Inflatable Bouncers

Get Hopping with Inflatable Bouncers

An inflatable bouncer offers fun and excitement for many events. It can be set up at a birthday party, school function, or special event with friends and family. There is a variety of sizes to choose from that will suit the ages of the people using the bounce house and where it will be placed.

There are several types of inflatable houses to choose from on eBay. Some have a slide on the side that you can add water to or leave dry. A small bouncer castle sometimes features designs that are attractive to younger children, such as a bear or an elephant, and usually aren't as tall as a standard bounce house. You can usually find a bounce house that is in the shape of a circle and is similar to what a pool looks like. Small plastic balls can be put in this type of inflatable for children to play with.

Another option is a zorb ball, which is an inflatable ball that you go inside and walk or roll around in. These can be used on land or even in the water. Other types of inflatables include costumes, jungle jumpers, and houses that feature well-known cartoon and movie characters.

Before selecting a bounce house to jump on, you should consider the event, the ages of the people who will be using the jumper, and the space that you have for the inflatable bounce house to sit. Here are some ways to use a bounce house:

• Jumping: The main reason people get a standard commercial bounce house is to jump on it. The better inflated the bounce house is, the better the experience will be.
• Running an obstacle course: Run through an obstacle course that features slides, balls in a pit, or hanging objects to get around.
• Running and bumping: Some inflatable objects look like balls that you stand in while running around. You can hit other people  without hurting them, of course - while wearing the inflatable.

The age limit for an inflatable bouncer usually depends on its size. A small inflatable would be appropriate for a toddler but not for an older child due to the size. Most larger bounce houses, such as a moonwalk or a castle, are suitable for both children and adults.
