Caring for Inflatable Equipment

First, teach everyone in the household to use the equipment responsibly. Most of these items are not to take extreme or harsh treatment. Don't let kids jump on them, poke with sharp objects, or otherwise mistreat inflatable furniture, toys, or sports items. If you see someone, even the dog, mishandling an inflatable piece of equipment, take the item away.

Second, keep your inflatables clean and in good working order. Do not leave them laying outside in the elements. Do not let them become twisted, distorted, or otherwise ill-used in even accidental ways. When in use, keep them in their proper environments--beach balls in the pool, toddler chairs in the playroom, etc.

Third, use them in ways for which they were. For example, an inflatable toddler chair cannot become a car seat, no matter how many seat belts or straps you apply. A beach ball will not last long as a dog's toy, so get your pet its own hard surface ball. Inflatable boats are for the water, not necessarily for snow and definitely not for mud.

Fourth, store your inflatables carefully and properly. After letting the air out, gently fold them to a smaller size and place them in the original package. If this won't work, get a suitable container in which they will fit. You may want to label the container with the contents so you can find the item easily when you next look for it.

Finally, keep a repair kit on hand and out of the reach of children or pets. Depending on the type of inflatable product you have, a patch may be available for temporary or permanent repair of tears, holes, or other damage. Read the kit's directions carefully and follow them correctly for best results.

Your inflatable items can last a long time, add a lot of fun, and help to your life. Treat them well and they will return the favor.
