The category "inflatable jumpers" encompasses simple inflatable pads with inflatable walls that fit indoors comfortably to enormous bouncy castles that people rent for parties. While the huge inflatable jumpers are most commonly rented, they can be bought by those whose backyard (and wallets) can accommodate them.
At the small end of the scale, circular bouncers resemble a round, brightly colored, inflatable boxing ring with inflatable sides rather than ropes. These cost around $50 and will fit in a typical den or playroom. They’re designed to hold one or two children, with a combined weight limit of around 120 lbs. Some people change it up a bit by adding a hundred or so ball pit balls, which are often available from the same place as the inflatable jumper.
These are great for keeping little ones entertained on a rainy afternoon.
For $150 to $300, more elaborate inflatable jumpers – often in the general shape of a castle – are available:
Little Tikes makes one that has had good reviews and costs about $250. Sometimes these are small enough to fit indoors, but more often they need a backyard:
Inflatable jumpers can be quite elaborate, too, taking on the shape of wild animals, safari huts, and other imaginative designs. Quite often, an inflatable slide is included as part of the inflatable jumper, adding on yet another fun activity. The more elaborate inflatable jumpers usually cost $300 to $500:
For those who want to play in the big leagues, large inflatable bouncers with blowers can cost well over $2,000. Usually these are purchased by businesses that plan parties and other events. For personal use, you would be taking on a big expense, and may think about buying another recreational addition like a swimming pool instead. The advantage that an inflatable slide would have would be that in many places it could be used at least nine months out of the year, unlike a pool.
