- • Dimensions: Standardised sizing of approximately 60cm to 70cm in diameter (varies slightly by animal type), engineered to fit the waist of young children comfortably.
- • Inflation Valve: Equipped with a safety air valve that features a reinforced seal to prevent accidental deflation while the child is in the pool.
- • Weight Capacity: Specifically calibrated for a maximum weight limit of 18kg to 23kg, depending on the specific animal variant provided.
Ideal Use
- • Introductory Swimming Aid: An Ideal tool for South African families visiting pools or beaches, helping toddlers transition from being held to moving independently in shallow water.
- • Holiday Travel: The lightweight, foldable nature of the uninflated vinyl makes it a space-saving essential for coastal holidays or local weekend getaways.

- • Supervised Water Training: Perfect for use in home swimming pools, allowing parents to facilitate water familiarisation exercises in a controlled, buoyant environment.
Safety Precautions
- • Strict Supervision Required: This is not a life-saving device; never leave a child unattended while the device is in use, even in shallow water.
- • Age Suitability: Generally recommended for children aged 3 to 6 years; verify that the child•s weight does not exceed the manufacturer's stated maximum.
- • Inflation Guidelines: Do not over-inflate or use high-pressure air compressors to fill the tube, as this can weaken the seams or cause the vinyl to burst.
- • Puncture Prevention: Keep the inflatable away from sharp rocks, pool heaters, or rough concrete edges to maintain the integrity of the air chamber.
Frequently Asked Questions
- • Can I choose the specific animal design? No, these are assorted items; the specific print (Duck, Flamingo, or Penguin) is selected at random based on current stock availability.
- • Does it come with a repair patch? Most Intex inflatable products include a small repair patch in the packaging for fixing minor punctures or leaks.
- • Is it suitable for the ocean? While it can be used in the sea, it should only be used in calm, shallow water near the shore and under constant adult supervision.
- • How do I store it? After use, rinse with fresh water, deflate completely, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct South African sunlight to prevent vinyl degradation.
