is there any amount of floatation in the padding?

By itself, maybe, strapped to you with mag pouches and other accessories, not so much.

not really. padding is for comfort, which will come in handy with weight of equipment. the thin and lite weight padding will not float once it absorbs water though. definitely an equipment/utility belt not a floatation device.

Yes, the entire float is as seen in the photo. I love mine! The only problem is that after sitting on it for a time, you will need to put a bit more air in to keep it firm. But it's comfortable and I love the open foot area for splashing my toes in the water. And! It's inexpensive.

My grandmother had these for as long as I can remember and hers did seem to float on their side. Mine hasn't done it. So idk if it's the older ones or what. But mine is doing just fine floating around our pool.

Very close but not completely. After using this for a while, I found the cushion does not have enough padding for me. I will most likely buy a new cushion that's more padded. Slightly disappointed with this on the whole.

No padding. I gate checked it twice and it came through in perfect condition. I did however pop the wheels and car seat connectors off as a precaution and put them in my carry on.

There is almost no padding, however we took it to Disney and my kids used it all day and never complained about being uncomfortable. It is roomy, because my 3 year old can switch positions.

I'm pretty confident it is. There's nothing in the padding or weights that would limit it. I would suggest you air it out afterwards of course :)

Pretty much. Only had a minor spill so far,and it like woped away and did not seep through to the other side. Super comfortable.

No it's not, I added extra padding however the extra padding I have sits underneath the baby lounge. I wouldn't want to put my child at risk for suffocation putting blankets on the inside.

To a small extent. It's not padded or anything but does help cushion it a bit.

Hi Nancy, hilarious that amazon asked me to answer! I ordered this and it never arrived, never heard from company, and Amazon paid my claim and fully refunded my money on it. No idea if it is padded as it never arrived! Best of luck with your purchase. Brian

Recently bought one and the paddles now have some black foam wrapped around the handle just below where the two pieces join. I haven't actually tested it but I would think that it floats fine now. As an added bonus it's a nice soft grip on the paddle too.

There is assembly required so it shouldn't be a problem. However it is a nice material and very neutral. If you are going to go to the trouble of new fabric, I'd plann a little more padding too.

Not that I remember. I ordered a strap that floats in the water in case I dropped it.

not that I have noticed but its possible. I have earned a great tan with just a few weekends at the river on this. I have noticed with other floats that I get a strange tan line where its white down my side but with this one that does not happen.....it is more even :) I do love my float is has lasted for a few seasons now and goes to the river often. The holes are perfect cup holders or beer holders.

Yes I think so. I personally haven't gone in the water to test it out, but the hat maker claims that it floats and I can feel a foam pad in the crown about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

I have purchased a couple of these. They are as seen with the float installed. Hope this helps.
