This toy has not held air from the first day. I have to blow it up every time my kids want to jump on it. I say save your money and just buy a trampoline.

I bought a jump-o-lene to keep at our house when our 2-year-old grandson comes to visit. Two was a little too young, but now that he's closer to three he loves it, and wants to use it several times whenever he's here. It's bigger than I thought, and takes up a lot of space in our downstairs family room. We have to stand it up on one end or roll it into another room when it's not in use because we don't have enough room to leave it, and I don't want to deflate and inflate it all the time. We haven't had any trouble with punctures, but we don't allow toys or hard objects to be used in it. I would love to be able to have it outside in the summer, but again, it's a storage problem if left inflated. Overall though, I would recommend it. Great physical exercise; great fun!

I bought this jumpolene for my three year old granddaughter. We,ve not had it long enough to put it to the test. She seems to really enjoy it.
When it gets a little warmer here in TN, I'm sure she'll put it to good use. It's made very well, inflates easily, is big and much safer than a
trampolene would ever be. I also bought the pump to inflate it. I'm
very pleased with my purchase.

We purchased this for our 18 month old twins and found that our 4 year old loves it too. It is the perfect size for indoors and provides lots of exercise for our three active children. It was much bigger than I pictured... what a perk. The high sides make it perfect for the girls when they fall... no bumps and bruises. We have considered adding a few balls but they seem to love it the way it is!!!!

The toy has a great fun factor, the kids loved to play in it every day - for about 4-5 weeks then it broke! The outer ring chambers are still fine but chambers in the bouncing middlepart broke and now there is one big hump and toy is very unsafe to use!
Although the cost of the toy is very low,I am disappointed about the very short durability of the toy.
If you want to buy it, be aware that you can only use it for a few weeks.

We got the jump-o-lene for my kids (4 and 2) for Christmas. They love it! Adult supervision is a must because my kids learned very quickly that it would alot more fun to pull a chair up to the side and flip in, but overall they have had a blast. This is a great product for kids living in a cold winter climate. My son needs to burn off energy and since we can't go out and run around in the yard, this is a great way to wear him out...Highy recommend!

Yes - I have had this up for 2 whole days and the top rings already have holes in them...somewhere. But you know what? My 3 y.o. daughter doesn't care. She uses it for playing in with her dolls, for reading books, for running around...I just pump it back up each time she wants to play (a total of maybe a minute for all 3 rings). Not sure how it got holes in it, but we do have a cat so who knows if she decided to climb in it...that is certainly not the products fault. If you want to buy balls for it, we bought 200 (at the store so they wouldn't come crushed already) and it doesn't even completely cover the bottom, so buy more! It is what you pay for, though make sure you are aware of the shipping charges...it pretty much doubles the cost you pay.

I purchased this jump-o-lene for my daughter's 2nd birthday last month, and it is a blast. We have had children up to 7 years old jumping around and having fun without any problems. We love this toy, and would definately recommend it to others. Although we have only had it for a month, it has been jumped in, on, and out of daily, and has held up well.

If you're planning on using this for a 'ball pit' it'll take about 800 x 3 1/2" balls to fill this thing above the interior blue section (that's about 1/3 the total volume, btw).

At least one section of this thing will not stay inflated more than one day without needing extra air (I'm on my 2nd exchange unit for this very reason).

When it says "not to be used unsupervised" in 5 different languages, THEY MEAN IT.

Do not let your children use this thing unsupervised.

It's actually pretty good, don't expect it to last if you use it outside. On a carpeted floor, no shoes - socks only, this thing might last a while...

My sister & her husband are VERY happy with the Jump O Lene I gave their kid for his birthday. My nephews, 4yrs, 2.5yrs & 10mo's were so curious as I set up the bouncer. And the older 2 immediately started bouncing away for at least 45 minutes. The baby is starting to crawl around in it & I'm sure he'll jump off some of his energy as soon as he is able. The bouncer is not incredibly "bouncey", but that may be a safety precaution. I was expecting more of a trampoline bounce, but the boys totally enjoy the level of bouncing they have available. The bouncer takes up a lot of space, so be sure to measure your area before buying & setting it up. They've only been using it inside, since it's cold out, but they may try it outside in the summer. The material is quite thick & seems to be very durable. The boys have been using it for 3 months so far, and no holes or punctures yet. I think this item is very well worth the money spent, and there have been no safety issues so far. So cute to watch them jump too!

This was the best Christmas present for our four grandchildren, aged 6, 3, 2, and 1.5 years old . It filled our living room but kept them all happy and engaged for hours and it was hilarious watching the different "dive" styles. The 3 yr old managed to bite a hole in the top ring but it's still fun.

My husband & I recently bought this toy for our 2 year old son. He absolutely adores it. Its funny watching him wear his little heart out, straight into nap time.
My only complaint is the fact that the toy does not come with an air pump,..nor is it advertised that you have to blow it up yourself. We were quite shocked to pull out this huge flat plastic ring with no pump.
Also the thing seems to be deflating little by little each day,..so all of our "air efforts" literally seem to be leaking.
But other than the minor problems, I'm sure that both my son & I can say were satified.

Bought this for my 20 month old grandson, who loves to jump and bounce on anything in sight; however, he had some difficulty getting in/out (which we overcame in a short time), BUT my main problem with this item is that it has a space between the bottom (jumping area) and the sides. My Grandson has gotten his foot caught in this space on several occasions...NOT A GOOD THING FOR SMALL ANKLES. On the POSITIVE side...even left out in the direct sun, this "bouncer" does not seem to get hot.

If you plug up the minor holes in this jumpolene and then fill it with water--you've got yourself a make-shift hottub with nice high sides. I recommend adding a bathtub massager mat at the bottom to stimulate bubbles, add hot water, and you are set, bro! Everyone will want to play in your jumpoline.

I bought this item for my daughter (who is a 34 pound 3 year old) in October. The first day we bought it, we inflated it and she jumped around in it for hours. The following day, the center deflated. And it's been like that daily ever since.

This has not even seen outdoor use; it's been in our playroom for the entire time we've owned it and the only thing that goes inside is my daughter. There is no reason for this thing to leak - I could understand if it had contact with sharp objects of any kind, but it hasn't. It deflates every single day, and we have to find and patch holes, then re-inflate it. It's a pain in the butt.

I give it 2 stars because my daughter loves it when it's working, but I'm sorry we bought it for her. The toy should be more durable than this. Save your money and find something that doesn't leak.

We were very excited when the box arrived from the UPS man and I was not sure how ready I was to start the pumping process. I decided to wait while my kids were at school and I had to rearrange my living room since this is where the Intex Jump-O-Lene was going to stay. The process actually took a couple of days since my kids liked playing around in it before I had it fully inflated.

There are three air chambers on the yellow side that are not numbered. The bottom has one close to the middle that is labeled 3. Located on the other side are numbers 1 and 2. Number 2 should be inflated only 2/3 of the way. This section is the teal green color. I was so enthusiastic at first that I started with the side ones and when I got to the bottom saw the number 3 and realized I had to pick the whole thing up. It was time to deflate and take a break. The deflating process did not take that long and I had to turn it all over and work from number 1. When you get to chamber number 3 you will feel the difference underneath you by the firmness of numbers 1 and 2. I found it easier to step inside with the pump to get number 3 inflated but was outside the structure for the other chambers. It is a bit awkward to get the last one pumped. So by the time my kids were home from school I did not have the side three chambers filled. They could not wait to pounce on this thing.

There are a few variations and levels to the Intex Jump-O-Lene. Once the side sections are inflated it is used as a built-in ledge for resting during play. Before the sides were inflated my youngest son liked to lean up against the sides and have me move the balls around him inside there for some physical play. Any occupational therapist will tell you this is perfectly suited for autistic kids and those with sensory issues.

My seven-year old assisted me with the pumping duties and we had the Intex Jump-O-Lene to the full size that same evening. The first few months due to over excitement the bottom number 3 chamber would open up. This is located right where my son plays and he would do this accidentally. Now we use caution around that nozzle. The 1 and 2 chambers are what make the bouncy part when they are inflated, as they are separate bouncing cushions. My sons can play ball back and forth on opposite sides of the Intex Jump-O-Lene.

There is a weight limit at 120 pounds with two kids being the maximum allowed at one time inside the Intex Jump-O-Lene. The recommended age group is from three to seven. This is made of super-tough vinyl with no rips or tears thus far. The shipping weight is twenty-one pounds and the price to ship this was almost twenty dollars. Take into consideration acquiring a pump and balls to go with this. I have several pictures of both my children on a Kodak CD inside this if anyone wants to see what it looks like indoors. Since there is no shade in front of our house, dogs and cats around the neighborhood, having this inside is more suitable for our needs. My kids have their own playground here with a deluxe aerobic trampoline positioned near the Intex Jump-O-Lene for jumping into the bouncing toy. One of then can be on the trampoline while the other is competing in the Intex Jump-O-Lene. My son was thrilled to show a friend how to jump in there, but it was too difficult for this other boy to coordinate doing.

This Intex Jump-O-Lene is huge, measuring 82" in diameter and 28 inches high when inflated. This is also perfect for when my son needs to calm down and can rest inside for a few minutes when he comes home from school. Recently we had a floortime assessment for my six-year old and the therapists mentioned they had both items at their office for patients to utilize in sessions. Even when the sides have deflated and I am too lazy to pump all three chambers, it is still a feasible place to sit among the toys. This provides proprioceptive and vestibular input for my sons and lets them let off some steam at the same time.

For outdoor use I would think if you had a screened in porch or garage area for play this might work, otherwise a large living room, spare bedroom or basement would work out well. Our living space is designed to meet the needs of both my autistic sons with areas separated for reading, working, relaxing and jumping around. I have not deflated the whole thing yet, but if we move next month it will be very easy to deflate and pack back into the box, at least that is what I hope to accomplish.

There are some precautions to take note when considering purchasing the Intex Jump-O-Lene. This should not be placed near stairwells, swimming pools, sharp objects or balconies and not to be placed on concrete. Since we use it indoors shoes are never worn while playing inside or bouncing. The box shows the kids barefoot using this so I would imagine if placing this outdoors that the shoes would be removed beforehand. The kids even have their jeans rolled up so that they would not trip over long bottoms. This is not for use in or around water or snow and not to be used as a bed or between a wall.

The warnings are printed on the bottom level of the structure in fifteen languages. This is only one paragraph. The Intex Jump-O-Lene is made in China. Adult supervision is suggested and the rules should be followed so that there are no broken bones or injuries to the children. It would appear that this could fit up to four hundred balls, by my estimation.

At times the noise is a bit too much when my kids go in there and jump into the balls or just move around inside, but they are having fun and that is what matters most.

Our two year LOVES this toy - and she and I are both tough critics. She uses it daily (it does take up our entire previously empty dining room). Its great for her to get excess energy out without injury risks. She has done some crazy things in there and never got hurt. Its huge, her two cousins go in with her no problem. And its the toy all her friends run to when they come over. We have no complaints, its held air well and the "seat" inside does its job. We have had it three months and its held up great thus far. If you have the space, get this toy.

I purchased the jump-o-lene for my son's 2nd birthday party. The kids all had a great time. The jump-o-lene was bigger than I thought it would be, which was a good thing.

We bought a few boxes of 100 balls and put them in so we have a
ball pit for the kids to play in. Works really well with the
soft bouncy under part. The walls hold balls in reasonably well,
though plenty of balls are kicked or thrown out.

Wish this had an inflated frame tent that could go over it to keep balls from getting thrown out.

I have to say that I am surprised at some of the reviews. I bought this after we went to a family reunion where my aunt had a jumpolene she kept permently inflated and stored in her garage. She has had it for a year or so and never had any problems holding air in it. I have three boys who are under the age of four so it has taken its share of beatings and yet to have any problems with it. Our oldest son is autistic and loves to jump so this has been great for him. As for problems in other reviews of it retaining rain water, easy solution don't leave it in the rain. And problems with small leaks after six months and a years time, give me a break, if it only lasted one month I would consider it worth the money!

Kids love this type of toy. It is one of the most sought after activities in my house. However, it didn't even take one day after filing up the jump-o-lene, that it started to deflate. I definitely am not getting my moneys worth!

I have the "castle" version of the Jumpolene. It too popped the bottom chamber after about 6 months. I have to blow it up again every day. But, it lasts about 5-6 hours and only takes 30 seconds or so to inflate with an electric pump...so not the end of the world.

The chamber you bounce on popped the other day. I can inflate it again, but it only lasts about 30 minutes.

I ordered one last year and zone 4 and 6 didn't hold air. I had no problem returning the product but this review is for the actual product. I ordered one again in November and zones 2,5 didn't hold air. Very poor product in regards to quality control.

Our toddler loves to jump in it, her friends love to jump in it, our neighbors love to jump in it, but we have discovered that there is a leak in the floor. The floor is made up of two chambers and there is a leak in the top one. Of course the leak is on the bottom side of the chamber and is not serviceable, so I have to fill it back up each time we use it.

Other than that, the jump-o-lene has been a fan favorite at birthday parties and is now living it up in the basement as part of the "play room"

My daughter received this for Christmas when she was 3. Although she did love it and play w/ it for awhile, there really isn't as much bounce in it as a bouncy house would have. Also it is very large. It took up our entire living room. Then we moved it into her room and it overtook her room. It didn't seem sturdy enough to leave outside. Eventually it became a big toy collection area. I would say if you had a very large playroom then it would work well because of it's size. It's just too much.

We bought this toy for my 2.5 yr old about a month ago. He has sensory integration dysfunction and the jumping helps him to get the vestibular input he needs (rather than jumping on the couch, bed, etc).

He has uses it nearly every day so the we have already gotten our (...) worth. There are some parents who complain about leaking - we've not had that problem at all. Now, keep in mind that my son is only 26lbs and he is the only one jumping in it. That could be a factor. Also, it says it could be used for outdoor purposes but I don't think it's sturdy enough for that. The 'inner rim' that kids can sit on - I think this is a misleading statement by the manufacturer. My son is small for his age and his tiny butt can't fit on the rim!

I have bought other Intex products (pools) and this one has been the sturdiest so far. I've only re-inflated it once since we bought it.

Also - for those of you thinking of adding plastic balls to make it a ball pit: this can be expensive. We already had 400 balls and when we put them in the jump-o-lene, it scarcly covered the bottom. I had my in-laws bring over their 200 balls and that helped to cover the bottom, but it didn't create the depth that you will find in ball pits at ChuckECheese's. So, if you want to use it as a ball pit (we are) you'll need 800-1,000 balls. That sounds like a lot, but we have 600 balls in there and it sure doesn't look like it!

Overall, terrific product and well worth the money!

I purchased this for my daughter last Christmas. (20 months) She had a blast. She and her cousin (4 years) would bounce around, flip, and pillow fight in it. It was also comfortable for an adult to lie in while watching TV. It lasted for almost a year until my older kids (16 and 18 years old) decided to get in and pop it by bouncing around.
Replaced it immediately. It is easy to move around, easy to blow up, and works great inside and out.

We bought this jump-o-lene about a year ago for my 4 year old son. It was great for awhile until there were 2 and sometimes 3 little ones inside (none above 4 years old). It got 2 holes in it right away and trying to find them was impossible. Soooo... being we were moving soon, I threw it out and purchased a new one for the new house. (I know... a lot of money to throw out the window). When we moved to our new house, we made the HUGE mistake of putting it outside and, eventhough I made certain only 2 little ones were in it at the same time, it still got a hole in it. This time, we patched it, though. Then a few days later, it rained and it was all over. It filled with water (probably through the covered hole, somehow) and we couldn't get the water out, so we had to throw that one out as well. (...) My recommendation - it's a fun toy as long as you keep in inside and make sure only 2 small children are in it at once. Maybe then you'll have a fair chance of keeping it longer than 2 weeks! I wouldn't purchase it again, though.

I bought this thinking it was a great alternative to a regular trampoline. I kept it outside, covered, but that didn't stop bugs from making homes in it everyday. They would go in the crevice between the floor and sides. It didn't matter much because my daughter didn't enjoy it at all, there was hardly any bounce to it no matter how much or how little air I put in it. It went in the garbage.

We thought this would be a great alternative to getting an outdoor trampoline, since it would be safer. And we thought our kids would love it since they often want to jump on the bed. But this product is not as bouncy as it appears. My kids mainly arranged their stuffed animals in it and laid in it with them. After a few weeks it began to deflate. We patched it at the seam, but it still gradually loses air. It's been a disappointment and has been discarded.

My kids received this as a gift when they were 4 & 2. They absolutly loved it. We set it up in the living room for a while and they jumped in it for a week. WE had 4 kids at a time bouncing around in it. When the weather was warmer we used it outside. We kept it upside down when not using it, so it wouldn't collect water. after 1yr the bottom chamber had a leak, kids still jumped in it, we also put it in the pool and used it at as a big float. All the kids loved it but after 2.5 years it was completely worn out. will probably get a new one.

My 2 year old loved this toy for the two months that it lasted. After limited indoor only use it started coming apart at the seams. Two 1/2 inch holes appeared in the floor seam and no amount or type of patching has improved the situation.

We bought this for our 2 sons, ages 2 and 4, and it was a huge hit with all of us at first! It's pretty durable and keeps the kids safe, supervised, of course! But it's not easy to inflate or deflate, so we left it outside for a while, and after it rained a couple of times the bottom filled with water, and there is absolutely NO way to get it out! We thought there should be a plug for this reason, and with the water in there the unit expanded, pushing the floor up far enough that we couldn't let the kids use it safely. We used it until we had to get rid of it by cutting it up. I guess if you're going to use it indoors, or take it down EVERY time you use it outdoors, it's a great investment, the price is great for what you get! But if you leave it outside don't plan on using it for very long.

The first day I brought this to my 2 yr. old grand-daughter and 1 yr. old grandson....they LOVED it!! HOWEVER, it does not hold air. We bought an electric pump which was smart...but we have to top it EVERY day...I wish I would've read the customer reviews before I bought two!

I wanted to get something that my 3 year old could jump around in so I bought this on sale for $30. I am glad I didn't spend anymore than that because it only lasted about a week. Once inflated it was too large for inside so we used it outside. It's not something you can deflate when not in use easily so we left it outside, which was fine till it rained. Water got inside the seams and we couldn't get it out so it was wrecked. I also thought it was smaller than I anticipated. No more than 2, 3yr olds could fit in it. Unless you risk injury.
