which is more popular with kids - bouncy castle or trampoline?

[earlycomputers]

For kids between 2 and 8 what generally is popular with them - a bouncy castle or a trampoline? If a b.castle was larger would it get used more? thanks

we have a trampoline next door b castle kids are always in our garden as is takes 20 mins to set up castle and ages to put away

Bouncy castles are a pita as by the time it has inflated, the kids have lost interest. It goes muddy and skanky and ruins the lawn and you have to find somewhere to store the dripping heap. Then it gets a puncture. Then you put it in a skip. That's what happened to ours, anyway ;)

Bouncy castle...
We got dd a little tikes one last year for about £150 and she loves it..! Only had one chance on it this year so far but no doubt it will be used all summer like it was last year..

No smells, easy to put away, inflates in about 2 mins and you can put it up from start to finish in about 5 mins.

Lawn isn't ruined either....

Holds 3 lo's apparently yet I went on it last week with ds (14 months), dd (3) and me (29) .!!!

lol babster

Trampolines have a lot of staying power, and can be put away and up easily, so I'd go with one of those (if I had space).
