Inflatable slide
Inflatable attractions of the slide are a soft slope, protected by safe sides against accidental loss of the baby during games. In autonomous slides, there is a so-called chipper installed at the end of the ramp, which does not allow the child to be injured if the acceleration is too strong when rolling.
The attraction is equipped with a compressor for pumping. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that pumping is required continuously, therefore, it is necessary to install a children's inflatable attraction in a place where it will be possible to connect a wire for the uninterrupted operation of the compressor.
Experts recommend purchasing and installing slides for children older than 3-5 years, because, unlike an inflatable trampoline, a steep ramp can simply scare the baby at the exit and forever turn him away from this type of game.
Inflatable trampoline
The word trampoline has long been firmly associated with a wandering circus, arena lights and virtuoso acrobats. The way it is. A trampoline, translated from Italian, is translated as a blow, and was used at one time exclusively for training athletes and honing circus skills. Now the trampoline inflatable attractions can be seen in the summer in all the busy squares, and the cheerful, reddened faces of the children say better than any words that they like this entertainment.
You can also install a trampoline on your own site, especially since even doctors say in a voice that jumping on a trampoline:
- Improve coordination of movement;
- Strengthen and develop the vestibular apparatus;
- Prevent problems with musculoskeletal systems;
- They allow the child to release all his irrepressible energy in a couple of tens of minutes due to active movement.
Unlike slides, trampolines are suitable even for young children who have barely learned to walk. You just need to choose an attraction that matches the age (this is stated in the instructions) and make sure that the trampoline is equipped with enclosing soft nets or sides.
What you need to know when buying an inflatable attraction
In order for the games in the fresh air not to end tragically, and none of the kids will be injured, you need to carefully study all the characteristics of the product and make sure that it is made of durable, high-quality materials.
The density of the material of which the trampoline / slide is made must be at least 650g / sq. m. If this indicator is less, then a spontaneous break is possible with too active exploitation (the horde of jumping children is active exploitation).
Appearance. Often, some flaws can be seen only when the attraction is already purchased, deployed and inflated. In expanded form, detachments of the upper layer of PVC (bubbles), as well as unreliable fastening of safety nets become visible.
Design features. When choosing, you should immediately take into account the height of the attraction and the length of the ramp. When buying high slides with a platform at the top, it is necessary to check the presence of bumps of SUFFICIENT height in order to prevent the loss of a too active jumping child. The length of the ramp must be checked in order to find out if the angle of inclination is too steep and if there is enough space at the exit for arbitrary braking. Otherwise, a rolling baby with acceleration will hit a soft chipper and this can lead to injuries.
Fasteners. Of course, when buying a trampoline or slide, you must immediately check the availability of a kit for fasteners.
How to choose a place and install an inflatable attraction
For installation of a hill or a trampoline any level platform is suitable. Moreover, it should be ensured that it does not have a slope, and the branches of the trees are located high enough above the heads of the jumping and jumping children.
The site is thoroughly cleaned of debris, branches and sharp stones. If necessary, leveled. An inflatable attraction, the price of which is quite low, is laid out on the ground around the perimeter of the site and an air supercharger (compressor) is connected to it. After the product is fully inflated, and you check the pressure level inside, you must close the valve and listen to see if it passes air. Lapping the valve should be tight, otherwise your baby will be on the ground in half an hour, getting confused in the deflated sides and slopes.
Next, you need to fix the base, even if it seems to you that the inflatable ride is reliable and stable. You will not believe how easily gusts of wind overturn all these structures. For fasteners, special rings and pins are provided at the bottom for deepening into the ground. Therefore, do not be lazy and drive them all, this will protect children from possible injuries.
Last tip. Well, your trampoline or slide is installed, and the joyful little one rushed to play, jump and run. But! You need to set the order between small children and older adults. The fact is that a springy platform can overturn one child onto another. All this, of course, is a lot of fun, but not when a twelve-year-old falls on top of a three-year-old baby. Therefore, try to distinguish between fun minutes and set the order.
