Perfect for siblings even with an age gap!
We have a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old so struggle to find things they can both enjoy and play on together. This is perfect for them. Has been used multiple times every day since we got it! Inflated in less than the advertised 2 minutes and is easy to store. Highly recommend for hours of fun!

Our family loves it
It's great for kids up to 8. Big kids can jump around and my 2 year old loves it too. On rainy days I put it up in the garage and on sunny days I put it outside. Super easy set up and clean up. I've used it everyday since I purchased it.

Great Present
Purchased for grandson 2 1/2 and granddaughter 8 months. Excellent buy and investment. Easy to inflate in about 3 minutes and easy to take down in about 5 minutes.
It's perfect!
We bought this for my 2.5 year old daughter. She absolutely loves it!! Also a little note about the big slide. It's hard to see in the photo, but there is netting around the top yellow part of the slide so you don't have to worry about your child falling off the back of the slide. I was glad to see that when we inflated it. It's also a great size. Not too big, not too small.

Great value for the price
My 4 and 8 year old love this. Better for smaller children - generally have about 3 to 4 4 year old's on it at any time.

Good
Great but its dangerous at the slide, they may fall to the back of it. They should make something to hold them tight!
For 2-5 year olds maybe 6... not up to age 8....
I bought this little jumper because it was the least expensive of all the bounce houses I could find and I used my Sam's rewards which brought it down to under a hundred dollars so it was a no brainer. My kids love it. That said - here is my honest review. FILL TIME: First - it took at least 6 minutes to "fill" (not 2 or under 2 like some have said) and it did not really fill it to the nice sturdy fully-filled amount that I would expect from a bounce house. None of the yellow inflatable bars including the u-shaped one behind the big slide - are filled enough to capacity in my opinion to offer extra safety. OTHER TIME: Secondly, you have to also take a few minutes to get it out of bag or box and stake it into the ground and stake your blower into the ground as well. That's fine - but I'm not a bounce house person so you need to factor in this isn't a throw it in the yard and push a button type of thing. SET UP: You might need help as it is quite heavy and getting those stakes into the ground requires a rubber mallet (which I do not have) or a hammer - which i used but oh my goodness - it's hard work getting those stakes hammered into the grass. TAKE DOWN: On top of that - forget about getting this thing into the flimsy bag it comes with!! :( If you are able to sushi roll this thing that is the size and height of a couple cal-king sized mattresses into a postage stamp size piece of vinyl - please share whatever witchcraft you cast to make that happen. Alas - this was a hot mess to try to wrangle up into that goofy bag. Also - there is no bag or storage for the huge heavy blower or stakes. So I kept the box it came in for that stuff for now. FAULTY BITS: Good luck ... ugh. It seems everything made these days has some kind of flaw upon initial de-boxing and this product was no different. So sad. You spend your hard earned money for what you think is what you are paying for (does that makes sense, lol) and you get less than what you were given the impression you were paying for. I have included pictures of the two minor but annoying flaws on product. A tear at the seam on the inflatable inflater tube and a few thread loops look loose upon inflation in the upper left hand corner. Minor - but annoying. There are also seveal spots on the thing that seem like air is leaking out. From my understanding this is supposedly normal as it gives the "give" that bounces have - but dudes -this bounce house already has so much give as is... because it doesnt inflate properly to the amount of fullness that it already should. Come on. BLOWER: The more annoying problem is the weak blower included with the product which never seems to force enough output or horsepower to fill this inflatable to a proper sturdy bounce. On the plus side - it is not super loud... so that is good with neighbors to consider. About as loud as a pool filter...ANNOYING - although today is the second day we have used it - it seems even weaker today than it did yesterday - we had it inflated for about 1.5 hours yesterday... and today for less than an hour... Everytime my 8 year old bounces up and down on the bouncey part the motor whirs along like a wheezing metronome... ugh. REALLY DESIGNED FOR KIDS 2.5 - 5 years of age: Really, 6, 7,8 year olds will enjoy but that is pushing it... I mean it is a gorgeously colored, bright, happy, cheerful, bouncy thing - so yeah - any kids would flip to see this! However, if you have more than one of those older kids in here... it's not going to work for very long... If you have three kids aged 2, 4, and 6 - get it! If you have three kids aged 4, 6, 8 - yeah- get it. If you have three kids aged 2, 5 , and 9 - eh... I would maybe get it for the younger two... and then you'd prob want to invest in something sturdier bigger (ugh and more expensive for sure like $400-600). I would caution against getting this for older kids aged 7-8 or kids who are more aggressive or athletic players .... read on... I have a little guy who is 4.5 years old he weighs around 32lbs. This is PERFECT for someone HIS size. IF YOU WANT TO BUY FOR KIDS AGED 2.5 - 5 who weigh under 45lbs - that would work. For me personally, I wouldn't do it for kids any older. You need a different bounce house for two or more older kids like 6 and 7 and up especially if they weigh more than 50lbs or are taller than 50-60" and are a bit more aggressive ... is that even the right word? No. Because I don't think wanting to go nuts in a bounce house as a 7, 8, 9 year old is aggressive - uh - NO - it's what you are supposed to do in a bounce house, lol. But even with my super duper gentle 8 year old daughter... seriously she is a featherweight and a total sweet gentle kid - she just wanted to bounce and go nuts and tried to tap on to the big yellow inflatable bar and the whole thing collapsed in... so yeah... no... this isn't made for up to 8... or at least not more than 1 kid up to 8. if they are tall enough to jump up and touch the yellow bar - they are tall enough and old enough to want to be kids... in a bounce house.... the smaller kids who can't reach up that high - this is fine for them... but do you see what I am saying.... you don't want to have to keep scolding your kids to calm down or not be so rough or take it easy ... they are supposed to get all coo coo in there. So this is not the bounce house for multiple older siblings... SAFETY: The netting/tube behind the "big" slide is so flimsy - the inflatable u-shaped bar does not inflate enough to support a little kid who might lean back on it - they will tumble right out and that's like a 3-4 foot drop to the ground... So again - had to stand right next to it and tell the kids to not be too rough and not to lean on anything... really? What a drag. :\ Yes - I know - first world problems.... and AGAIN - it's all ok if you are right there and they listen to you and understand to be careful. But in a bounce house they should be able to get a little rambunctious without having to worry they might take the whole thing down or tumble backwards out of a flimsy inflatable with a wrong lean. Just take this into consideration when thinking about a more athletic (or normal - really - not more aggressive - like I said my kids are pretty gentle players, or older, players aged 7-8 or those who weigh a little more - the weight limit is 250?? Uhm ok.. NO... I am closer to 200 than 100lbs. and if I go in there the whole thing is ready to sink in lol. Yikes. .... Can you imagine having two or 3 50lbs kids in there standing in the same spot or leaning into or falling into the netting? NOOOOOO.... this is for little guys and girls... I read in the comments/questions about older kids so If you have boys who are 6 and 9 years old who weight 50 -60 lbs. I wouldn't recommend buying this for them. No way. They need a bigger sturdier piece to let loose in. AGE/KID THIS IS FOR: It really is meant as a FIRST TIME BOUNCE HOUSE for a little kid - like toddlers... it will give toddlers a thrill. Like I said it is perfect for my 4.5 year old 32lbs boy. He is the perfect size and age for it. We have a little cousin who is 2 who will enjoy playing in it with him I guess when she visits in 2022. :P SECOND TIME IN USE: and I'm going to have to give this thing one THUMB up and ONE thumb DOWN.... Ugh --- not sure if we will be keeping this based on how it is faring on day 2.... this might get returned and I might just have to shell out a couple more bucks to get something sturdier.... and it is already a lot less full of air and not as sturdy or full as it was the day before when we used it for the first time and had it inflated for under 1.5 hours.... :( What is going on... ... I don't think there is a leak anywhere... it just doesn't seem to be as fully inflated as it should be.... :( not cool. TLDR: Yeah - so aside from all of my crabbing and critical criticisms - all in all - this proved to be a big winner in our house for our two cutie pies. Even on Day 2 - with a wimpier inflation.... Honestly - for what I paid - I'm happy I got it.... but if this thing isn't going to inflate like it should on the third use... or do better tommrrow... it's going back and I'll just get the bigger better bounce house at Walmart or amazon... can't win 'em all. Happy Quarantine!
