8 Safety Tips on Bounce House Rentals for New Users

 

Pin the tail on the donkey and musical chairs are two common games parents plan for their child's birthday party. You can arrange to play these games, too, if you're planning a party, but you can also offer other activities, such as a bounce house.You can find bounce house rentals in most areas, and renting one offers hours of fun for kids of all ages. If you're considering getting a bounce house, it's vital to design a system to keep the kids safe.

While bounce houses are fun, they can also cause injuries if you don't use them correctly. So, if you're planning on renting one, here are eight safety tips to follow to help prevent accidents and injuries to the children that attend the party.

1. Choose the Right Size or Number of Bounce House Rentals

As you're planning your child's birthday party, you'll need to create a list of the children that plan to attend. From this list, you'll know the number of kids that will be there, and you need to know this as you choose which bounce house to rent.

You might want to start by viewing your inflatable options, as this will help you see your options. You can decide if you want to rent one large one to accommodate all the children or several smaller ones. Either option is good.

Another thing you'll need to consider is the space for bounce houses on your property. Do you have room for one? If you want to get more than one, do you have room for multiple inflatables?

Having enough inflatable rentals to accommodate all the children is vital for safety purposes. Therefore, this is a good place to start.

As you look for the right ones, check their canopy rentals, too. Renting a canopy is a great idea for almost any outdoor party.

2. Know the Maximum Number of Kids It Can Hold at Once

After deciding which one to rent, you'll need to know the maximum number of kids it can hold at once. Knowing the number of kids it can accommodate is helpful for safety reasons.

When you know this, make sure you tell the children this information when they arrive at the party. You might want to have a short meeting when they all get there, and this could be one of the rules you explain.

The purpose of limiting the number of kids that bounce at once is strictly for safety purposes. If you let too many kids bounce at once, you'll increase the risks of injuries, and you might jeopardize the integrity of the bounce house.

3. Supervise It at All Times

The next safety tip to follow is to supervise the children at all times. You can do this yourself or ask a friend or relative to help. Keeping an eye on the kids in the bounce house at all times ensures that they are following rules and that they are safe.

4. Stop Use If the Weather Gets Bad

It might be wise to keep an eye on the weather during your party. Checking the weather often is essential, especially if there are storms on the radar.

If it gets too windy outside, it's not safe for the kids to stay in the bounce house. If you experience thunder and lightning, you also might want to have the kids sit out until the storm passes.

5. Make Sure the Kids Remove Their Shoes

When the kids arrive and you share the rules with them, make sure they know to remove their shoes before entering. Kids cannot wear shoes in inflatable rentals. Shoes can damage the inflatables and cause injuries to other kids.

Kids should also remove any items that could fall off or harm someone else while jumping. If they have jewelry on, they should remove it. If they have any other loose items that they can remove, they should also take those off.

6. Only Allow Kids of Similar Age and Size

Another good safety rule to use with a bounce house involves the kids you allow in the inflatable at once. The kids should be of similar age and size while using the blow-up houses.

If you have a small child jumping with an adult, the adult could land on the child, leaving them with injuries. Therefore, you must monitor who jumps at once and set limits on this aspect.

7. Remove Kids If They Are Not Following the Rules

It's also wise to stick with your rules. Making rules is vital, but enforcing them is even more important. If a child breaks the rules, it would help if you removed the child for a while.

You can explain why you aren't allowing them to use the bounce house at this time and explain the rules once again. You might even want to warn the children before they begin that you will remove their privileges if they break the rules.

If the kids know this before they start, they might be more inclined to follow the rules. If they follow the rules, everyone will stay safer at the party.

8. Install It Correctly

The last tip to follow for safety reasons is to make sure you install the bounce house correctly. Inflating bounce houses properly ensures the safety of those that use it. If you aren't sure how to do this correctly, ask the rental company.

They might set it up for you or offer tips to help you know how to do it yourself. When you install the bounce house correctly, you can reduce the risks of injuries or accidents to those that use the inflatable.

If you choose canopy rentals, too, make sure you read the instructions when installing it.

Plan the Best Party Ever by Renting a Bounce House
