    Bouncy House??

    Do any of you have a bouncy house for out doors? What are your thoughts behind them. I do not have a swing set, so looking for an easy activity for outside when they need to burn energy.....

    my old provider had one of the smaller ones (for like ages 6 and under or so)
    the kids loved it - she brought it out a few times per month

      I don't have one but we have a local place with bouncy houses and I have heard of a number (including clients) have suffered broken bones from there- both adults and kids.

      The last time I was in the ER someone was there that I knew that had just been to the bouncy place and the ER doctor told her the bouncy place is the ER's best referral place::. YIKES!

      I would never have one but if you do be cautious.

        I own one, but mine is like a rock wall on the inside, I got a fabulous deal on it at walmart several years ago. The only draw back is you have to monitor it (but if you don't have school agers then I wouldn't worry) and you need to put it away as it stains on it like mildew. Nothing you can do about it, its just the way the material is made.
        I would purchase a swing set over the bouncy castle because you can't use it all year round like a swing set (I own 3 swing sets)

          I have one; it comes out one day a week in the summer, usually on Maniac Mondays because they are so crazy. I have one of those big water slides with a pool at the end also, that's usually out on Wet and Wild Wednesday.

          Storing them is a pita, but the kids love them! And when the kids are entertained their daycare lady is happy

            Yet another thing that I am not allowed to have as a licensed provider! If you are licensed, check with your rules before you buy one for daycare!
