Bouncy house for your yard?

TRU has a cool one for $259 and I might get it, but it seems a little douchey to buy one.  What's next? A pony?

Re: Bouncy house for your yard?

  • We have one (think it's the $200 one that I got on sale last year for about $120)...it's nice to have when he have lots of kids over playing...I don't blow it up that often but it's really fun to pull it out every so often.

  • yep, we have one too.... it has a little hole in it though, need to fix it.

    We pull it out maybe 3-5 times a year, but it's always fun for the kids when we have a lot of people over.

  • i've thought about it but think it would be more trouble than it's worth.

  • No. I have no desire to get one for many reasons.

    We do go to an indoor bounce house on occasion though and he absolutely loves the obstacle course ones.

  • We have one. We got it with the gift cards that the twins got for their 2nd birthday. We've only used it about 6 or 7 times but it has been a life saver. I used it when we had our garage sales or when we've had friends over. We have a side yard as opposed to a backyard and it's not fenced in. It's just a neighborhood street and not super busy but it's nice to have that distraction for the kids.

    And I don't think it's douchey to have one; it's just like having a trampoline; just safer.

    that's our set up, too.  I think I might get one for the boys b/c it will be SO FUN.  I'm just afraid it's an odd thing to have at home, you know? 

  • We just got one and dd and her friends love it..but it isnt someting we pull out daily
