Intex 48" River Rat Tube with Rope Age 9+

We did the float your fanny on a river and I didn't wanna buy big expensive tubes for all if us. These were like 6 bucks and they held up great! You cannot beat that price! There aren't any handles though, just a rope wrapped around

We bought two for our kids ages 11, 12, 15 and 19. Quick site to store shipping. Easy to fill and excellent durability!

Love these tubes. Durable and reliable.

great price, great value ,great shipping

I'm a big size guy 80 years old. Can't swim and it's just the right size for me to enjoy floating around our pool. Great tube.

The swim tube has two chambers for air. My daughter, nickname "river rat" for her inclination to go swimming and hanging out at our nearby river, requested the inflatable swim tube for our round Intex 14' above ground pool. If anything, I wish I'd purchased more swim tubes for multiple people to use.

This is a great product and sold at a good price. The tube is sturdy and holds air to stay full through multiples kids playing with it. We have had these for over 1 year. The product is durable and can take a beating. It is easy to fill the air in the tube. The color and design is fun and not childish. I would recommend this product to families and friends. We have purchased a second tube to be used since the first one met our needs and impressed by the durability. . The tubes can hold an adult and not just children. In fact it can hold multiple children at once on the tube due to its durability and strength. The seams of the product appear very well put together and can hold the air in the tube for months and months without having to fill the tube up again with air. You can easily fill with an air compressor or by mouth. The black color of the tube does not get really hot while the tube is in the sun for a long time. The tube has been jumped on, walked on and beat on during pool games.

Tough to blow up but I believe that is the norm nowadays to prevent it from deflating when the cap comes undone. Recommend using a air pump to blow up otherwise you will be all worn out before you begin tubing. Dual chamber -- probably an additional safety feature to prevent you from sinking if it get punctured. Would have been nice to have handle grips instead of the rope around the edges. But for the price, it is a good value.

This tube was lots of fun at the beach and was used by kids and adults. There was plenty of room to fit comfortably. There were two issues: a defective insert “peg” which wouldn't snap in properly in the valve to completely seal when in use and then when you need to deflate for storage it was difficult to find the proper spot to squeeze in order to keep the valve open and keep the deflation process going continuously, so it took a very long time to completely the task. I own several items from Intex and never had any problems so this must have been a fluke. I would still recommend this item for the overall value and quality.

Bought this and several other model tubes for recent trip on shallow river. This tube made it down without any leaks, tears or rips. Has the traditional valves with the reverse flap (i.e. won't deflate if popped open) and pushes into itself after inflation. This means it won't leak or pop off in the middle of your trip (unlike the horrible Sevylor float ring), however, these valves are somewhat of a pain to inflate and deflate (not to be discounted when anxious to get on the water, or tired afterwards). For $10 though, I do not expect a Boston valve, so this tube was fine.
