Summer is fast approaching, and there’s no better time then to shop early this year to avoid missing out on sought after children’s toys.
Here are some advantages for shopping early:
- Non-inflated prices
- Plenty of inventory
- In time for holiday gifting
For the parents that are looking to get the perfect gift for kids, here are our tips on shopping inflatables for the summer.
- Choosing the right size
- Choosing the style of inflatable
- Maintaining your inflatable
To maintain the longevity of your inflatable, there are a couple of things that will ensure it lasts.
Bounce Houses
We recommend placing a large tarp or similar material underneath the bounce house if the ground is rough, as sticks, stones and other debris may puncture the floor while in use. If you are inflating over a grassy area, then there is no need to place a tarp underneath.
Once you are ready to deflate, make sure to clean any dirt or debris off the bounce house before packing away in the carry bag that is provided.
Water Slides
Place tarp or similar material underneath the water slide if you are inflating on a non-grassy area to avoid any punctures.
Prior to deflating, empty all the water out from the pool area and detach the water hose. Run the blower for about an hour with the water slide placed in a sunny area. This helps get all the water out from the seams and avoids mold and mildew from forming. Once the water slide is completely dry, wipe down any dirt or debris before packing away in the carry bag that is provided.
