inner tube size question

My daughter's bike has a flat,and I need to find a new inner tube for it. The tire size is 20x2.35. The closest I can find around here is a universal tube that is 20x1-2.25 or some such number,but the biggest it goes is 2.25. I can order the right size online,but don't really want to wait several days for it to get here. Is there enough of a difference between the 2.25 and the 2.35 that I couldn't use a 2.25 and be ok?

what you could do is take the tube to a bike shop or where ever they sell tubes and see if they have one close enough I know the feeling about bike tubes our son had a Tonka bike and the tubes for that are alittle bit fatter than the ones i see in the store what Mike did was bought a tube online that you don't need are it is all solid now we have to get one for the back tire for when Princess Heather gets alittle bigger cause Sammy Joe out grew his bike and our neighbor gave him a bigger bike instead of throwing it in the trash, but take the tube with you to make sure you get one like it or at least close enough hope this helps you out.

glad to hear that you got the tire fixed for her, I will ask Mike where it is where he bought Sammy Joe's solid tube for his bike and I will let you know this way you don't have to replace it again lol, I bet she was very happy with you for getting it fixed to.
