Can one really bounce on this? We have a Rave model and there is no bounce at all--it's really just a sunbathing platform.

Yes, you can bounce on this. It does wiggle a bit due to being on the water but still can jump as a trampoline, great for kids and adults!

The bounce is minimal, still lots of fun. But it's not like a land trampoline.

Yes, you can bounce on this. All our kids (as well as neighbor kids) bounce, jump off and climb back on easily. It has given our kids hours of fun.

Yes its is much better than the Rave in every way we have 4 boats and have 5 Rave trampolines as well. Don't expect to bounce really high its better than the Rave for sure.

Hi! They have some bounce; we've never had a customer issue with insufficient bounce in nine years of selling this product. Bear in mind that a Water Bouncer will never have the bounce of a Water Trampoline, which uses metal springs as well. That's why the Trampolines cost more. Water Bouncers are decent intermediate-bounce products, and still a lot of fun! Thanks for asking.

The 13' Bouncer has some bounce to it. If you are looking for a floating trampoline that has big bounce, check out the Island Hopper 15' Classic water trampoline. Here is a great comparison video to explain the differences between bouncers and water trampolines. http://watertrampolines.com/comparem.asp

Yeah, pretty much the same. Very little bounce. Good for sun bathing and "king of the hill" battles with the kids. How this helped.

Hi it's definitely durable for bounce, but it might not have the depth in it that your looking for.

No bouncing, but it is super adjustable and easy to clean. It will hold a baby as soon as the head is strong enough. My granddaughter loves it. I got it for her when she was only two months old and now at nine months she still loves it. Buying some additional springs to add it could be a bouncer as well.

No, this isn't commercial grade. I have this and have used it for birthday parties, but my kids are both under three. So, the kids we have had bounce on it have all been under 6 years old at the parties. This isn't for adults, where the commercial grade can have adults on it.

This rocker is a good replacement for a bouncer. I am not sure about swing. Due to space constraint I did not look for a swing and I dont miss it.

I'd go with a different model by bounceland. Jungle or Royal palace. Much safer and sturdier. Put a tarp under it to keep from ripping.

Hello, I had the same question and found this answer on the page for the Bouncer Balance, hope it helps:

I have it in my basement. My three kids (age 2, 5, and 7) can all bounce without hitting ceiling. It is not a high ceiling (standard ceiling height). It is awesome because we live in AK and my kids get on it everyday. My 7 yr old will probably be too tall to bounce in house next year.

The weight limit for the bouncer is 20lbs, I believe. So you have a little more time. You can also add/hang different toys to the bar for a change of interest.

Yes, it bounces but with some effort. I bought it to exercise my hands & feet.

It has a max weight limit of 30 lbs, and I would say a tad smaller than a bouncer, probably should not invest in this.

It sounds to me that your baby may have grown out of bouncers. I'm quite sure that you'll not find any bouncers with a 35 lb weight limit. Good luck.

We were thinking the same thing. Our son is 8, and can hop on it but not really bounce. We just got it for Christmas so we were thinking the same thing, that maybe if just needs to be broken in, that its new and tight. Plus he's at the bottom of the weight capacity, I wanted him to be able to use it for a while.

the swings does not bounce, it is a swing only. The only reason I would say it can be used for small infants is because it is so well designed that definitely will not fall. However, my son did not love it when he was small.

yes it bounces well. I wish it rocked back and forth easier than it does. My boys are only 19 months old, got it for Christmas 2 months ago and they have been able to move themselves on it since then. Definitely getting better and better as they get bigger.

No it will not bounce, it is great for an indoor basketball hoop, either over the door or wall. I got this for my grandson who is 8, along with the indoor hoop and he loves it!

depending on how many kids you have and how aggressive they are with their bouncing you may not need anything. I know when we first set ours up outside we did not anchor it to the ground at all (although it is recommended) after a couple hours of bouncing we noticed it started to shift from the original position, but that was after the bigger kids got in on it, when it was just he littles (5 and under) they didn't seem to effect the position of the bounce house at all. If your kiddos are small and there are only a couple you could probably get away with no sandbags, if they are older, bigger and more aggressive then you will definitely need something to anchor it down. depending on how many kids you have and how aggressive they are with their bouncing you may not need anything.
