Bouncers / inflatables are one of the most popular items in the children’s rental section in the party rental industry. Inflatables will entertain children for hours jumping, bouncing, bouncing off the walls or tackling the figures available in the larger units.

Caution and precautions are the rule for safe and enjoyable experience. Once your inflatable is delivered and set up a responsible adult should attend the unit. Depending on the jumper’s ages and sizes, six to ten children in a 13 x 15 or 15 x 15 size bounce at one time, is the rule. This allows for jumping space for all without bumping into each other which can cause injury.
