We had a manual pump that cracked so we've just been manually blowing them up. But we just got LO a huuuuuge inflatable pool. Way too much to blow up manually.
I didn't realize how $$$ electric ones are!

Depends on the size, sometimes by mouth or we use the pump that came with the airbed. It comes with an assortment of heads to fit the opening.

@Alivoo01: hm. Our aerobed only came with one and it's Def fitted for the bed. Worth a try though!

@locavore_mama: for that pool, a small electric pump. There is no way that thing is getting blown up by mouth.

I just bought an inflatable pool too and used an electric pump. Thankfully my mom has one for pool toys. the air compressor would have worked too, but I can't carry it!

We also have an airbed (knock off aero bed) that had an electric pump with several attachments. That's what I use. My DH tries to use his lungs.

We got an electric one for blowing up an air mattress. I need to find it. It's currently MIA after the move.

I'm wondering when DD might be old enough to think being "the official family beach floatie blower-upper" sounds fun. Till then, it's me & my mouth!

I just bought a manual foot pump to blow up her paddling pool, though it's only a small one.
