There wasn’t a kid in this thing the entire time it was being filmed.
If there had been a kid in the basket, the kid’s weight would have caused the shape of the balloon to be spherical with the basket hanging well below.
They need to get the hounds out looking for this kid.

I had not considered it. It mosty likely would have been teardrop-shaped. If the material were strong enough to even support 30lbs.

The shape was likely created by the way this balloon was constructed. There are clearly several baffles inside it; probably multiple separate compartments.
I don’t see any reason that it could not maintain the “saucer” shape if it the compartments were well made.
