To my fellow mothers… Buy this thing immediately! I am a mother of a 3 1/2-year-old, an 18-month-old, and an eight week old, and this jumper is a fabulous addition to our backyard. Obviously the newborn does not enjoy it yet, but my older two love it. I was hesitant to get this jumper at first because it was a large purchase, but it has been worth every penny. Every time we have a play date at our house, every single parent comments how awesome it is. We call it the "babysitter".
Things to know about this jumper:
1. It really is not for older children. I find that my kids are at the perfect age for it. The two of them can jump and have plenty of room to have fun. We could also fit quite a few of their small friends with them. I have nephews that are seven and I find that they are just getting to be too big for it. Or should I say, you can only really fit a few seven-year-olds as opposed to quite a few toddlers. I think I like it so much because my kids are so young and I see the potential for using it for many years. As long as it doesn't pop or the motor break, I feel like it could have a good 10+ year life in our backyard.
2. I live in south Louisiana and I find that it is just too hot to use in the summer. I think the one with the roof on it would be great if you live in a really hot area. It's perfect most months here except for the few really hot summer months. I did attempt to put it in the shade this summer for the kids to use, but then all the debris from the tree (sticks, leaves, acorns, bird poop, etc.) ended up in the jumper and it wasn't worth having to clean it all out.
3. Set up and take down is really quite easy. From taking it out of the bag to hooking up the motor and tying off the two air chambers, it takes me less than five minutes. Taking it down is more work because you have to wait until all the air is out of it before you can really roll it up tight to fit in the bag. I don't find it takes that long to deflate it totally. I normally turn the motor off, it deflates immediately, and then I fold it over and let my three-year-old stomp on it until most of the air is out.
4. You have to be careful of moisture. If you get any moisture on the jumper and then store it in the bag, you might see some mold growing on it when you take it out again. It's not the bad mold, it's more like the musty dirt you start to see on things like life jackets after it's been used for quite a while. I've made the mistake of leaving it outside all day and going to pick it up after dark only to realize that the bottom has dew on it since the temperature changed. I then pull it to our patio and roll it up the next day once it's completely 100% dry.
5. After it is all rolled up and in the bag, it is a bit heavy. However, it's not too heavy for the average mom. I'm 5'2 and 115 pounds, and I can handle it just fine. I like that it actually rolls up into a fairly small size given how big it is when in use. I would say it's the equivalent of a really, really big sleeping bag (the size, not the weight).
If you plan to have any of your young child/children's birthday parties at your house, this thing is totally worth the investment. Renting a large fun jump for just one day is around $300. This is something that you can use over and over again. We've already used it for two birthday parties. If we would've rented fun jumps for each of those we could've bought three of these. Seems like a no-brainer.
