Party rentals like bounce houses can take your event to the next level, but only if you know how to keep everyone safe. Like most activities, using bounce houses carries its own list of risks, which is why parents should understand how to protect kids before they climb into that inflatable Monster Truck, TREX or Princess Carriage.  Here are three ways to keep kids safe in bounce houses.

Prepare Them Properly

Things like spare change, eyeglasses, and toys can act as miniature projectiles inside of a bounce house, so always prepare kids properly before letting them play. In addition to emptying their pockets and having them remove their shoes, take off their glasses and ask them to leave their toys outside. In addition to protecting the other kids in the play place, it might also help you to avoid searching for lost objects later.

Limit the Number of Kids 

The more children you pack into that bounce house, the more likely they will be to run into each other, which can cause all kinds of injuries. To stay on the safe side, match the number of kids that can play inside of the party rental to the weight limit set by the manufacturer.  This will be displayed on the entrance to the inflatable.  If you know that you will have lots of children at your event waiting for a turn, consider renting additional bounce houses to give more kids the chance to play.

Supervise Play

The most effective way to keep children from being injured on party rentals like bounce houses is by supervising their play carefully. Watch out for kids that might be playing too rough or damaging the house itself. You should also watch for children that might be scared or injured so you can help them right away.
