Bounce
houses are quickly gaining popularity, especially ideal for toddlers,
learning and implementing some basic bounce house safety
tips is necessary. It's very important to let the kids know that
there will be certain rules and guidelines in place to ensure their
safety.
The
first thing you need to do is make sure the inflatable bouncer is
adequately anchored and firmly in place. There are several
occurrences of these contraptions blowing away with large gusts of
wind. It's better to err on the side of caution, and use plenty of
stakes and sandbags to properly secure the baby bounce house.
In
fact, if the wind is blowing particularly hard on any given day, then
just don't allow the kids to use the toy. They may be upset at first,
but it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to injuries and
safety concerns.
It's
important that kids of the same age group be using the bounce house
together, as opposed to letting a wide range of ages to play
together. There is a big difference between four year olds hopping
around and thirteen year olds hopping around, and you don't want the
little ones to get squashed by the older kids.
It's
also good to keep a limit as to how many kids should be allowed to
hop around in the inflatable at the same time. Keep the number to a
respectable level, like 5-10, and this should greatly diminish the
possibility of injuries. It also keeps the stress on the unit to a
minimum, which is great for those parents who purchase one to own and
keep for many years to come.
There
should always be an adult present to monitor the goings on inside
bounce houses. Feel free to implement your own, or even tweak these
just a bit. Just remember that it's of paramount importance to set
some basic rules and guidelines to help keep things safe for you,
your kids and the entire neighborhood.
