Yeah, when the picture has them in a pool... I am just going to buy the kids some old truck tubes, those things are indestructible, what we used to snow tube with and cost the same. Just keep the valves stem down or you will (if I say it, I will get baconed).
I had one of these get punctured while carrying a cooler tubing down the river, that was not fun to carry for the rest of the trip. The cup holders on these are nice if you are in the tube and you can more easily navigate your own tube than one attached to you but I wouldn't use one again for a cooler. You can get a tire inner tube from pretty much any mechanic or tire retailer for about $10 and they are much more durable.
Is this really heavy enough to take tubing?
You had to go there eh?
Think I'd reserve it for pool or creek use, not a river.
