Little Tikes Jump 'n Slide Bouncer with Arched Canopy Overhead Cover, Plus Heavy Duty Blower, Stakes, Repair Patches, and Storage Bag |3-Kid Capacity, Ages 3-8 Years

I got this jumper for a party we were having. I paid just under two hundred. It would have cost one seventy-five to rent a professional size jumper for a few hours so I thought this would be a great permanent alternative. I read the reviews about defective items and was willing to take a chance, because i know three families that own little tykes bounce houses and love them. It arrived in the time it was supposed to, and we did not open it until the day of the event. When you open the box there is a big warning on the box that says you CANNOT return the item once the box is open, but you cannot see the notice until you open the box. ( very sneaky ) there is info on how to contact little tykes if you have a problem. It went together perfectly and we staked it down as per the instructions. Plugged in and turned on, it inflated quickly and the kids did not hesitate to jump in. It remained on for over 5 hours of the party. It had almost constant use that whole time. It's perfect for 3 or less kids at time, but 4 can use it no problem the age range at the party was 1-8 years old and everyone enjoyed it and no one was injured. We have used it no less than 10 more times since the party, one month ago. We inflated it inside the house as well. It is very sturdy, well made and continues to work well even with my 3 crazy monster children. When you unplug the fan, it resets at the plug, and you have to hit a button on the plug to turn it on as well as the on/off switch on the fan. If someone has issues with it not staying inflated and the walls not holding up, it is most likely because the vent on the side is not properly tied closed. Read the instruction and use caution ( don't let the kids touch or move the fan) and it should last a long time. FYI you need an additional 8 feet on the side the fan is on for proper set up inside a house, so make sure you have enough floor space to properly set it up before you buy it! Very happy with my purchase, I think it will last a long time.

We bought this as a birthday gift for my 1 and 3 year old. We live in a condo complex, so renting a bouncy house is not something they will allow us to do. We bought this because it seemed like something we could set up and tear down easily, while providing some fun for the little ones. So far it has been a huge hit. Kids as old as 8 have been bouncing away in it, having a great time. The eldest kids will say that it is not as bouncy as the big ones - and they're right. But the little ones don't notice. I wish they made a ball pit to go at the bottom of the slide, that would be so fun!The bouncy house blows up in about 3 minutes, once you have it set up and plugged in. It only takes about 3-5 minutes to set it up before that. As soon as the house is inflated, you hammer in the pegs to the ground (another 3-5 minutes), and you're good to go. We did find that if you do not use the stakes to stabilize it, it does move around when the kids are jumping. It is very easy to fold up, then roll up for storage when done using. That whole process takes about 10 minutes. The house and stakes fit into the carry bag that is included. It is not light to carry around but it is great to be able to take it to family's house if we're going for the day. The blower is included, but will not fit in the carry bag. It has its own handle though, and I've carried both pieces at the same time without too much difficulty.We set ours up on the side of our condo on a bed of mulch with a tarp laid down to protect the house from any punctures. It is approximately 9' x 12' when inflated. So far we have had no issues with this. The cord from the blower is quite long, and reaches to the plug just inside the door of our condo. The blower has to be placed almost perpendicular to the bouncy house, 5-6 feet away, on the right side to function correctly with the sleeve that delivers the air.Overall I would definitely recommend this product. If you have the space and want hours of entertainment for your little ones, do it. The price is right and they will love it!

To my fellow mothers… Buy this thing immediately! I am a mother of a 3 1/2-year-old, an 18-month-old, and an eight week old, and this jumper is a fabulous addition to our backyard. Obviously the newborn does not enjoy it yet, but my older two love it. I was hesitant to get this jumper at first because it was a large purchase, but it has been worth every penny. Every time we have a play date at our house, every single parent comments how awesome it is. We call it the "babysitter".Things to know about this jumper:1. It really is not for older children. I find that my kids are at the perfect age for it. The two of them can jump and have plenty of room to have fun. We could also fit quite a few of their small friends with them. I have nephews that are seven and I find that they are just getting to be too big for it. Or should I say, you can only really fit a few seven-year-olds as opposed to quite a few toddlers. I think I like it so much because my kids are so young and I see the potential for using it for many years. As long as it doesn't pop or the motor break, I feel like it could have a good 10+ year life in our backyard.2. I live in south Louisiana and I find that it is just too hot to use in the summer. I think the one with the roof on it would be great if you live in a really hot area. It's perfect most months here except for the few really hot summer months. I did attempt to put it in the shade this summer for the kids to use, but then all the debris from the tree (sticks, leaves, acorns, bird poop, etc.) ended up in the jumper and it wasn't worth having to clean it all out.3. Set up and take down is really quite easy. From taking it out of the bag to hooking up the motor and tying off the two air chambers, it takes me less than five minutes. Taking it down is more work because you have to wait until all the air is out of it before you can really roll it up tight to fit in the bag. I don't find it takes that long to deflate it totally. I normally turn the motor off, it deflates immediately, and then I fold it over and let my three-year-old stomp on it until most of the air is out.4. You have to be careful of moisture. If you get any moisture on the jumper and then store it in the bag, you might see some mold growing on it when you take it out again. It's not the bad mold, it's more like the musty dirt you start to see on things like life jackets after it's been used for quite a while. I've made the mistake of leaving it outside all day and going to pick it up after dark only to realize that the bottom has dew on it since the temperature changed. I then pull it to our patio and roll it up the next day once it's completely 100% dry.5. After it is all rolled up and in the bag, it is a bit heavy. However, it's not too heavy for the average mom. I'm 5'2 and 115 pounds, and I can handle it just fine. I like that it actually rolls up into a fairly small size given how big it is when in use. I would say it's the equivalent of a really, really big sleeping bag (the size, not the weight).If you plan to have any of your young child/children's birthday parties at your house, this thing is totally worth the investment. Renting a large fun jump for just one day is around $300. This is something that you can use over and over again. We've already used it for two birthday parties. If we would've rented fun jumps for each of those we could've bought three of these. Seems like a no-brainer.
