Best Inflatable Bouncers for Safe and Fun Entertainment

Pirates Bay Inflatable Play Park is designed to meet the strictest applicable safety standards. There are 14-inch protective side rails along the entire perimeter of the inflatable combo and a slider. The bouncer is not only fully enclosed with soft safety netting but also furnished with numerous anchors, safety handles and foot holes throughout the climbing surfaces. In addition, thanks to special water outlets, the water levels in the pool will never rise over 6 inches.

All parts of the waterpark are made of high-strength x-Weave material and commercial grade vinyl covering the slide and bouncer surfaces for ultimate durability. The whole unit is assembled with reliable double and quadruple heavy-duty stitching, which will help the combo stand the test of time and not come apart at the seams. So, you should not worry about the life, health, and safety of your little angels. They can crawl, jump, or slide as their hearts desire, but you will rest assured that not even the most active games and jumping could cause a blow-off of the bouncer. 

The only thing you need to observe is strict adherence to safety requirements (such as admissible weight and capacity). The inflatable bouncer is designed only for children, but there may not be more than 5 kids at a time with the weight not exceeding 100 pounds each. Note that children under 3 years of age cannot be left on the bouncer unattended.

It's simple! To start the game all you need to do is to turn on the air blower and wait for a couple of minutes until the bouncer gets inflated. Do not turn off the blower, it must be pumping the whole bouncer with air continuously when it is in use. As the blower keeps pumping the air in, some air escapes through the seams of the combo and the breathable material, ensuring optimal air pressure inside. It is all an inherent part of its operation, as the constant airflow makes the unit stronger and bouncier.

The only thing that remains is to set up the water supply. Simply connect the garden hose to a special sprayer assembly, included in the set. It will fill up the pool and make the slides more slippery. 

When the time comes, you will be able to stow away the whole unit in a blink of an eye. Just stop the blower’s motor and the unit will deflate almost instantaneously on its own. Roll it up and pack it in a storage bag and/or tighten with cinch straps.

The bouncer is made of the durable heavy-duty puncture-proof materials with double and quadruple stitches that conform to ASTM (American Society forTesting Materials) standards. The combo bounce house meets all toy safety requirements of ASTM F963 "Standard Consumer Safety Specification On Toy Safety" and does not contain any lead, phthalates, or other restricted or prohibited chemical compounds. Kids can bounce and play in this bounce house all their days away!

It is possible to install such a complex both outdoors in the yard or indoors (provided your house ceilings are high enough). If you wish the bounce house to stand the test of time, adhere to the manufacturer's safety instructions: no more than 4 children at a time with every child not heavier than 100 pounds.

When safety precautions are observed, jumping on a bouncer is one of the most useful entertainment activities, especially if the bouncer is installed in the open air.

For starters, any motion, in general, is exceptionally important for toddlers and jumping on a bouncer, in particular, can promote the optimal development of the vestibular system. When walking or jumping on an unstable bouncing area, kids are encouraged to keep their balance and posture at all times, which helps to strengthen their vestibular system. Secondly, activities in such bounce houses improve coordination of movements. The child learns to navigate in space, looking for the most convenient way to get on the slide, deciding how to get to the bouncing area through a crawling tunnel or a regular entrance, etc. Thirdly, it develops dexterity, as getting over the climbing and obstacle walls require quite dexterous movements.

Thanks to the presence of the plastic balls, your kids will further improve their fine and gross motor skills; and a basketball hoop will help to boost their accuracy and precision. Besides, physical activities and active games in the yard will help your honey pies maintain a balanced weight, make them healthier and happier, improve their sleep and provide a lot more positive effects on the overall well-being of your little angels. And as a sizable benefit for you, after such fun time in the open air, your little troublemakers will have no more steam left to make a mess out of your house!

If your children like to engage in physical activities outdoors, be sure to get them one of the tricycles. They will love safely riding it and getting ready for a real two-wheeled bike.

To make sure your kids’ play in the bouncer will bring only joy and not sorrow, you must strictly observe safety requirements and pay attention to the following rules:

1. You cannot jump on the bouncer wearing shoes, glasses, or carrying on you sharp and dangerous objects (scissors, blades, pins, etc.)
2. You cannot perform dangerous acrobatic stunts on the bouncer, and you cannot slide down with your head downward.
3. It is forbidden to lean on a netting, as it is generally made of a soft material and can be broken.
4. The bouncer should be securely fixed to the ground to prevent it from flying away in the wind with your toddlers.
5. The bounce house and especially the blower must not get wet in the rain.
   

Bounce House for outdoor use is subject to increased wear, so it requires special maintenance. 

To keep the surface of the bounce house clean, it must be regularly wiped with a soft dry cloth, or with a cloth soaked in a neutral detergent that will not damage the material (or poison the kids). Any cleaning agent must be thoroughly washed off afterward.

The air blower must be reliably protected from any moisture. Do not attempt to disassemble and lubricate the blower, as it does not require any additional maintenance! The only thing you need to take care of is clearing its vent holes from dust, dirt, leaves, and debris. Keep the blower in a vertical position on a flat surface, and its cord loosely folded. Before you turn on the blower and start using the bounce house, thoroughly check both items for any visible damage. Do not use the bounce combo if you find any cuts or breaks!

In addition to jumping, playing soccer and basketball, kids can engage in other games and fun activities in the bouncing area both to exercise and rest. Consider some of the following ideas for younger toddlers as well as older and more dexterous children.

• The Balloon Game. All you need to do is to prepare a few dozens of small-sized balloons in advance and hide them in spacious garbage bags. You can blow them up yourself or pump them with helium with the help of a disposable helium tank. When the time is right, you can throw them all in the bouncing area and let the kids enjoy bouncing and playing with them as their hearts desire.  
• The Touch-Ball Game. At first, it is necessary to scatter balls of different sizes around the bouncing area. The task is to get from one end of the bouncer to another without touching the balls that will respond to your every step and slightest movement.
• Tumble Race. If you have a few kids and medium-sized bouncer, you can arrange them all to line up against the wall of the bouncer. As you shout “Ready! Steady! Go!”, the kids should drop down and start doing somersaults across the bouncer. When they reach the opposite side, they need to stand up, touch the wall, and then somersault back as quickly as possible. The first kid to return – wins!
• Rest & Picnic. When kids run out of steam they need to pause and recharge. After physical exercise, they will be thrilled to see some sandwiches with some juice and have a small picnic right on the bouncing area (most importantly, do not take any knives and forks!). Afterward, you can bring them papers with crayons and pencils to engage them in some creative work. 
  

If the weather does not allow you to set up the bouncer outdoors, do not worry! There are many ways to entertain your kids indoors as well. For instance, the wooden train set will appeal to kids of various ages and will immerse them in a long and fascinating adventure.

The good news is a special repair kit comes together with the bouncer, which includes the materials for repairing small damages, punctures, wears or tears. If you find cracks or breaks in stitching, under no circumstances can you inflate and use the bouncer! If the damage is rather small, you can fix it yourself. We recommend taking the following steps:

1. Deflate the bouncer and place the damaged area on a firm, flat surface.
2. Gently clean the area with a solvent and thoroughly dry it afterward.
3. Using a stiff brush, apply a thin layer of glue from the repair kit to the area around the cut, as well as on a patch of material that will be used for covering the cut. Do not get confused: the back matte side of the patch must be glued to the face side of the bouncer.
4. In a few seconds, attach the patch to the bouncer as tight as possible. Roll it over with an included roller and smooth it with your hands, so that there is no air left between the patch and the bouncer.
5. For perfect adhering of the patch, it is best to leave it under pressure for 24 hours. The bouncer is ready for use again!

If the damage is too serious or you doubt your patching abilities, ask a specialist for help.

An inflatable bouncer is fun for the warm season, but when the fall chilly days arrive it is time for it to be packed and stored away for the cold season. Here are some tips and tricks to keep your bounce house in excellent shape until the next season! 

For starters, the deflated bouncer must be thoroughly dried and cleaned before putting it into a storage bag. The damp material can not only cause the growth of mold and mildew but also easily start to rot and decay. You can apply some talc on the surface of your bouncer to allow it to completely absorb any remaining moisture and prevent the bouncer material from sticking together.

Temperature range cannot have a serious impact on the storage properties unless we talk about the extreme conditions. It is best to store your inflatable house in a room with a temperature range from 0 to +35 degrees Celsius. Extreme cold and sub-zero temperatures can make the bouncer hard to handle and likely to crack. So you would need to warm it thoroughly first before use. Extreme heat could create excess moisture; hence store the bouncer away from the heating appliances. Besides, make sure the relative humidity does not exceed 80%. Needless to say, keep the storage bag beyond the reach of rodents.

Even if you live in a warm climate, use the bouncer all year round and store it only occasionally, try to follow our recommendations to make sure your bouncer will serve you for a long time and will be able to stand the acid test of time. Otherwise, under adverse storage conditions, your inflatable bouncer may decay in no time.
