Rec on ball pit

If you have a ball pit/jump house, which one do you have?  Any issues with it?

Re: Rec on ball pit

  • You can just make a ball pit for basically like $15. You just need a 3 ring pool inflatable pool and a pack or two of balls from Walmart. I know that MRSLLG and Blair (Beth Anne) made theirs. I have an inflatable pool if you want to borrow it.

  • Thanks dbert.  I can check into something like that too.  I guess I was thinking something that they can bounce in also -- does the inflatable pool have a cushioning bottom or just a flat sheet.

    Thanks for the offer -- it's actually for Claire's bday party which will be in MN this year so borrowing it probably won't work but thanks!

  • The bottom of mine is cushy because it blows up, but I've never seen a bouncy house and a ball pit in one, but maybe that exists! Seriously, the pool is really easy to fold up and throw in a suitcase, it isn't huge! And actually that photo at the bottom of my siggy is from mrsLLG's son's party and the ball pit she did.

    ETA: I just looked up the bouncy ball pit thing, that is cool!! I never knew that existed!!

  • We have THIS ONE from One Step Ahead. It's huge. It says for 2 kids, but 4-5 could easily jump at the same time. We have 2 packs of the soft plastic balls that the kids keep in there too.  It was great for the 1st 6 months, but then got 2 leaks pretty quickly. It's currently waiting on repair (via DH) again.  But my kids are super rough and tumble and might just be too much for it.  :-)

  • Thanks gals.  I found one that I think will work for us.  My ILs can even pick it up at the store in MN so I don't have to pay shipping! (just have to ship it home later).

    I foresee lots of future playdates at your house.  Kids love these things!

    Sounds good with me!  Hopefully it doesn't start leaking right away.  Whether I looked at the $20 pool ones or the $100 bounce house ones, they all had some people commenting on leaks at some point.  We decided to go with this one.

  • Amazon had a lot better reviews on it.  Here are some photos if you're interested.  I'll let you know how it works out.
