I bought this for my son's 4th birthday party and it was such a hit. His bday is at the end of March so the weather is never predictable. Instead of renting a bounce house and perhaps losing money because the weather was bad, I bought this and get to keep it for good instead of just a 24 hr rental, and it doesn't cost much more! Good thing I bought it because the weather was terrible so I set up the bounce house in the basement and the kids had a blast. One cried because she didn't want to leave, she was having so much fun. The bounce house is perfect because it is small enough to fit in the house, yet easily transported, so moving it outside is super easy. It's the gift that keeps on giving because now that it's nice out, we set it up almost every weekend and all the neighborhood kids can come over and expel all that energy while the parents get to relax :) I'm a small woman and I can easily set it up and take it down myself. We store it in a large rubbermaid container so the only part that is somewhat difficult to put it away is getting all the air out to fold it up. Otherwise, it's super easy and it inflates in just a minute or so. We've had it about 3 months now and I already can't count how many times we've had it up to play with and it's held up so well. Definitely recommend this for small children, they have a blast and get a lot of exercise! And the parents win too because the kids are entertained for hours and then they're pooped out and sleep well :) Order one now!!
