I bought this inflatable bed for the holidays, to allow my little boy of 2 1/2 years to pass smoothly from his bed to the bar at the "big bed". well it's mission accomplished with this inflatable bed !! He soon adopted the first night, and I have never been afraid he "falls" suddenly! The inflator comes with is very powerful, the bed (the turn and the mattress) swell quickly, and the "velvet" side is very nice! He used it for three weeks and still slept very well in it. My son loved "jump" in as, and even more kids in the bed held the shock :) when we got home we had to remove the bar to bed and reinflate the bed in order to have an extra sleeping time we buy a "real" double bed! more as it is easy to inflate / deflate, certainly I will take him everywhere with us as a small bed (with friends, family, etc ... I recommend 100%
