Outdoor Bouncers – Jump Into Summer In An Inflatable Bounce House

Outdoor bouncers are a great toy for the kids when the weather is fine and they are more interested in playing outdoors rather than with their Xbox or Wii. And if the fine weather doesn’t tempt them then inflating the bouncer will certainly get their attention.

These inflatable toys can generally be inflated in a few minutes with an air blower. They suddenly rise from the ground and blossom into a jumping bounce house a bit like a seed poking through the ground and blossoming into a flower on some time lapse TV nature documentary. And kids love this part just as much as they love the exertion of jumping in the bouncer and running around the garden in excitement.

In fact it’s quite funny to watch them as the bouncer springs to life. They are sort of shuffling from one foot to another anxious to get some bouncing action happening. And once they start jumping they can’t stop. Over a good Summer, you can expect them to want to have their inflatable bounce house up often so that they can play with their siblings or friends.

So what types of outdoor bouncers are available.

I think there are a few varieties of outdoor bouncer. There are the large ones that are more suited to large gatherings like birthday parties or family BBQ s. These are generally rented castle bounce houses that will safely allow 10 or so kids to bounce. People tend to rent these units because it takes the hassle out of putting them up but you can actually buy commercial style bouncers and in reality they are not that hard to put up. Commercial style bounce houses can be quite expensive but if you plan to hire a bounce house often, it may be more economic to buy one.

The other style of outdoor bouncer is the smaller type that is made for home or residential use. This type is generally cheaper and is quite affordable and certainly better value than hiring a jumping castle.

Again, there is a fair amount of variety in these bouncers. The little tikes bounce houses are made for younger kids and toddlers. It is quite a small unit that would fit 2-3 toddlers in it at one time.

Other bouncers like the Quantum leap moonwalk from Blast Zone is bigger and would suit older kids (and even adults). Some of these inflatable can hold a combined weight of 500lb so provided they are not too cramped, you may be able to get 5 kids bouncing around.

These residential outdoor bouncers can also be themed or have other features that allow the kids to do more things. So you might find a bouncer with a slide or a ball pit. In fact many have a slide like entrance but others will have proper slides that you have to climb up to and get a thrilling ride down. Ball pits are always fun for younger children that like the sensation of the balls on or around their body.

Others might have a water section so that it can be used as a bounce house, slide and paddle pool. It has all based covered in fact for outdoor play.

Themed bouncers might include things like the Sesame Street Activity bouncer. This has the jumping area, a ball bit and even a basket ball loop to shoot some hoops. This bouncer has the look of Sesame street, including the iconic street sign/lamp post. It also has a number of the characters printed on the material including Big Bird and Elmo.
