The diameter of the inflated tubing is 80-150see. It should be selected according to the person's height.

For older children and teenagers, take a universal diameter of 100 cm. For those who are taller than 175 cm, you need a larger diameter - from 115-120 cm. Small children should not ride on their own. In this case, you need to take a 120-125 cm tube so that the child can ride in it together with an adult.

How to choose the right tubing

Here are the main nuances:

  • Reliability.Before buying, carefully inspect the bottom, handles, seams, and chamber. All of this must be of high quality. The handles must be made of rope or plastic, frost-resistant. The bottom is made of polyvinyl chloride, which looks like a shiny film. The seams must be even and thick, reinforced with nylon. The chamber must be made of a highly elastic material, for example, multilayer glossy PVC.
  • Safety.The tube should not have sharp metal or wooden parts, it should be soft and comfortable. When sitting, the child should not touch the ground with his feet, and the bottom - the bottom of the tube. Remember that while riding, the tube is uncontrollable, so it can only be used on proven tracks without trees with a maximum slope of 20%. This type of recreational transport develops speeds of up to 100 km / h, so a collision with a tree can end terribly.
  • Convenience. This is an important criterion, because if the baby is uncomfortable, he will not enjoy the ride. As for the comfort of using tubing, it is better to buy a pump together with it, a ring for transporting cheesecake on the lift, an adhesive for repairing it, protective goggles for riding.

The weak points of the inflatable tubes are the handles and the bottom.The handles can come off on hills with jumps, and the bottom can wear out from poor coverage or from driving on asphalt. To avoid this, buy tubing from reliable manufacturers. Remember that you can only ride on tubing on proven tracks. Do not leave small children riding unattended, even if you are sure of the safety of the chosen tubing.
