A Bouncy Castle Review - Mom's Opinion

A Bouncy Castle Review - Mom's Opinion


Finding things to keep youngsters occupied at a party or barbecue isn't always simple particularly if you have a group which vary in age.

However, I always found that a bouncy castle was the solution! The children (and adults!) would bounce and have a great time for hours no matter if they were toddlers or almost teens. It is brilliant fun and a great workout - the down side is the hassle and the expense of having to hire one for each event.

Then I realised that you could actually buy a bouncy castle, which would bring a huge amount of entertainment for the children on a more regular basis and which in the long run cost a whole lot less. So that is what I did and so did a couple of my friends. We all purchased bouncy castles, so, we have got together and written a review of each one.

Bouncy Castle Review 1:

Castle Inflatable Bounce House With Slide By Inflatable Impressions

I bought this for my two youngsters aged 3 and 6 years respectively and they think that this jumping castle is absolutely brilliant and I have to say I agree with them!

The first thing to mention about the inflatable bounce house is that it is not too big. so, if the weather is not in your favour you can fit it into in a basement or a garage. It also means you don't have to have a huge yard to use it outside either!

I discovered that three children can bounce happily without bumping into each other. My only concern is that the entrance opening is only kept together with Velcro and if a child should fall against it they may fall out and injure themselves - I fixed this by placing a blow up mattress outside!

It comes with its own "blower" and inflates rapidly, it is also very easy to dismantle again. The blower is not particularly noisy and definitely keeps good air pressure inside the jumping castle while the children play.

I was very surprised that for the price this bouncy castle is very well made and seems to be extremely robust. One purchase I have no regrets about!

Some Important Facts:

Dimensions: 12' X 9' and 7' High

Maximum Players: 3

Maximum Weight: 250lbs

Inflation Time: 2 Minutes

Comes with: UL blower motor, ground stakes and carry bag.

Bouncy Castle Review 2:

Blast Zone Magic Castle Inflatable Bouncer By Blast Zone

My friend bought this for her young son and his friends, here is what she thought about this bouncy castle.

The Blast Zone Magic Castle Inflatable bouncer is wonderful quality for a relatively low cost. The colours are vibrant - exactly as you see in the promotional photographs!

It has high, mesh outer walls which are just what is needed for safety and the platform for bouncing on is nice and flat.

It can be erected in no time at all and put away just as quickly. The blower is a little aggravating - it sounds sort of like a hair-dryer, but after a while you tend not to notice it too much.

I have allowed up to 4 toddlers playing happily in this jumping castle but for the older kids I put a limit of two at a time!

My small moan would be that on a bright summers day the youngsters have no protection from the sun - their hats come off when they bounce! A detachable sun screen would be a brilliant addition. My second complaint is the amount of power the blower uses, boy does it whiz the meter round but, such is life!

Without doubt we are all over the moon with our bouncy castle and look forward to many hours of fun for years to come.

Some Important Facts:

Dimensions: 8.5' W x 11' L x 8' H

Maximum Players: 3

Maximum Weight: 300lbs

Inflation Time: Around 2 Minutes

Comes with: UL Blower and Stakes

Bouncy Castle Review 3:

Ultimate Combo Inflatable Bounce House By Bounceland

My other friend bought this Rolls Royce of bouncy castles for her 3 youngsters it looks awesome but what did she and her children think?

WOW! That was my first reaction when I saw this jumping castle fully erected in the back yard. Then Oh My God! that slide looks high!

The fact is that this is the most appreciated few hundred bucks I have ever spent because the youngsters spend hours amusing themselves in their bouncy castle.

It erects and comes down quickly and without hassle and appears to be manufactured to a high standard using excellent quality materials. The blower I find a little noisy but I suppose is par for the course.

The actual bounce platform is quite small but there are so many other bits to this bouncy castle that the youngsters can spend hours playing and never bounce once! The additional activity areas include a ball bit, basketball hoops, the slide (which I have to say does have safety netting at the top) a tunnel as well as areas to climb.

I have had 6 small children to play in this bouncy castle without any difficulty but I would imagine that this will vary depending on the size and age of the children.

This has been a brilliant investment, the kids love it and can amuse themselves for a long time - we had our first party the other week with the "new bouncy castle" and it was very successful. Who needs to pay for entertainment when you can have an Ultimate Combo Inflatable Bounce House in the yard!

Some Important Facts:

Dimensions: L 12 ftxW 10 ft xH 8.5 ft.

Maximum Players: 4

Maximum Weight: 400lbs

Inflation Time: Less Than 1 Minute

Comes with: Strong UL Blower

Whilst we all want our youngsters to have fun and they all love their bouncy castles safety has to be a priority. Please follow all the manufactures instructions carefully and ensure that there is always adult supervision.
