let's bounce!! hayneedle bounce house review and giveaway!

By Jennifer (Double Duty Mommy) at 11:18 PM
I have a love/hate relationship with our Florida weather. It was freezing one day and now it's scorching hot with humidity that could kill someone. I'm a sweaty person so the humidity and I are not friends, lol. Sorry was that too much info?
So on the days where I love our perfectly cool evenings with a light breeze, we play outside. With the help of Hayneedle, they make Spring and Summer time play that much easier. You can shop in one place for all our outdoor play things, BBQs, lawn mowers, inflatable water slides and so much more I swear!

We were sent the My Little Princess Bounce House by Kidwise that Hayneedle sells! Makenna had no idea it was sitting in the garage for a couple days. One a nice day we set it up and when she came home from school she was so excited to see it on the front lawn!

I love that everything is included so we didn't have to go out and buy a special blower or a part to attach to the air pump we already have for our cars.
Also included is 8 stakes, easy instructions, a repair kit and a carry bag.

Set up was extremely simple and took all of about 2 minutes. We have a nice size yard, front and back, but it's not the best for things like this because front, sides and back are pretty hill-y... if that's a word, haha. Please don't mind our patchy brown spots of grass it's a work in progress if you read previously. Side note: you can totally tell where our yard ends and the neighbor's yard is. They sooo don't care about their grass.

The air pump has 2 holes on either side that need to be staked into the ground, along with the bounce house which also has 2 holes on either side so of course it doesn't tip over, that would not be good.
It literally took about 45 seconds to inflate the whole castle which is great if you have little kids eager to bounce and play.
Castle Info:
Dimensions
7.5L x 7.5W x 6H feet
Material
Heavy Duty Vinyl
Weight Capacity
200 lbs.
Weight
35 lbs.

I love the pink-and-purple color scheme and beneath the turrets is a roomy bounce area with side netting to protect kids from falls. the My Little Princess Bounce House castle is ideal for children age 3 to 8 years old, and like some of the other small bounce houses on Hayneedle this one can accommodate two 100-pound kids at a time thanks to the 200 lb. weight capacity. The lightweight 35-pound design is easy to move also, which is great.

Shhh we broke the rules, we let Kendall play in it before Makenna got home from school. She had a blast playing with the ball pit balls we threw in there. So yes, even though the age restriction is for 3 years old we knew Kendall was safe since no other kids were around her.

And of course, once Makenna was home from school and changed our of her uniform clothes she jumped on in and had a blast! Her words are that, "It's so bouncy and funnn!" :) So take it from a 6 year old, this castle is awesome.

The most exciting thing about owning your own bounce house is knowing you don't have to rent one for a birthday party and your kids will have endless fun and burn off all that extra energy almost every day if you let them!
When the little kiddies are done bouncing and practically putting themselves to bed, it will only take you about 6 minutes to completely flatten out the bounce house once you turn off the air blower! It lays down pretty much exactly how it looked in the beginning all my itself but let me tell you... that pretty little square you see in the 1st picture, yeah it has never folded up like that again. We can still get it into the carry bag, thankfully but what I wouldn't give for it to look nice and neat.

Our next buy has to be one of the water trampolines that Hayneedle sells! Have you seen how cool these things are?! We live close to so many lakes that this would be a perfect investment!

If you rent a bounce house I recommend using a company that participates in SIOTO (Safe Inflatable Operators Training organization) like http://jumptastics.com.
