ours has a metal part sticking out that you can blow air in but nothing that keeps the air in -- is it missing a part or is there a trick?

sorry I cannot answer that but the one I got was made of foam and that one is FANTASTIC!!! it does not deflate and we have had it for quite a long time hope someone else can help you with that question

It is made of foam like the foam pillows so there can't be any metal that I'm aware of. The white ring you see in this photo is foam and then is covered by material so it hides the foam cushion and creates a washable type of covering for it so that you don't stick to the foam.

Something might be wrong with yours. We did the same with ours and it worked just fine. But to be clear, not much of it gets air in it. The outside and inner rings are the only parts with air, and it's not much. I hope this helps. Test it by itself before you put your baby in it. Good luck!

Not sure but maybe you need an additional air cleaner? Mine is fairly new and I am thrilled with it, and am considering getting another one for the other end of my place.

Same thing happened to mine . . . took it apart and let it air out -- no success! I think there's a flaw in the design because it should be waterproof or not able to get water in it all . . . this thing is terrible!

You need to bite the valve very low when you blow into it. It was very difficult the first time we inflated it but after that it does get easier.

I'd love to be able to help u but I haven't used it yet. I would guess it maybe vacuum holding it on. Not to b funny but have u looked in the owners manual? It may have some helpful hints.

Try sucking the air our before you close it that way it's a tight fit and if that dosent work try adding some foam around it.

I don't know if there is a way to get rid of air. I just ended up throwing one of mine out :-(

Make sure the air lock is set. inside the inlet were the hose hooks up to is a white knob you must turn to the lock position before inflating or the air will escape.

Yes, you have to pinch the valve at the base when blowing air in or trying to deflate. This was not something that was explained very well in the instructions and if you just try to blow into the valve it will seem as though they forgot a hole to let air in.

It's supposed to blow it up and out. The vent at the bottom pulls it in... It's just to dissipate the smoke or steam...

I've checked their website but didn't see one. I didn't call the company, though. Ours started losing air after just a few uses.

Yes. The air tube is really in there. Don't pull it straight out, but tilt it on an angle and it will pop out. Sometimes I need to put baby powder on the area around it as the plastic sticks together.

It does not because ..it does not blow air; or mine is faulty..does not work at all!!!!

The adaptor to attach it to the air hose. I already found one though. Even the snap on stuff that I spent a lot of money on didn't come with them so maybe it's common practice to not include them.

I think there is a rubber piece on the top. Pull that back and it might be in there. Haven't used mine in a while.

It is in the orange rubber piece. The orange rubber piece let's air out, but will not let air in. The plastic piece is there for shipping only.
