4-Year-Old's Favorite Toy

We got the Spongebob Bounce 'Round for Christmas 2003 for our son, then almost 3. So now we have gotten over a year's worth of use out of it. My son loves it now as much as he did when we first got it. I, too, thought it was expensive, but I did not realize how durable and well-made it would be. The canvas is really thick and durable. As someone else mentioned, it is made so that it "breathes", so it doesn't matter if it gets a small hole in it, but I have not had any, and it has taken a TON of abuse from my boys. Also the pump is super powerful - it really does fill up completely in less than one minute. Not only do my kids bounce in it, but they pretend it is their "house" and do lots of pretend play in it. My only complaints - and these are minor - is that the storage bag that it comes with is too small - you'd have to be Houdini to get the bouncer back into it. On my last attempt to do just that, the zipper gave out, so now I have no good way to store it. Also - the pump is not very well balanced and doesn't have a large enough base, so it is always tipping over. Probably not very safe. Lastly, it is pretty noisy, but I've gotten used to it. Overall, I think the bouncer is a great value and always the first thing kids want to do when they come over, and it's a great way for kids to get exercise and burn energy on a yucky day.

Get One of These!

We got one for Christmas, and my 3 kids have had a blast! What a wonderful toy to have on hand for yucky, rainy days when the kids are driving you batty. The set-up is really simple, and it really does keep them entertained for hours. It's great for them to have friends over and have something fun to do. We've used it indoors and will probably take it outdoors when the weather improves. It seemed really expensive to me at the time, but now I'm glad we spent the money. It's worth it!

Great Bounce 'Round

This Bounce 'Round just made my child's day. There is nothing better!
