Reasons to Buy a Bounce House

Why a Backyard Bounce House Was the Best "Ridiculous" Purchase We've Made

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

When my husband told me he had just bought a bounce house for our toddler, my jaw dropped. We had just moved from the city to the suburbs, and while we were both thrilled to have a yard of our own, this felt like a little much. Turns out, it's been one of the best purchases we've made for our daughter (and her friends and our friends). Keep reading to learn more about why we love our bounce house and to shop for your own!

It’s easy to set up.

All you need is an outlet and some space. The bounce house comes with a blower that fills it with air within minutes.

It’s perfect for a party.

Our bounce house has become a staple in our backyard whenever we have a play date or barbecue. It is endless entertainment for the kids, and the adults can actually talk to each other while our kids are occupied.

It's Great For Everyday, Too.

Sometimes my husband and I want to be a little bit lazy but don't want our daughter to be bored or to stick her in front of a screen. In five minutes, we can get the bounce house set up, and she's happy to jump in there by herself (though she wants us to watch!). And I'll admit, we get in there with her sometimes, too.
