Inflatable rentals are a great addition to any child’s birthday party. They instantly grab the children’s attention and provide them with hours of fitness fun. Parents love the fact their children are having a blast while getting great exercise and you’ll love the fact they are easy to set up and entertain without too much effort on your part. When you rent a bounce house for a party, you’ll need very little else to make the event memorable for your child.

Inflatable bounce houses are great fun but if basic safety practices aren’t followed, injuries could occur. So, be sure all guests follow these simple rules of inflatable rental fun.

* Keep A Watchful Eye: When your child and their friends enter the bounce house, it’s best to assume they lose all sense of safety because they are having crazy fun! So, appointing an adult or friend to monitor the activity inside the house is vital for safety purposes. Even the best behaved children in the world can go wild in a bounce house so keep someone on hand to calm any unsafe behavior inside the bounce house before an injury occurs.

* Same Age Bouncers: When you choose to mix age groups in a bounce house, you’re throwing small kids into a bouncer with larger kids. This is the recipe for injury! Small kids can quickly become injured by larger kids in a bounce house. Thus, if you have various age groups present at your child’s party it’s best to break them up into groups by size and let them bounce with those their size. You can set a time limit and switch groups several times throughout the party so everyone can have a great time while staying safe.

* Don’t Overload The Bouncer: Inflatable rentals all come with load limits. This allows the unit to be used safely, without the risk of overcrowding. When you allow too many children to jump together in the bouncer, you will be putting them at a risk of injury. Be sure to divide larger groups into small groups of bouncers and switch them out so everyone can have fun and stay safe.

* Give The Kids A Break: When kids have been bouncing for a while, it’s natural for them to get tired. Many children might try to take a sitting break in a corner of the bounce house which is very dangerous. They can get hit by another bouncing child, very easily. So, either require all children to leave the bounce house if they want to take a break or simply schedule breaks for the kids. Allow them to bounce for 20 minutes and then move to another activity for a few moments before letting them bounce once more.

* Have A First Aid Kit Handy: Injuries can occur in a bounce house, although they are most often very minor (scraped finger, bruised arm, etc.) so having a first aid kit handy will make the process go a little smoother if a minor disaster does strike your party.
