Customer Reviews
Quick and easy setup
I bought this spring float because is compact, yet I wouldn't need super lungs or an inflator to set it up. It is as quick and easy to set up as I expected. Just let it pop up, blow a little air (it doesn't take much) and I'm done.
My kids like to sit in the mesh as if this is a boat. Because of that, the mesh quickly started coming apart at the bottom seam. It's easy to sew up. Just beware that the mesh is not meant to bear the full weight of < 50 lb. children.
I like the papasan, but sitting up in it requires I actually sit up. Any attempt to lean back renders me flat on my back, although that position can be quite comfortable. It's like floating in an inner tube, but I'm more submerged in the water.
I'm 130 lbs., 5'5". This chair fits me well. My brother is 5'10". I don't know how much he weighs, but he has a muscular build. He was a little too tall or big to lay in it comfortably and for some reason, he kept tilting to one side when he when he was in it. His girlfriend and I did not have that problem, so we chalked it up to his size.
PROS:
+ compact
+ comes with a carry bag
+ quick and easy set-up
+ folds up quickly
+ comfortable to lay in
CONS:
- larger people may not fit comfortably
- mesh tears at the seams when children play in it
- no back support -- leaning back will put you completely on your back
Comforable and portable float
My husband and I use these floats just about every day during pool season and love them. Closing them up after use is easy, once you get the knack of it. My husband seems to have a little more trouble with this part so I that's usually my job. (It's a little twist of your wrists.) They involve very little effort to inflate. I thought my mother would love these but she found she was floating at an uncomfortable angle backwards, (as another reviewer mentioned), and she went back to her favorite Noodle chair. For me, these are much more comfortable then Noodle chairs.
great for smaller people
This is a great float for shorter people below 150 pounds. The heavier and taller you are the more trouble you'll have to stay afloat and keep from capsizing.
