SpeedoSPEFT Unisex Child Star Wars Printed Noodle - Star Wars Black/Black, One Size

It's a bit smaller than I was expecting - our previous Peppa pig noodle was thicker and a bit longer. As previously posters mentioned, it's a bit hard to inflate it and you'd need a decent pair of lung.Having said that, it's ok for relaxing in the pool and it doesn't take up too much luggage space

We like a good aquatic toy in my family to take to the swimming baths and the 'Speedo Kids Printed Noodle, Star Wars Black' is one. It is not quite like the sponge noodles you may be used to that bend and often have bite marks as this is more of a fancy long balloon. Once blown up it is a sturdy device that can aid in swimming, but is more for fun. We used it as a way of relaxing as we paddled around the lazy river.The Star Wars theme is very Empire with references to X-Wings and Death Stars. The black and white imagery is striking and you can tell it is Star Wars, people will get noodle envy. The best element is the material used to make the noodle. It is a slick waterproof vinyl that dries in seconds. This makes the noodle really easy to keep hold of, but also quick to pack as you will not soak your bags. The one area of trouble comes with the nozzle to blow it up. It was hard going and you needed to pinch just the right place. Being so hard to blow up meant that at least it did not lose any air when we used it for several hours. I suggest that if you are having difficulty blowing it up that you switch your pinch to open the airway.

I love this inflatable ‘Star Wars’ themed woggle/noodle. It is eye-catching and fun with a monochrome Star Wars design.Useful as a buoyancy aid, children (advisory age is 2-6 years) must still be supervised at all times. This does not have the bend or the flexibility of more traditional woggles/noodles so can not be used around a child’s body to support their weight when in the water. However, it adds variety and interest to any swim lesson and is great for streamlining and flutter kick on back and front. It is portable and can be deflated - so most useful for travelling to sunnier climes, packed in travel bags. Finally, this will not go mouldy or water-logged like traditional aids as this is plastic and wipe clean.My only criticism is that I had huge difficulties in inflating this initially and almost gave up. Nevertheless, a brilliant Disney-themed buoyancy aid brought to the market by Speedo.

Speedo Kids Printed Noodle, Star Wars BlackIn theory, this is a super little item to take on holiday or to chuck in the bag on the way to the pool or beach; it packs small and can be blown up on arrival. The Star Wars print is striking. However, try as I might, I could not blow the thing up. The instructions say to squeeze the valve then blow into it, but i just couldn't get any air to go in. I am reasonably fit and don't smoke, so getting a blow-up noodle started should not be beyond me. Because I haven't been able to blow up the noodle, I can't give it any stars.For sale at the time of writing this review at £8.14 (RRP £10).

This item is perfect for taking on holiday or to places where you don't want to take a foam noodle:- reasonably easy to inflate (as long as you know when to pinch the valve you'll be fine)- it is plastic so easy to clean- Star Wars theme which is fine; in my mind the biggest advantage is that you can spot it quickly if there are other noodles around!Overall I like this product - the length is great for children, once inflated it's very similar to a foam noodle and it folds down quite nicely.

I really struggled to blow this up and I was on the point of giving up when I finally managed to open the valve and get some air in; it seems the technique is to blow into the valve and then pinch the valve until you hear it open, it does need quite a firm pinch. On the plus side it isn't going to accidentally deflate. The noodle is black with Star Wars motifs in white, age is given as 2 to 6 years. My grandson isn't in to Star Wars, however he thought the noodle was great fun particularly for splashing with. The big advantage is also that it deflates for storage and transport, this was a lot easier than the inflation process. Great fun.

This is sadly a big fat disappointment of a Star Wars item. A rarity but yet there you have it.The quality is just not here. I couldn't manage to inflate it although I tried various times with both the pinch the valve method and without.Perhaps it's just I'll suited to me but I'd definitely recommend you try to inflate this at home before taking it to the pool or beach with you as if you struggle with it you'll be left with a bouancy aid (and quite possibly have a small child clinging round your neck and back playing at being a baby turtle 🐢)

This was very tricky to inflate. I spent ages pressing the base and needed help from second person as ran out of steam and impetus to find it!Turns out it is very fussy about where pressed and it's hard to inflate easily even then as you need to ensure you continue pressure at exact point whilst doing so.I like the fact it's an inflatable rather than a foam float as means you can pack this for holidays abroad easily.Anyway the area to be pressed is the centre point of the bulbous bit of the nozzle, at midway height, and needs to be firm.
