fit the funnel-shaped nozzle into the hose of the bike pump. I think you can buy a little pump online, but I didn't bother since I already had a bike pump. I imagine an air mattress pump might do just as well. BTW I've had the ball for a year now, sit on it every day eight hours a day at work, and have never had to blow it up. Pretty amazing!

That has not been a problem with me. When I unscrew the inflation hose from the tire valve stem a small amount of air comes out, but on a car tire it makes no difference in pressure. Maybe there is something wrong with your pump that you should speak to the manufacturer about.
