can you deflate it to save room in traveling car ?

Oh yes, super easily. You just pull the little plug. In fact, I inflated it by mouth very easily, it's so small.

I haven't deflated it, but I can't see why not. Just let the air out, and when you want to use it again, just inflate it again. Just know that it really is "toddler" size. Even our little 3 1/2 year old is outgrowing it. It's lighter weight than the regular Hoppity Hop balls we're accustomed to using, so be careful. Otherwise, it's cute and great for the Toddlers. They love it and it's fun. Great introduction to the Hoppity Hop that is bigger.

Umm honestly I never tried to deflate it but I know that it does come with the things needed to inflate it so I am sure if you saved those things you could deflate and inflate it

Maybe. There's plenty of ventilation, so air should circulate and if the car was cool, she'd get that benefit. My biggest concern would be that it wouldn't suit her for a long trip. She'd have to lay down and it might be a little small for an extended time. Plus, it might be hard to get her in and out of it. It's only about two feet high and two feet wide.

I haven't tried that but I would imagine that since the top is a zipper, any liquid could leak out. It should definitely fit upright in your trunk, though.

I'm not sure, I use it for travel but in car, I haven't try trough air! Sorry

Haven't had to but don't see why you couldn't since it will inflate a car tire

Yes it can be, when I'm not using it I deflate it and keep it in the box it came in or put in bike bag, easy

You can inflate with the mouth or with a machine. Its not so big! Great for summer or travels! :)

I assume you are using for storage, not travel. This depends on how much air you take out and somewhat how you press on the bag as it is deflated. I deflate the most with blankets, quilts and pillows. I used the small ones for hoodies, and fluffier clothes in the drawer. I did not use for finer clothing. I think certain clothes folded will come out wrinkled. I use them when I travel and manually push out the air, if I gently fold, lay in stack, then slide in bag, roll out air, the clothes come out looking fine. I always select clothes based on wrinkle potential at purchase. I just dont iron unless absolutely necessary. I assume you are using for storage, not travel.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!

Yes if it is deflated and you add the mattress pad and crib sheet. I learned about this from a friend who was traveling from NYC to London. We drag ours all over the town to different relatives. Sometimes we even deflate it! :>)

Not difficult to deflate , if you have a pump / deflator. Depends on how much of the air you pull out or remove , as to deflated size
1947586
Probably. The problem is that it will start to deflate in about five. I returned mine.

It definitely deflates some with each use, but it takes two seconds to blow it back up because the air hole is so big. I think that's the beauty of it. It's intended for travel so you can quickly blow it up and then deflate and roll it up small into a bag.

I keep one of these in each of my cars. I use it to top off the air in the tires, as well as for emergencies. It takes about ten minutes to completely inflate a tire on my wife's economy car and way longer on my SUV. It gets very hot when running for prolonged periods of time, so I only do so occasionally. If you need to do something like that on a regular basis, get a real compressor and not something that runs off the cigarette lighter in your car.

Yes. I put mine in my car whenever I travel. It IS heavy filled up , but two people can easily move it. Just make sure you hold on to all four corners when you move it, to keep the foam inside in place.

Yes, it can both inflate and deflate an air mattress, but note that it is not battery-operated so you must have a power source.

yes. there is no other way to get air into the mattress. I don't think you have to have it plugged in to keep it inflated. You might be able to inflate it using your car plug. just a thought. I haven't try it.
