Little Tikes Shady Jump-N-Slide Bouncer Review

Summary: Durable, basic bounce house with a large shade covering

Size: 12' x 9' x 7' H
Kids*: 3 (or 300 lbs total weight)
Features: Shade Canopy
Slide
Cost: $289.99

The Little Tikes Shady Jump-N-Slide Bouncer is a durable, basic inflatable with a small slide. What sets it apart from many others is that the top is completed enclosed, providing shade from the sun. On hot, sunny days, this could mean the difference between an uncomfortably hot bounce floor and one that's comfortable for many hours of play. To many parents, this alone is worth it. The height added by the arched roof is minimal so this inflatable will still fit in your home or garage for year-round play.

The bounce house has two velcro enclosures so kids can enter in the back and slide out the front.

*Approximate number of kids based on manufacturer's recommendation. Kids should be about 3-12 years old and under 100 lbs. each. As parents, we know that all kids vary in size, weight and energy-level, so use your best judgement.


What Others Are Saying

Here are some reviews from people like you who have purchased this bounce house.

This thing is the best!! ... It fits perfect in our garage for when it is too cold, icy, rainy or yucky to go outside. The kids have absolutely abused it. They have bounced in it, jumped all over the sides, even snuck toys and chalk in it. Never any damage. ... We had some bigger pre-teen kids in it and even they didn't cause any issues. My kids are ROUGH on their toys and this is the best thing ever. ... I have had zero issues with it after five months of constant use in the garage and in the backyard. It's a lot of money but was worth every penny!!" —6Poindexters

We crossed our fingers and toes hoping a home-bouncer would be as fun and durable as the professional bouncy houses we can never get our twin 2-yr-olds out of. The Little Tikes Shady Jump N Slide fills the bill, and then some. It's the hit of the neighborhood, as we often have lots of little ones over to jump jump jump! The more kids in there, the better! (I'm talking toddlers, not big kids.) It's also a godsend for us parents of multiples desperately looking for an activity that gives them a great work out, and us a rest! I have zero complaints about the product, which we've had up and running nearly every day (except when it's raining) since Thanksgiving. It's very well made and the material is heavy duty. I also highly recommend the shady bouncer as opposed to other models, because of it's roof. We live in So. California, where it's sunny most of the time, and the shade makes a big difference. The floor would get too hot if not for the top. This bouncer is easy to set up, and takes about a minute to inflate, so my kids aren't frustrated waiting for it. They actually really enjoy watching it come to life.

p.s. I love getting in there with my girls ... they love jumping on me, and it's a great place to play horsey!" —G. Goldsmith

We ordered two of the bouncers for our grandchildren. The whole family was very happy with this product. It is sturdy, easy to inflate and easy to deflate. It comes with a carry bag also. It is big enough that we had 6 children, 5 years and under in it at the same time. I also like that it has a canopy for shade. The kids love bouncing in it and then coming out down the little slide. An adult does need to stand by the back, though, as a child can bounce out the back side if they get too close to the edge. The back mesh doors are held together with velcro. Overall a very good product." —K. Watson

We purchased this because we were throwing a party for our two year old and it was cheaper to actually buy one than to rent one. I'm so glad we did. This was excellent in value and shipping was fast. Our little one was afraid to jump at the larger play places but after practicing at home, she's comfortable." —Debbie B.

This Jump 'N Slide bouncer is GREAT FUN for my little one! She was jumping up & down as soon as she saw it the first time, and loves to play on it. Of course, she somehow seems to enjoy it more when it is deflating, so she rushes back to jump in again...but then, she enjoys as it quickly inflates in 2 mins when the blower is turned on again! The bouncer is somewhat heavy to lug around, but the setup is quite fast & easy...can get the whole thing up & running in about 5 mins! Plus, this one has the shady roof and some additional height compared to the other model without the roof, so its great for play even in the sunny summer afternoons. Overall, my kid really enjoys it and I'm sure with its strong & tough material that she'll have plenty of jumpin' fun! " —Joseph
