Think about these six tips before renting a bounce house or other inflatable:

* Find A Bounce House Rental Company: When you have an idea about what type of bounce house you'd like to rent, it's time to do a little research to find a great local rental company. Look for a company that offers insurance and one that's bonded. If someone is not insured and bonded, you don't want to work with them.
* Think About Accessories For A Bounce House: Whenever you call for your bounce house rental, be sure you ask what accessories are included in the rental agreement. Some companies will charge extra for the blowers, tie-downs, sand bags and entrance steps. It's best to know what you're getting for your dollars at the beginning of the process. So, ask!
* City Approval For Bounce Houses: Chances are you won't will need permission from the city hall for a bounce house at a private party or event. But, you might want to call downtown and ask to be certain. You can also call your local Better Business Bureau to ensure the company you're renting from has a great reputation.
* Talk About Safety: Before you allow your guests to play on a bounce house or inflatable rental it's important you know the safety rules that accompany the item. Talk with the rental company about how to keep guests safe. They should be happy to give you written or verbal instructions about safety rules.
* Be Certain The Inflatable Is In Great Condition: Since you most likely won't be able to view the inflatable you rent before it's actually delivered, it's very important you pay close attention to the item when it is set up at your event location. The professionals there to set it up should be sure to secure it to the ground properly with sand bags or tie down stakes. Point out any rips, tears to the rental company and never allow children to play in damaged inflatable bounce houses or on broken inflatable slides.
If renting a bounce house, also ask the rental company when they last cleaned it and how they did. If the company does not have a cleaning policy, don't risk the health of your child. Go with a company that sterlizes it!
