Bicycle pump

I want to buy a bicycle pump for my little boy's (aged 4) bike. There are loads on Ebay - can someone recommend any which is easy to use and will last for soemtime. Thank you.

    You can buy thin diameter pumps new for less than £2 at proper bike shops.
    I prefer the thin pumps over expensive mountain bike pumps.

    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.

    Home Bargains have them in 70p for the traditional kind or 99p for a small compact type.
  • My Poundland pump, looks like a plunger for explosives, fell apart after very, very little use. Usually Poundland give a refund if you have a receipt, which I don't have, so I tried to reassemble it but it just gets hot if you use the plunger and won't pump air out. No matter which way I tried to reassemble it, no joy. Not a recommended buy.
