Nah! It's just a matter of TECHNIQUE

Has anyone actually tried one of these? Tempting size.... Mine's smaller than yours!

They certainly are small but what's with the kiddie balloons you need to inflate it? If you want to compete in mountain marathon's it's size is a virtue but your never that limited for space. Comfort and ease of use have to be far more important, unless you like making balloon dogs and giraffes

Anyone say dogs and giraffes???

I bought one of those kiddies inflatables last year for France, cost about £3, easy to blow up, deflate and carry on the bike, they come in different sizes, wise not to get the little size if you are big, I got the medium, suited me (5'2"); done me for two weeks, and I'll use it again this year.
