Extra Large Shark Pool Float

Bought one last year for my 8 and 6 yr old... it held up well until the beginning of this year. It ended up having a small rip in one of the seams. Impossible to patch with the provided patches (I've tried 3 times) so I bought another one because my kids loved it so much. After a month. another rip. Trying to patch again, we'll see how it goes. My kids do use it well but aren't irresponsibly rough with it, but they do use it like kids would.
