Hoppity Hop - Bounce Houses for Toddlers and Kids


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.
