What’s Your Kid’s Favorite Bounce House Theme?

April 27, 2023 sfbadmin

A bounce house is fun for kids ages 6 to 12, but it’s even more attractive and exciting when the
bounce house theme matches a child’s interests. Inflatable bounce houses for rent encompass
an extensive range of themes from which to choose. Individuals can select from themes ranging
from pirates and princesses to Sponge Bob and everything in between.
Sports
It doesn’t matter what sport a child is interested in, there’s a bounce house to accommodate
any desire. Bounce houses are available with a basketball, soccer, football, baseball, auto
racing, and monster truck theme.
Fun Fantasy
Bounce houses with popular animated, storybook and fairy tale characters are an ideal solution
and many are specially designed with toddlers in mind. Toddler bounce houses include those
with a carnival theme, gingerbread, Sesame Street, Micky, Lego Land, Baby Shark, and
dinosaurs. The Candy Land and Zoo Island bounce houses feature a mini slide and other
activities inside.
Bounce houses for older youngsters include Sponge Bob, pirates, princesses, and Dora and
Diego. Choose from superheroes, Alice in Wonderland and Barbie, along with Despicable Me,
Frozen, Finding Nemo, Elmo, Hello Kitty, and firefighters. Party planners can also find a bounce
house with a western, patriotic or military theme.
Holiday
A holiday gathering is a great time to celebrate the season with a giant elf-themed bounce
house. Standing 28 ft. tall, the bounce house is adorned with a brightly colored elf seated on
top. A 28 ft. snowman themed bounce house can also be rented. The entire bounce house is in
the shape of a giant snowman. Individuals can also choose a holiday gingerbread house or
Santa’s workshop. Halloween-themed bounce houses are full of non-scary fun.
Disco Dome
For tweens and teens, the bounce house features its own music and lighting system. It can be
connected via Bluetooth for a customized playlist or via a USB memory stick.

Bounce Houses are Perfect for Backyard Family BBQs

April 27, 2023 sfbadmin

Most people think of a bounce house in terms of fairs and carnivals. Anywhere there’s a
gathering of children age 6 to 12 is a good venue for a bounce house, including a backyard
family BBQ.
Keep Kids Occupied
There’s an inherent appeal in a bounce house that can’t be denied. It’s a great way to keep kids
occupied, entertained, and away from grills or smokers. It’s also an excellent opportunity for
children to work off excess energy that can easily find an outlet in less appropriate ways.
Health Benefits
While the health benefits of a bounce house aren’t usually high on a priority list, the inflatables
are a healthy outlet. They stimulate the circulatory system and represent a healthy aerobic
workout. They help kids improve coordination and balance skills, while strengthening muscles.
Rules and Precautions
Hosts need to know that a bounce house needs to be monitored by a responsible adult at all
times and must be set up in a certain way.
 Set up away from fences, structures, low-hanging tree limbs, and overhead utility lines
 On flat ground free of sticks, rocks, sprinkler heads and similar sharp objects
 Limit the number of children using the bounce house at one time to 3 to 4
 Only use a bounce house in sock feet
 Have kids remove glasses, jewelry and remove any sharp objects from their person that
might damage the bounce house
 Children of the same size, age and weight should use the bounce house at the same
time to minimize the ripple effect
 Never let kids under age 6 use a bounce house or youngsters over the age of 12
 Never use a bounce house in the rain or if the wind is strong enough to blow dust
around
With responsible monitoring and precautions, a bounce house is a wonderful addition to a
backyard BBQ. It provides entertainment for the younger set and gives adults a chance to catch
up on family news.

Where’s the Best Place to Have the Bounce House Set Up?

April 27, 2023 sfbadmin

Bounce houses create hours of fun and provide healthy exercise for children, provided the
inflatable is set up appropriately. There are certain rules for establishing a bounce house to
ensure the safety of those using it and to protect the integrity of the inflatable.
The Surface
A bounce house should only be set up on a flat, even surface. It should be free of sticks, stones,
rocks, and branches. The inflatable should also be set up away from irrigation sprinkler heads.
Aside from the danger of puncturing the bounce house, adults need to remember that children
exiting the bounce house may be wobbly and fall.
Weather Concerns
The weather can change rapidly in South Florida. Bounce houses should never be used when it’s
raining or a storm is on the horizon. Wind is another critical factor. Don’t use a bounce house if
the wind is strong enough to blow dust and/or small gravel around.
Other Hazards
Overhead branches are a definite danger and a bounce house should never be erected under
low hanging branches. It should be kept far from overhead utility lines, fences, sheds and other
types of hazards such as trampolines, swings and outdoor furniture on all sides.
Adult Supervision
It’s imperative that adult supervision is present at all times. It will be the responsibility of that
adult to ensure no more than 3 or 4 users are in the inflatable at one time. Youngsters should
all be of a similar build to mitigate the ripple effect that comes with jumping. Users should also
be similar in age – never mix young children with their older counterparts to maintain safety.
The adult will also be charged with having youngsters remove jewelry, glasses and empty their
pockets of any objects that could potentially puncture the bounce house. Users must remove
their shoes before entering and wear socks while in the inflatable.

South Florida Bounce…One Stop Resource for Fun

Planning any kind of gathering presents a variety of difficulties that can be remedied with a call
to a local company that rents inflatables. The businesses are an excellent one stop resource for
everything from bounce houses, water slides and fun food machines to tents, tables and chairs.
The companies offer affordable pricing and provide an ideal way to ensure everyone has food,
entertainment and seating for any event.

Entertainments
Inflatables run the gamut from the ever-popular water slide to bounce houses for younger
guests. Attendees can indulge in interactive sports and sci-fi experiences to bull riding and an
impromptu dance party for teens. Individuals can play life-size board games, try their hand at
an obstacle course or engage in a sumo wrestling challenge.

Games
Inflatable rental companies also have a variety of carnival-type games. Hosts can choose from
balloon pop, basketball throw and tic-tac-toe to ring toss, whack-a-mole and skee ball. Booths
are available to create a fun atmosphere. Inflatable rentals are equally appropriate for a
backyard party, corporate event, or a church or school fundraiser.

Food
It’s not truly a party without food – guests burn a lot of energy playing games. Fun food
machines can be rented that are easy, convenient and keep guests fed. They include hotdog
broilers and bun warmers, along with those to make popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy and to
dispense pucker powder candy.

Amenities
One of the most overlooked details is providing sufficient amenities for guests that includes
tables and chairs where people can eat, rest and converse. Inflatable rentals offer adult and
child-size chairs, traditional rectangular and circular tables, along with cocktail tables.
Tents are another overlooked item when planning a gathering. The South Florida heat and
humidity can be overwhelming, particularly if guests are moving around playing games and
having fun. Tent rentals are available, providing an essential place for adults and children to
savor some shade while resting and rehydrating.

Interactive Bounce Houses

The term interactive bounce house is somewhat of a misnomer – the entertainments are far
more than simple bounce houses typically associated with children. The amusements are
considered inflatables and the following are just some of the available options available for
private parties, corporate events, schools and fundraisers.

Obstacle Course
Inflatable obstacle courses offer a myriad of challenges. Individuals can choose options that
include rope and rock climbing challenges, along with warrior and military obstacle courses Fun
house and corn mazes, ninja walls and extreme challenges are available for competitive people
of all ages.

Warp Speed Arena
The group activity is great for teen and adult party-goers and offers a unique corporate team-
building experience. The interactive inflatable can be played 1-on-1 or 2 teams of 2 players. It
challenges coordination, strength, endurance and hand-eye coordination.

Mechanical Bull
Popularized in 1980 thanks to the movie Urban Cowboy, mechanical bulls remain popular and
few can resist trying to outride friends.

Velcro Climbing Wall
Fun for all ages, it doesn’t matter if someone takes a tumble – they land on a soft, inflatable
surface that gently breaks their fall.

Human Wrecking Ball
A 4-person experience, players stand on an inflatable pad while dodging the “wrecking ball”
swung by an opponent. It’s especially popular for high school, college and corporate events,
along with large private parties.

Sports Challenge
The inflatable is a 3-in-1 sports lovers dream, combining soccer, basketball and football under a
single roof. It can be used by 3 people at a time.

Games on the Go
The specially designed and equipped arcade on wheels features over 300 of the most popular
video game titles to play.

Wipe Out
Similar to the popular game show, individuals climb their ladder and try to get from one side of
the platform to the other using the large inflatable balls. The soft ball pit underneath catches
anyone that falls.

Waterslides
One of the most popular and frequently requested interactive is a waterslide. Models are
available in multiple heights, including exciting options that stand 40 ft. tall for a wild and
exhilarating ride. Waterslides are offered in single and multi-lane options. Water-based
entertainments are also offered for small children and toddlers.

Are Bounce Houses Safter Than Trampolines?

Parents are often in a quandary when planning entertainment for a children’s party. They want
youngsters to enjoy themselves while staying safe. Two of the most popular and frequently
requested amusements are a bounce house and trampoline. The next question becomes are
they safe and every parent must make their own decision.

Bounce House
Generally speaking, a bounce house is considered safer. A bounce house is supported entirely
by pressurized air and sets on the ground. Bounce houses are appropriate for youngsters age 6
to 12. Children younger than that don’t have the coordination or motor skills to keep
themselves upright.

The most common injuries reported from bounce house usage are fractures and muscle strains
to the arms, but primarily the legs. Head and neck injuries were next in prevalence. Boys were
more likely to be injured in a bounce house than girls, 53.9 percent compared to 46.1.
Over a 4-year period, more than 82,700 children were injured in a bounce house There have
also been about 30 bounce house-related deaths when a device was blown about by high winds
or was improperly anchored.

Trampoline
In comparison, a trampoline is supported by a metal frame and the jumping surface is elevated
above the ground. Children can be thrown off a trampoline onto the ground, into shrubbery, or
into nearby structures. A specially designed net or cage for a trampoline should always enclose
the equipment to prevent children from being throw off.

Children age 6 and under shouldn’t use a trampoline due to their lack of motor skills. Injuries
are due to colliding with another person, landing improperly, performing stunts, jumping or
falling off a trampoline, and falling on the device’s springs or framework.

Statistics show that the most often reported injuries were fractures – approximately 25.8
percent. Muscle strains came in second at 25.7 percent, and contusions accounted for 14.5
percent of injuries. An estimated 100,000 people are injured on trampolines each year, with
500 of those resulting in permanent neurological damage.
