The tubing is kind of a pain to set up well, and my soaking-wet kids don’t seem to care. The Bountech structure comes with tubing that you can attach to the inflatable water guns on the side, but I’ve used that only once or twice. It typically takes me about 10 minutes to fill ’er up. Like the Little Tikes bounce house, the Bountech structure takes just a couple of minutes to inflate. Then I fill the shallow pool with a few inches of water using my (Wirecutter pick) Dramm hose. There’s a climbing wall that leads to a slide that leads to a shallow pool of water festooned with inflated water guns and a basketball hoop. The Bountech inflatable-which appears under a few different brand names on Amazon-looks like a cheesy monstrosity. This inflatable, too, has been a godsend. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I said to my wife when we received the gift of a second giant inflatable. Not to be outdone, my brother (who seems to believe that love is best measured based on the physical size and outrageousness of gifts given) bought my kids this Bountech inflatable climbing wall and waterslide contraption. The Little Tikes inflatable house let them gigglingly bounce themselves to the brink of exhaustion. In the early days of the pandemic, my kids, then 4 and 2, were cooped up at home with no school, playgrounds, or friends for nearly three months.
The bounce house has proven to be a godsend. “This looks like a gigantic pain,” I thought. My wife and I reacted with a mix of incredulity and mild annoyance. My sister-in-law bought my kids our first bounce house-the Little Tikes Jump ’n Slide Bouncer-for Christmas in 2019.
