Is it easy to deflate, could I take it with us when we travel?

Yes. You just pull the plug out. Easy to do if you use some needle nose pliers.

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!

Pack pretty small. Obviously not as small as plastic ones. Mouth would take a bit. Be easier to bring a small pump or get one at store. Hotel may even do it for you.

It can be deflated and easily put into a suitcase. It is probably about as long as a suitcase so can be laid in on the top. If it is folded back into the original packaging, it is only about an inch thick, and prob 15-17" across. Hope this helps.

I use a rechargeable air pump with a switch to deflate . It only takes 2 minutes.

It took maybe 10 min to deflate. I just unplugged the stoppers and pressed/sat on it. Daughter helped. It folds up pretty nice, about the size of a medium suitcase. Maybe 3x2ft. I takes time to fill up, so if it's going to be a toy you use everyday, leave it out.

Well stated by previous reviewer! Yes, it's very easy to fill up. The trick is to restrain yourself from blowing too much air into it...in this case less is preferred. Also, if you take it with you to the movies, for example, please make a point of remembering it when you leave.

very easy to deflate. We pull it out for kids sleepovers and it fits easily back into the bag

Yes - it has travelled with us often. Deflated it easily fits in a carry on and I believe it weighs under 5 lbs. We also pack a small pump in the carry on.

yes i would say it's great to travel with. i've traveled with this stroller on 4 flights. it's easy to fold up and also stands after fold. it's great that there is a strap you can put on your shoulders if you need to pick up the stroller and go quickly your hands are free to hold the baby and other things.

No, we had to inflate it. Its not that hard and doesn't take long, our issue was with it deflating overnight.

Probably not...at least not for us. We were going to take it on a trip to FL, but decided not to because it wouldn't fit in any of our large suitcases and we would have had to check it separately.

It is not the best seat to travel with. The shape makes it bulky and difficult to pack. I recommend getting the "Pottette" instead - it is compact and folds easy for travel, and also doubles as a stand-alone potty for emergencies.

It deflates quickly. I think it took less than 5 minutes to deflate. I let it lay for a while before I folded it up and put it back in its bag.

Yes as long as it's not a carry-on sized suitcase. It deflates flat and fold to about 18-20 inches wide and has a nice little carry case.

It will take up about 20% of an average carry on, the only worry I would have it is pretty hard to deflate and you probably need a pump to fill it up too,

Thanks for the tip. I am especially interested in using the unit while I'm traveling, and as such don't have the large cleaner or canned air (it's harder and harder to travel with gear these days unless you check your bags - which I don't do unless absolutely necessary).Does anyone have experience using the unit while traveling?

Probably. The problem is that it will start to deflate in about five. I returned mine.
