Buy a bouncy castle for a two year old

Sorry not sure where to post this but looking at buying one of those mini bouncy castles for my DS 2nd birthday.

Will it get used or simply stuck in the shed?

We already have a trampoline but I'd happily get rid of that although DH seems to believe a trampoline would be used more than a bouncy castle.

Looking at one like this: www.amazon.co.uk/COSTWAY-Inflatable-Bouncer-Carrying-Children/dp/B09XCMKWYJ/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=Bouncy+Castles+for+Children&qid=1679393310&refinements=p_36%3A10000-17500&rnid=389075011&sr=8-20

A trampoline AND a bouncy castle for a 2 year old?!!!! Do you wish to spend her toddlerhood in A and E?!

Very good point however he is always supervised.

Looks like the bouncy castle will be a fad.

Any other suggestions on what to buy? I might just get a few little toys and put some money in his JISA. I hate buying for the sake of it.

We have both a trampoline and bouncy castle, kids were 5 and 2 when we got them. Bouncy castle has been used a grand total of 4 times in the 2 years that we've had it. Trampoline is used almost every day in the summer. Rent a bouncy castle for birthdays etc but don't waste money on buying one, in my opinion!

A trampoline will last a lot longer

DD got given one. I think it was used about 5 times.

The trampoline is still used regularly and they are 10&11 now!

If you’ve already got a trampoline that probably takes care of your 2 year old’s bouncing aids.
