INTEX 3D Bop Bag Blow Up Inflatable Tiger

I read tons of reviews on this before purchasing and decided that it was worth the $ to try it for my daughters 5th birthday party. I ordered two just Incase one was defective.I had read to fill the water first then inflate. It was difficult getting enough water into the compartment at the bottom though without some air in it. So I inflated the entire thing and then tried to add water. That made it difficult as well since now the air chamber pressed against the water chamber and I couldn’t get enough water in it this way either. I released about 1/3 Of the air, added water, sealed the water compartment and then filled the rest of the air. Now that I had a system, the second one was much easier and faster to fill.Both of them worked perfectly and withstood 30 kids for 3-4 hours of fun at the party. It’s been 2 months and these still get bopped around and ninja kicked by my 2 and 5 year old and neither has sprung a leak or deflated at all. I’m actually blown away by their endurance this long!I will say, if you blow it up, add water, it stands, you knock it over and it does not bounce back, you haven’t added enough water in the bottom of it. It was a mild frustration to find my system for properly filling both chambers of these things. When they are filled properly, they work perfectly.If you fill the air chamber too much it pushes against the water chamber and you’ll never be able to get enough water in there.

Nice product

This toy has not popped & I knew it was not pre-weighted by reading the description but I did not expect the issues I had filling it. Directions read to completely fill the base with water (water!?!) before blowing up the toy. I filled the base, I attempted to shut the extremely tight fitting valve & the completely full base was no longer completely full because it obviously pours out everywhere when you put pressure on it. Well duh! It's liquid. Poor idea to use water. Since it was no longer full the water sloshes where it wants & when my 3 yr.old hits it... it stays down. No recovery. It is currently emptied & drying out in my basement. I am going to try to fill the base with sand like the ones we had when I was young. Hopefully that will solve the problem! Not sure how easy that will be though :( At which time I might up its rating.

When I ordered this bop bag, it said to leave a note saying which animal you wanted. I didn't easily find how to leave a note so I decided we would take whatever was sent because all 3 animals looked cute. We received a penguin. Since this was a gift for a 3 year old, I like that all the bop bag animals have happy faces and cute animated features instead of harsher possibly frightening features like some of the super hero villian bob bags. So, I had read other reviews and knew to fill the bottom with sand BEFORE filling the bag with air. We used a funnel and it took about 10 minutes to get the sand in it, then used the air compressor and cautiously filled it with air...but not to the max. It was a Christmas gift and our rowdy typical little boy has punched it, hit it with his plastic sword, ridden it like a horse, wrestled with it, and it is still going...so that's been 4 weeks and we have not had to refill or top-off air...it's been great. It is priced well and we feel one of our best toy purchases.

I was so excited to give this to my daughter for Christmas. I remember playing with these as a kid and thought that she would have a blast. First of all these don't have the sand in the bottom like higher quality ones from back in the day. Instead there is a water reservoir in the bottom that you fill separately (Difficulty figuring that part is a whole other discussion... Messy to say the least). Anyway, after filling both sections up, the thing sprung a leak within an hour! Water reservoir floods into the air pocket causing the toy not to stay upright. Eventually (1 week later) it sprung another leak and no longer holds air. Piece of trash! Not worth the stamp to ship it back. I guess I learned my lesson "You get what you pay for".

This is my second purchase of this inflatable. My first experience was much the same as this recent buy, it does what it's advertised to do. It falls over and bounces back up. It does not take hard or heavy abuse and true to form, after a week, it developed a leak and went to the trash. All of my kids and their friends loved it and had great fun. It lasted a little less time than I expected but I'm not very disappointed as I witnessed the type of use it received. This is a cheap fun item for a young child. Despite it's flaws I would purchase again. Great birthday gift for a young kid. I love the cute designs.

We've had no issues with "Boppy." My sons an active, wild, 2.5 year old. I explained he can bop, hit, smack - but not sit on this toy. For the first time he had started to hit at his friends and us, his mom & dad. So we got this blow up for him to hit. It's helped and we've had it a couple of months now with no issue. We did use a mixture of rice & water and have had no issue with it spilling into any other part of the inflatable like some of the reviews said. (Rice alone wasn't heavy enough)If my crazy 2 year old (who isn't great at listening) can use this without breaking it - yours can to! It's a great way to redirect your toddlers aggression. I would recommend to anyone with toddlers from about the ages of 18 months - 4 years old.

These boppers performed just as I hoped, even though we used them on sloping ground. They popped right back up during pumpkin bowling saving us the trouble. Inexpensive, functional, and adorable.
