It鈥檚 bigger than I was expecting, but that鈥檚 a good thing, and all the kids love it. They have named it and play with it all the time in the pool. We have had it for a few weeks now and I鈥檝e had to occasionally blow it up a little, but it seems to be well made and holding its air. It has two sets of handles so kids can 鈥渞ide鈥 in it. We use it in a pool.
