Sports reviews of Bounce 'Round Deluxe Castle

Customer Review: This is THE BEST toy!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Coolest. Toy. Ever. Hands down, this is the best toy a kid under 80 pounds or so can get. I gave this to my 5 year old niece last Christmas and she absolutely loved it. No other toy mattered that day. When she first opened it, she gave me a puzzled "That's it?" look. I think she thought it was some stupid little plastic play set. So I took her outside, hooked it up (It took me a minute to figure out the *on* switch for the fan) and then WOW!!! When it inflated, her eye's were so big they nearly popped out of her head. I had to help her into it, because she was a little intimidated by the size of it to start. Once inside the thing, she stood there for just a second wondering what to do. Standing outside the castle, I did a little hop myself and she got the idea immediately. After realizing just how awesome this toy was, she ran over to the neighbor's house to drag her friend over to see it (I had to buy my niece a powerwheels VW bug for her birthday last year because her friend wouldn't share her powerwheels jeep). It was really cold out and the ground was wet but that didn't matter to my niece. She would come in every 30 minutes or so, with her little nose and ears pink with cold, just to warm up. After a few minutes and a hot snack she'd feel sufficiently warm enough and it was back out to the castle. I was worried the little thing was going to die of pneumonia because of my present! Her friend was so jealous I could tell she was actively trying to tear the toy up somehow. No luck for her. It's a very durable toy. At the end of the day, the friend was green with envy and I had accomplished what I set out to do: be my niece's coolest, most favorite Uncle in the whole wide world AND give my niece a present better than anyone in her little world would get that Christmas. A year later and she is still playing with the thing. She talks about her favorite uncle all the time too :-) The only problem you'll have with this toy is trying to top it the next time around. I am UP THE CREEK this Christmas because I simply cannot find another toy this cool. This thing is the pinnacle of toys. It's huge. It's low tech fun. It doesn't have lots of rules/assembly/instructions. It's everything a little kid could want. Her gameboy advance did nothing but collect dust that day :-) Oh yeah, I give it 5 stars for educational value too, because it'll teach those selfish little neighbor kids the value of sharing ;-)

Description of Bounce 'Round Deluxe Castle

Why should big bouncy high-energy fun be reserved for carnivals and outdoor festivals? Now you can have the excitement of the bouncy castle often seen at those public venues in your own backyard. This castle set inflates with minimal effort once you hook it up to the heavy duty fan that is included. The packaging claims that the castle can be fully mounted in 45 seconds and in our informal test we did have pretty speedy results. Once its set up, kids up to 83 pounds are ready to get in and bounce (total weight should not exceed 250 pounds) in the yellow, red, and blue castle set. The entrance ramp and safety netting around the sides make for nice touches as does the convenient storage bag. --Charlie Williams
