It seems there is an infinite number of names for the inflatables you see pictured above.  Moonbounce, moonwalk, jumper, bounce house, bouncer, bouncee, jumpee....they are all the same thing! 

             A standard jumper is either 13x13 or 15x15, with the 15ft size being most popular.  Children typically enter the front of the inflatable through a small 'door' using an the attached step for assistance.  Once inside, the bouncer is just like a trampoline...except it's safer and more fun.  There's no worries about your child falling out as all four sides have walls.  There's mesh on each of those walls so you can keep an eye on them AND to keep them cool! 

            Cleveland Bounce rents two main types of bouncers: fun-house style and castle-style.  The funhouse is pictured on the left without the turrets that make the image on the right a castle.  Inside, they are exactly the same.  Cleveland Bounce does not guarantee which style you will receive...but rest assured that the kids won't care one way or another!   Our color schemes vary from one jumper to the next, and again, we can't guarantee which color scheme you will get.  NONE of the color schemes are too masculine or feminine...most inflatables have a combination of colors like red, blue, green, yellow, and orange.  We won't make your little boy jump around in a pink castle unless you specifically ask for it ;-)  Princess themed bouncers are only $30 more!

             We also offer a castle themed inflatable with a mini slide attached for a bit more interaction.  This one is perfect for children 5 and under, and is pictured below.  The slide is only 5 feet long, so it lends itself well to the 2 and 3 year old crowd that simply loves to climb!  My two year old was a bit overwhelmed by the size of the jumping area, but loved to climb up and down that slide while the rest of the neighborhood "bounced away" inside.

Picking Up an Inflatable

           Although the inflatable castles and fun-houses are heavy and cumbersome, they are very easy to set up.  Most jumpers weigh about 180 lbs and are rolled into a cylinder that is 4 feet high and 18" in width.  As such, you will need something other than a car to pick one up from our warehouse.  That means an SUV, mini-van, truck, or station wagon will suit the task perfectly.  Please don't show up in a Honda Civic to pick up your inflatable!  Once you get it home, you will need 2 strong adults to move it in place.  We are advocates of "working smarter, not harder"...so get yourself a dolly or kid's wagon to make the task a bit easier!  Once it is in place, it should not take you any longer than 10 minutes to set up.  If it sounds like too much work, just ask for a delivery.  Our time slots fill up quickly, so be sure to book well in advance if you think you'd like it delivered.  C

Re-Rolling Your Bouncer

Just like anything else, un-rolling the bouncer is much more difficult than figuring out how to get it back together for transport.  So take your time when setting up, and note how the inflatable is rolled and folded.  We will provide you with a cheat-sheet and a verbal explanation of the process...but setting it up is everything you need to know (in reverse).  So pay attention !!  Or look at our frequently asked questions page for more info on all of our inflatables.
