small bounce house types for the home

[malphy]

I have fibromyalgia and am in pain most of the time. Of course, I was then blessed with an extremely active child. She is a climber/jumper and can't sit still. She wants me to swing her around all the time but I just simply cannot do it. It is too painful for me to do all that often.

Is there a small version of a bounce house that can fit inside the house? I just think she would be happier if she could jump around in there . Any recommendations from irl experience w/these things?

tru has a6x6 one on sale for $80 but it did not get good reviews and has to be blown up by mouth??!!

How old is your daughter? I have an extremely active DS. He also loves to jump. When he was learning to walk and you held his hands he didn't walk, he just jumped!

We have this one in the basement: http://www.amazon.com/85-76-Jump-o-Lene-Castle-Bouncer/dp/B000096R6U and it's a good size for a little one. Not so much if they're a lot older though. This got decent reviews and doesn't have to be blown up by mouth.

We also have a mini trampoline that gets lots of use and I bought this:

He is on the autism spectrum, but again, he's VERY active and I thought it would be something fun for when it was too cold to go outside. I bought it last year though and haven't used it yet.

How big a bounce house can you use? My neighbor has the Little Tikes bounce n slide one and it has held up better than I anticipated it would. They use it outdoors and our friends DS who is 7 years old put his foot through the slide the 2nd or 3 rd time they used it but it was patched and is holding up fine now!

this is the one they have.. but she payed maybe $250 for it!

Here is one minus the slide... might work better for you as far as space is concerned

this one is even smaller

This one might be a good option for you... the sale price is good

We have the second one from Amazon, above...although paid about $145 for it last year. It's been great in our basement. Abby can flip the switch to turn it on, and it inflates in less than a minute.
