I decided on this instead of a swing set.  My kids love to bounce way more than swing, and they love this thing.  I finally settled on this one because the pictures made it seem that there was a bit of a bounce area and the climb up the slide.  However, the bounce area is divided in half by tubes that you crawl under or over.  I thought the kids might be disappointed that there is no dedicated bounce space, but they say they like it better this way.  Of course if you have just one child around there is plenty of room to bounce, but with a few kids running through it, a child trying to bounce in one place would probably get knocked down.  Like other reviewers, we have not tried the water option yet, but hope to soon.  But so far so good.  Even without the water option I’m happy with this.  I also like that it came with a blower, and I want to mention the nice patch kit that was included.
