Fort All Sport 7-in-1 Kids Inflatable Bounce House – Climbing Wall, Slide, Soccer Goal, Basketball Hoop & More – Outdoor & Indoor Bounce House with Durable PVC & Fast Setup

First, I wanted to mention that this is great for younger/lighter kids. It is NOT a commercial bounce house. It has a smaller height. As an adult, I can jump in a commercial bounce house. I cannot jump in this. Max weight is 100 lbs per person- if an adult stands in this, it will sink to ground. We will lay in there with the baby sometimes so he can play while having an adult to protect him from older brothers. But I am very, very careful about it.We bought this for the kids' birthday parties instead of renting. I'm HOPING it works out okay for the next few years. My sons are 1, 5, and 7 this Fall. My one concern is that the 100 lb limit might be difficult when I don't know the weight of kids attending the party. I don't want anyone getting hurt, but I'm not sure I have a good eyeball for what 100 lbs looks like. And I don't want to be the person that tells a kid they're too heavy to play. My kids are still young enough that I don't THINK that will be an issue, but I saw a couple reviews that I thought might have minimized the weight limit a bit. It WILL NOT SUPPORT higher weights. Listen to the manufacturer. And DON'T put this on a hard surface like concrete or pavement. Someone will get hurt.Now that I've mentioned THAT issue, I am still giving this 5 stars. It's exactly what it says it is and the weight limits are in the info for the bounce house. The kids LOVE it. The climbing wall is cool, but not really super challenging... the kids can pretty much jump to the second level.It takes 1:35 min to blow up... I timed it. It's SUPER quick. I recommend buying a big tarp to go under it- ours isn't quite big enough but I plan to buy one eventually. I want to keep this from getting wet at ALL because I don't want to have issues with mold or such.It has pretty much everything you'll need with this- including stakes and some balls to play basketball. My kids love to jump off the second level to dunk the balls. Sigh. I don't leave them alone to play in this because they don't know how to act.... unlike a commercial bounce house, my 7 year old can push the sides down if he jumps onto them.I ran to a big name store that starts with a T to get a big bin that has wheels. This allows me to pull it around to the spot, then set it up. I'm 5'6" female and in fairly good shape, but it's heavy. I am able to roll the bin around easily, but pulling it out takes a lot of work. I roll it RIGHT to the tarp, then I don't have to lift it far. After that, it's easy to just flatten it out before staking it down and adding the blower. My husband has always been home to pack it up so I'm not sure how hard it'd be for me to pack up.We keep the lid to the bin off. I have heard to make sure whatever you store it in has room for it to breath... probably to make sure no moisture builds up. We may drill holes in the bin for winter storage but right now we're taking it out every couple of days. Like other reviewers said, you can't easily fit it into the bag... I'm sure it's possible, but if you have kids then you probably don't have time or energy to figure it out. Getting the air out completely to store it is quite the task.Unlike a trampoline which would sit above the grass, this will kill your grass if you keep it out on the grass too long. We move the location a bit each time we set it up and take it down after every use.The soccer area doesn't make a lot of sense and I don't think the kids have ever used it. It's sort of hidden on the other side of the bounce house.Overall, this is a great bounce house and lots of fun for the kids. It's affordable if you consider the price for renting a commercial bounce house. But it is NOT a commercial bounce house so don't expect to be able to do the same things with it. When we have the kids' birthday party, we'll have an adult near it to supervise because I don't trust kids not to treat it like a commercial bounce house and I don't want anyone getting hurt. I think my two younger sons will get a lot of use out of this so it was worth the money... I love having an outdoor activity that keeps them moving.

This is the second bounce house our family has owned and we love it. Our first bounce house was the bounce land pop star bounce house which we also purchased on Amazon and loved. Unfortunately it poped about a year after we bought it (although I have no doubt it poped purely because It was used every day and took a beating from my kids and their friends and I'm actually suprised it lasted as long as it did). I debated buying the same one again but decided to buy the Island Hopper Fort All Sport bounce house b/c I liked the idea of my kids having a fort and bounce house in one. I initially regretted my decision b/c the bounce house Amazon shipped us must have been defective or something b/c it didn't hold air well and anytime I would get in it to jump with my kids (I only weigh 100 lbs so my weight shouldn't have been a problem) the floor of the bounce house would sink down to the ground and we couldn't bounce. Also the bounce house felt very unsafe b/c the side netting wouldn't even stop a two year old from falling to the ground due to the lack of air the bounce house was retaining . I received an email from Aqua Sports technology inquiring about my satisfaction with my purchase. I never complain and have never actually responded to one of these types of emails, however i decided to respond and share my dissatisfaction due to my kids disappointment in their new bounce house and b/c of the amount of money I spent on a product we were unable to use. I didn't think I would hear back from the company and simply sent a reply as a means to vent my unhappiness with the bounce house. Not only did I receive a reply via email but also a phone call from Eric Brown at Aqua Sprots Technology stating he wanted to do whatever it took to rectify the issue with the bounce house. He initially sent me a new blower (without me asking him to do so) to see if that would help. The new blower did not help so I emailed him to let him know that the new blower did nothing to help fix the issues we were having with the bounce house and also informed him that I had tried to return the bounce house via Amazon returns and discovered I had missed the 30 day return by ONE day, yes it was literally one day after the allotted 30 days and Amazon refused to allow me to return the idem despite it being defective upon arrival. Anyway to make a long story short, Eric said he would ship us a new bounce house (once again without me asking him to do so) b/c he wanted me to be a satisfied customer. This shocked me b/c rarely do you come across business owners/employees these days that care about their customers satisfaction. The new bounce house arrived the next day and worked perfectly and held air just like A bounce house should. It is fabulous and so much fun. My kids and I have bounced in it daily since we received it and we couldn't be happier with the bounce house. It has a really large bouncing area (big enough for me and my twin two year olds and my 4 year old to all bounce together). The kids love the "fort" aspect, the curved inside return slide, and the twist and tangle game. The price is higher than a lot of the bounce houses on Amazon but It is a terrific product for the price and I wouldn't hesitate to buy again, especially as a result of the amazing customer service and Eric Brown going above and beyond to rectify the issue with the initial bounce house we were sent.

A couple improvements would be: 1) include 2 times as many of the two size yellow plastic stakes - they don’t include enough of these and they tend to fail after a few uses. 2) the laminated plastic game for twister is super junky. A low grade print laminated and cut by hand with scissors. This should be a spinner like a prize board with a spinner with a pointer. Other than that this is fun, and nice for the money and our kids love it

My two boys (ages 6 & 8) LOVE this! It's also been a hit with the neighborhood kids who come over. It's sturdy, a great size for kids who are a little older (other bounce houses seem to cater to much younger kids), it blows up in a matter of minutes, and has a lot of neat extra features. This bounce house has a "fort" where kids can go to take a break and be shaded without having to leave. On one side of the fort there is a mesh pocket meant to hold the 2 basketballs (included) but the boys found it works well to hold water bottles! Another review mentioned they liked how the slide was contained in the bounce house (vs. emptying to the outside) so that kids weren't in and out of the bounce house, tracking in grass and dirt. As much as the kids go around and around this thing, I can't even imagine the mess that could have been had there been an exterior slide!Cons: It comes with PLASTIC stakes! I broke one with tbe first use. I have cheap Xmas inflatables 1/20th the size with sturdier metal stakes! The shear size of this calls for something stronger than plastic. The only other complaint is that the sleeve slides off the blower very easily. Unfortunately we've had it deflate with kids in it multiple times, as the bouncing can cause it to slowly inch off.Otherwise a great purchase!!
