is this for children to play with or to stick on the ground?

I stuck mine in the ground in the garden, but they are totally suitable for children as well.

No, it is easy to play and my girls like to use it as an alternative to their baby grand sometimes. Only problem, is no foot pedals.

My grandchildren play with them on the cement in my back yard. Pavement doesn't work and I wouldn't want them going down hill on them. I think a flat surface outdoors is what they do.

My Grandson just leaves his on the play table they sell for the sand. Again I must say we bought this for him in Oct. And it still remains a favorite for him and all his playmates! Hope I helped you.

No, not commercial grade, but great for kids 1-10... Just had about 8 kids in it at a birthday party (5-10 years old), and it was great! My husband gets in to play with the kids, but he doesn't bounce.

I have a 7 yr old who plays on it with her 4 yr old sister and her feet are off the ground. If you need a little more info than that then I will go outside and measure if needed. They mostly use it to swivel around really fast. We LOVE it.

I wouldn't keep it up outside. It would be fun to put up for the day for them to play in. Not too difficult to put up and down. Easy to store.

Well for me, I say into the ground for stability and safety. Unless you can anchor it down other wise and it won't be there for a long time. If its a weekend thing, sure go ahead. For longer than that, I say anchor it down into the ground.

Both. This toy keeps children occupied for a long time. It is well worth the money

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.

I guess it depends on the child. We purchased it for a 2 yr. old and he went right for it and had no trouble playing with it.

If the kid's too young to be playing with the car on his/her own, you can always insert the floorboard and push the car around :) It's great until they can scoot themselves around when they're more coordinated.

My grandson uses it like play dough, making blocks for castles & houses. He also uses molds to make animals. It's been enough for him to play at his table indoors. The best part is that cleaning up is a snap since the sand sticks to itself. For my 5-year-old it's enough. The problems start when the grown-ups want to play too ;)

I have not had to stake it in the ground. The water weighs it down pretty well. It would be best to place this on grass because the kids do hit the ground as they come off of the slide so the grass is a softer landing. Concrete may hurt them. And the lagoon may get holes in it from rubbing on the concrete. So, I would only suggest grass.

I think it would be fine for kids with consideration to age/height. I wouldn't recommend letting young children use it without supervision, because kids could be big enough to knock it over and it could weigh over a couple hundred pounds when filled. The base is a little tall, so kicking might not be very easy for smaller children.

No, not really. More a sponge than foam with a skin to have any bounce to it.Suitable perhaps for toddler play as no harm can be done with it.

You could use it on a wood floor but remember this doesn't have a floor to it so if your kid falls they will be falling on the wood floor.
