We LOVE this bounce house! Honestly, what influenced my purchase decision was: 1) The logic of this over a trampoline for our climate and safety 2) the awesome reviews I read before purchasing and 3) how active our 3 and 5 year olds are and how miserable I anticipated the upcoming 6 month Wisconsin winter to be. It has been awesome! We use it in our basement where my at home business is... so when I am working or whenever they are rambunctious we just start it up and a minute later it transforms everything! Seriously awesome! Thank you!
