This product never fully blows up and is probably suitable for 12-15 month olds. My 2 year old couldnt use this bounce house after trying to use it 2 times. I tried to return for a store credit and was told it was past the three month mark and couldnt be helped. Disappointed in Toys r us products and warranty policies.

I purchased this item on Black friday 2012. As another person who wrote a review mentioned, it was a new product with no reviews at that time and I took a chance on it as a Christmas surprise. I thought I was getting a great deal.. had wanted to buy the Little Tikes one that has a slide coming off the front, and decided to save money and get this one instead.
I think I saved $50-75 over the Little Tikes one. Dumb move. Should have just gotten the Little Tikes one. Sigh.
A coworker and friend of mine has the Little Tikes one for her girls, and I loved it so much I wanted one too. The Little tikes one easily supported 5 bouncy kids under age 5, AND a mommy too. It's material was very nice, and it was good quality. It also had a functioning slide with incline (you know, to actually slide down it) and this one's slide? step? is a waste of material.

This one... UGH. Where do I start.
The material is AWFUL. it's cheap, stiff, and doesn't inflate well. I say that because the little joke of a slide? step? on the front, never fully inflates. And the basketball hoops never fully inflate either. The material is so stiff that where it is wrinkled from being folded, it won't fully inflate.
It has no "give" either, and kids don't get much "bounce"/"sproing" when they jump. It's like they are jumping on thick mesh paper inflated with air. It's loud like you are jumping on paper too. (The little tikes one does not have this issue... it's material is MUCH nicer)

The "blower" seems to be okay. No complaints there .
The power cord IS awfully short though. You will absolutely need a good extension cord.

The weight limit. Parents CANNOT get in this even to pull one kid off of another.
I leaned in to rescue my 2 year old from 3 year old cousin and when I di it just went "pffffft" and the part that they jump on completely deflated. The Little Tikes one did not do this. My friend was able to get IN IT with her girls and bounce up and down gently on her knees with no issue.

This thing is a piece. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
If you are going to invest in a product like this, don't buy the unreturnable store brand.

I'm very frustrated to find I canot return it and exchange it for the Little tikes one.

Again, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

The people who have written glowing reviews of this product have never played on the Little Tikes one, or they would be angry too and how they got swindled.

I LOVE this product!! My children, ages three and five have played many many hours on this Bouncin' Hoops. Since it is so cold outside, I have loved that my two little ones are still able to exercise and have so much fun doing it. We are looking forward to jumping year round!!!! Great great product!

Used less than 5 times and air is coming threw the seams and it will not longer inflate to a usable degree. Was a great deal, but essentially a waste of money.

I saw this in the 2012 Black Friday circular at an unbeatable price. My kids (an almost 6 year old and a 3 year old) were super excited to receive it for Christmas.

Living in the midwest, we haven't used it outside yet, but we have set it up in our family room at least 4 times since Christmas. The kids absolutely love it. It takes about 2 minutes to set up and inflate. Even my 3 year old can get in and out of it by herself.

To respond to others' negative reviews:

Yes, if they bounce too hard along the walls, it will *seem* like the walls will collapse, or the house will fall over, but that has never actually happened. Again, we're using it inside and can't use the stakes (obviously) so it should be even more stable when used outside, staked into the ground.

I do not allow them to bring any toys inside, except for the inflatable basketball that came with the set. If they try to bring a toy in, I tell them it might "pop" the house like a balloon and then the house goes in the trash. They don't ask again.

My kids' combined weight is around 65 lbs. but I have not gotten in the house with them - if they ask, I tell them it's for kids only. Any other place we go with commercial bouncy houses don't let adults in there, so I tell them this bouncy house is no different.

If they start to play a little rough, I tell them to knock it off, because if they break the house, they will not get a replacement one.

Tear down is not too bad - it deflates pretty quickly but I usually lay on it to help it along. Then it rolls up and goes back in the bag that's included.

So, if you are willing to supervise your kids while they play, make sure they don't take sharp toys in the house, and don't play extremely rough, then this house is great fun.

This bounce house is cheaply made. It was a nice size for our basement, but imagine my 4 year old's (40lbs) disappointment Christmas morning when it popped after five minutes of jumping!!!! Invest in a better quality material!!

Bought this as a Christmas surprise for our 1 and 3 year-old. There were no reviews on the website at the time and no product dimensions, so I took a leap of faith. BAD IDEA! I was expecting this to be a generic version of the Little Tikes bouncer/slide combo, and boy was I wrong.

This bouncehouse is NOT made of traditional bouncer materials. Instead, it is made of the same material that is used to make blow-up outdoor holiday displays--flimsy and definitely thin. If your child manages to sneak a toy in with any hard edges, you'll definitely be in trouble!

Second of all, this bounce house has a maximum weight of 180 pounds, but only two children are allowed in at a time and the weight has to be distributed 90/90--meaning forget about climbing in with him, even if you're a parent on the small side. My son is a very active 3 year-old, and he always wants to play with others (including mommy, when no one else is around). I'm 115 pounds, and there is no way this bouncer would hold my weight. So when my son climbed in, he just kept begging me to join him and I couldn't.

Last of all, buyer BEWARE! When I purchased this bouncehouse, I made sure to check the return policy online given the fact that there were no reviews on the website. I saw that returns were accepted within 90 days, so I went ahead and bought the product. However, when you unroll it and blow it up, you'll see a large sign on the bottom stating that you CANNOT return this product to the store for a refund. So basically--you can't find out that refunds will not be granted for open products UNTIL YOU OPEN THE PRODUCT. Makes sense, right????

I did a lot of research before I purchased this product and was dead set on getting a reputable brand (despite my love of all cheap, generic things in every other aspect of my life), because my son plays hard and I wanted a product that the whole family could enjoy for years to come. In the end, I waited until the last minute, and in a rush to get a bounce house in time for Christmas, I decided to purchase this one. Never again! I'm going to try to exchange it for a Little Tikes or Blast Zone model, but the headaches and trips back and forth to the store are probably going to more than make up for the $50-odd something price difference.

BUYER BEWARE!

The size is including the slide, Material is of a thin nylon style fabric not the plastic one sees at jump houses or rentals. It doesnt hold air a good a i thought. The Internet discription said its good or 250 lbs, the box said 180 lbs and the manual says 280, so who knows, but when I (130) got in to it with my 30 lb child if i stand still it will lose air in that spot. the perimiter caves in very easyly. I rated it a 3 because for my son and I it works ok and he loves it. The picture on the box and online are deceiving.

The bounce house is a nice size for children around the ages of 2-3. A five year old went into the bounce house and made short work of the sides. The material is flimsy and children under the weight requirement can easily overwhelm the sides of this product and end up on the ground. I wouldn't allow any children over 30lbs to play in this. The anchors are so poorly made after one use with the five year old it tore and can no longer be anchored. In addition you can't use an extension cord with this product.
