Tips for keeping children cool in a bounce house on a hot day

With summer heat and humidity, comes the urge to have fun. The best way to beat the heat is by jumping on a bounce house. In fact, playing on a bounce house during hot days is probably one of the most exciting things that kids can do. But as much as we all love to see our little ones running around with excitement, it’s important to keep some precautions in mind when letting them enjoy their time on these giant inflatable toys. Playing on a bounce house on a hot day is not easy for anyone and there are many safety measures you need to keep in mind. Here are some helpful tips on how you can help your child play safely on a bounce house when it’s hot outside:

Check the Bounce House Before allowing the children inside

We thoroughly check the bounce house before allowing kids to play on it. We also ensure all the netting is secure and fixed properly, and that the bounce house is clean. The last thing you want is to have kids crawling around in a dirty inflatable. We also look at the electrical parts, and make sure they are free of dust and dirt. If they aren’t, we can use a damp cloth to wipe them clean.

Drink Plenty of Water

When playing on a bounce house, kids get really thirsty and often forget to drink water when they are having fun. Make sure your child keeps drinking water throughout their time in the bounce house. If you can, try to provide them with a water bottle so that they can easily take sips whenever they want. Kids love all the excitement and energy from playing on a bounce house but it can make them really hot. Playing in the heat can cause dehydration which can be very dangerous for young children. If you notice your child getting hot and thirsty, it’s time to get them out of the bounce house and let them sit in the shade for a while.

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen

This is especially important if you’re playing during the summer months. Make sure your child applies sunscreen regularly while playing on a bounce house. If you notice your child getting red, it’s time to apply more sunscreen or get them out of the bounce house. Kids love to play and enjoy the sun but their skin is still very sensitive and prone to sunburn. Make sure your child wears a hat while they are playing on a bounce house. Wear long sleeves and pants. This way, they’ll protect their skin from harmful UV rays and insects.

Know Where the Shade Is

Make sure you’re aware of where the shade is. If you’re hosting a party where your child will be playing on one of our inflatables, try to find a shaded area for the bounce house. It’s a good idea to shade the bounce house with a tent or a canopy. This way, the kids can play on the bounce house for longer and won’t be getting out of breath as quickly as they would in the sun. If you can’t find a shaded area, make sure you keep an eye on the time. The bounce house should be used for a maximum of 90 minutes. After that time, the kids need to come out and get some rest.

Don’t Overdress Your Child

Kids like to dress up for everything and that’s perfectly fine. But if your child is playing on a bounce house, it’s best to keep them dressed in lightweight clothes. Don’t overdress your child and make sure they’re comfortable. Playing on a bounce house can make your child really hot. It’s best to keep them in lightweight clothing so they don’t overheat. Oversized clothing might also pose a risk of getting caught in the inflatable. It’s also a good idea to remind the other children playing on the bounce house to dress lightly as well. They might enjoy playing on the bounce house more if they aren’t too hot and uncomfortable.

Do not allow children to bounce on their own

Keep a close eye on your child while they’re playing on the bounce house. Allow them to play with other kids but do not allow them to bounce on their own. Playing on an inflatable can get pretty exciting for kids and they might want to bounce higher and higher. If this happens, make sure you don’t allow them to do so. It’s best to keep a close eye on your child while they’re playing on the bounce house so that they don’t end up injuring themselves.
