Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

I got this product as a gift for my 3 and 5 year old. They love it, as well as all of their friends. I also have a 17 month old, but she is not a fan of it yet. I give her a few more months, and she'll be bouncing in no time. The quality is great and we're able to fit five four year olds in at one time. I did a lot of shopping around, and this bouncer is by far the best in every way.

We got this for my daughters 4th bday and she loves it. We also have a 5 year old and a baby on the way. The bouncer is easy to put up and take down. The only con I have is the opening is small and the kids had a hard time getting in.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my 2yr old daughter. She loved it!! Her and my 4yr old play for literally hours. They even take stuffed animals inside for a little extra fun. It has fit up to 4 kids comfortably (all under 4yr old). I have several step2 products and they never let me down. Bottom line... money well spent!

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

My grandsons love this and I get into it with one of them at a time. They are more active in it than I am, but we have a great time - they run, jump, bounce, do just about everything in it. We use it outside and everyone driving by has fun watching us. We put a large tarp down on the ground before we inflate it, and have room to have a chair and room to take our shoes off and on to get in and out. It is terrific the way it inflates so quickly, and if we go inside for a little while we turn off the fan, because it inflates up again so quickly when we come back out. I wish you would enclose a LARGER duffle bag to store it in - we tried for 1 hour rolling and rerolling it for the first time and finally ended up storing it in a black plastic garbage bag.

Am in love with the simplicity. If you have a big enough house, this could easily fit inside a medium sized room for indoor play.

Is great if you live in mosquito infested country like I do. Keeps the bugs out.

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

We use this product at least 4 nights a week. As soon as we get home from work my daughter wants to jump. The best part is once she is in jumping around I really don't have to worry about her falling out because it is covered and the entrance and exit velcro shut. I would recommend this product for anyone who has small children.

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

We set this bouncer up in our basement for wintertime fun. I may put it outside when the weather warms up, esp. for big play dates or birthday parties. We have an almost 6 year old, 3.5 year old and 1.5 year old and they all enjoy it. It is spacious enough for a number of kids at once. We spend alot of time outdoors in the spring/summer/fall so the New England winters are tough on all of us. This bouncer was Christmas money well spent.

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

I bough this as a joint present for my 3 kids. Their ages are 4-1/2, 2-1/2 and almost 11 months. They all adore it. I have had it set up on our deck, and also in teh front room of our house. It's nice looking and neutral. It is easy to set up and fills up super quick. it stays inflated very well. My cons are its not "rubbery" enough.... if you go to jump places or rent a jump house they are made a bit different and they have more "springiness". Also, while it deflates easy, its not the easiest thing to store. Step2 provides a bag but it BARELY fits in it and that is just for the structure, not for Th motor that goes with it. All-in-all, a great product I am very happy with!

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

This was a gift from Santa for both of our kids, ages 3 1/2 and 15 months. While the younger one can't quite bounce, he has fun crawling and rolling while his big sister bounces and both have enough room to play. The opening is a bit hard to get kids in and out of, but I contribute that to another safety standard, it shouldn't be too easy to open. We put down a tarp and inflated this bouncer inside our caged-in patio, using 4 chairs with adults sitting in them as the "stakes" and let our 3 1/2 yr old and her friend who is the same age get in and go wild and they loved it! The blower motor is a lot quieter than I expected too, so the neighbors don't get disturbed by it. We will use this for a long time and when we need a bigger one, will not hesitate to order from Step2 again.

This product is great for keeping at least 2 small children occupied. A larger/less difficult opening would be better. Some plastic balls add to the fun.

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

Purchased this for my grandaughter's first birthday - it was a big hit with all. Since it was raining, we inflated the unit on 2 large quilted pads under our port-a-cache. We were worried it might "tip" over since we did not use the tie-downs, so we only allowed 2 children at a time. It never rocked or got close to tipping over at any time. Wonderful product, very sturdy and well built. We will get a lot of use out of this purchase.

I'm glad I chose this bouncer, it's great for the price I paid. The roof is the best part cuz they can throw balls inside and they don't fly out. My kids love this bouncer and I must admit, it's pretty durable.

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

I purchased the large container of balls which in no way covered the base of the bouncer but my 5 yr old grandson loves the amount. It leaves him enough room to bounce around and choose whether to land in the pile of balls or not.
He has spent HOURS bouncing and this by far and away is his most favorite toy. It is so easy to get up and running that I don't hesitate to set it up. The covered top protects him from too much sun. I would recommend this bouncer to EVERYONE with children.

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

I bought this for my almost 4 year old twins. We have seen "bouncies" at fairs and community affairs and have spent lots on tickets. When the toy arrived, it went into the backyard, I plugged in the fan and within minutes, the girls were jumping and laughing inside the bouncer. It was well worth the money and we have had hours of fun in it. The only negative is trying to get the bouncer back into the duffel bag-it is like folding a map that refused to go back in the glove compartment.

Comments about Step2 Play Shade Bouncer:

Love it!! Only con is that description didn't say outdoor use only but directions do. Needs to be staked down or it moves when in use. Duffel bag to store bouncer in is too small, so I put bouncer in original box when not in use. Kids are having a blast with this and it is so easy to set up and disassemble!
