You have a party for your child coming up. You want to make it a massive celebration and invite the neighborhood, the kids from their class, and whatnot.
You want to make it special - you want a toy castle.
So, you head down to your retail store and head right into the party aisle to get what completes a perfect birthday party - a bouncy castle.
A bouncy castle is a perfect fit for kids of all ages. Even if your little one is between 1-6 years, you'll still want to have an indoor castle.
You don't think about it too much because you think it's going to be a massive celebration, and head on to the next items on your bucket list.
But you miss out on a single most crucial aspect - safety.
The castle you buy from your local retailer sounds like the easiest and the most convenient thing to do, but you forget about the repercussions.
They are not safe - you are potentially at risk of having a massive accident.
The last thing you want to see as a parent is your little one and their friends having an accident while they run around and have fun because it is a party - an environment filled with adrenaline and energy.
Be it indoors; you will have several kids running around and having fun. The last thing you want is an accident and ending up in the emergency unit.
Use this article to understand why we don't want you buy or hire a toy castle for your kid's special day off retail.
Setting up
The more minor problems are the problems you will face setting up. You'll most definitely find a challenge in getting your toy castle ready and how you want it to (at least what it shows on the box).
In reality, minute details are inscribed in these instruction manuals, and the chances are that you might be left with 75% of a castle. Sometimes, you might end up feeling like you've not got the right place in your home to set it up, or it could be in an unsafe place, inviting trouble to your side.
But in contrast, a commercial castle you will hire for a party could find you in a much more comfortable situation. A commercial setup for a party indoors comes with trained experts who assess the area and set it up correctly. These castles are different from the ones you'll see on the shelf and come with professionals to help you get up to speed in less than an hour.
You'll also not need to worry about vague instruction manuals that would take hours to figure out and set up.
Safety
Now to the critical bits - safety. Most of these castles get manufactured elsewhere, and they don't necessarily need to adhere to safety. The chances of a castle tearing away or getting trapped can be severe.
Falling from an unsafely installed bouncy castle and getting trapped inside can cause severe injuries such as broken bones, lacerations, and spinal injuries.
This might feel a little scary, but it is the reality of having an unsafe bouncy castle.
Commercially installed castles come with proper safety procedures and are bought from reputable manufacturers who have their focus on safety. These come with durable and strengthened material that allows more children to be present at one time without any strain.
Also, the castles that get installed mandatorily get Pipa tested every year. Like the crash test for cars, these castles take a beating to check for their strength, safety, and structure (yes, they exist).
If not, these do not get certified with the operational British Standard to be safe.
Insurance
Buy a bouncy castle, install and if there is an emergency (which we hope will not happen), insurance companies do not have any liability to help you out. These castles come with no guarantee, and you will not be compensated for any injuries or damages to your property. Especially if you are installing an indoor castle and there's a mishap, you will be left helpless.
We certainly don't want you to feel this way - on your kid's birthday (and we hope you won't).
While we try our best to keep the kids safe, it always feels good to be protected. That's where commercial castles help. All major castle providers (including us) provide insurance alongside the castles to know that the kids are in the safest hands when they play.
Be it a fatal emergency (which happens once in a blue moon); you will know that you and the kids are protected at all costs.
Don't take the fun out of the castles!
Castles are the epitome of enjoyment - they were created for a reason. Don't let a low-tier retail toy castle take away this excitement and bring you the worst nightmares.
Shelf castles are easy, convenient, and colorful on the outside.
Only on the outside.
On the contrary, commercial castles are made to last, installed by professionals, and are safest to use. Don't let the retail stores motivate you to buy something you regret.
Always go with the professionals when it comes to a commercial castle.
And they are not hard to find. We are in the business of making sure every kid has that magical birthday party they will remember forever.
We've got several theme-based castles to brighten up your space when it comes to indoor castles at Mini Bamboo Party hire. Give us a call for your requirement, and we will be more than happy to make the day extra-special
