We got rid of our 12' foam floating pad over the winter because rolling it and tying it up while we tubed at higher speeds around the lake was a big hassle. Thought that an inflatable would do the trick because we could stow it away when we weren't using it. We looked at a lot of high priced inflatables that might suit our family's new toddler ( 1-1/2y old) and found this one with a mesh floor at a slightly more reasonable price.

Has anyone used this one before?

It seats six. Approximate Inflated Dimensions: 128" x 114" x 26"

Following. In a similar situation with our 2 yr old. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.
 
I had and used one similar to it for a season or two. Got it from Costco for about $100. Little more than a pool float quality wise. It did the job ok but was thin and punctured easily especially when it was inflated on the ground instead of in the water. We found the boarding pad was to tall for most people to to climb from more than waist deep water. The canopy was great unless it was windy in which case, It was hard to set up, take down and struggled to maintain its shape.

I’m glad we had it when we did/when we needed it and I didn’t even try to return it for a refund or store credit. I got my moneys worth out of it but wouldn’t buy another one.
 
Had one very similar. Agree with Ronnie. Very thin lasted one year before it went flat
