Has anyone done anything to reinforce the kans to the ground to keep it steady when the frisbee hits it?Thanks!

This game is great on the beach! Get close to the water where the sand is damp and packed. Then you can shimmy the can into the sand. It'll hold it steady.

we tied rope around the cans then staked it down.. it didn't really work out so well. then later i found out at a local can jam tournament that there are rules in the book about the can falling over. so your not supposed to tie it down. a for instance is apparently if the disc goes in the top but the can falls over and the disc rolls back out of the top its considered a hit not a basket so its not worth three points. however i have used duck tape to make a little cross section inside the bottom and placed rocks on the duck tape so we could play on windy days and that seemed to work pretty well and it only cost like 3 bucks we tied rope around the cans then staked it down.. it didn't really work out so well. then later i found out at a local can jam tournament that there are rules in the book about the can falling over. so your not supposed to tie it down. a for instance is apparently if the disc goes in the top but the can falls over and the disc rolls back out of the top its considered a hit not a basket so its not worth three points. however i have used duck tape to make a little cross section inside the bottom and placed rocks on the duck tape so we could play on windy days and that seemed to work pretty... » Read More we tied rope around the cans then staked it down.. it didn't really work out so well. then later i found out at a local can jam tournament that there are rules in the book about the can falling over. so your not supposed to tie it down. a for instance is apparently if the disc goes in the top but the can falls over and the disc rolls back out of the top its considered a hit not a basket so its not worth three points. however i have used duck tape to make a little cross section inside the bottom and placed rocks on the duck tape so we could play on windy days and that seemed to work pretty well and it only cost like 3 bucks « Show Less

Same problem here. Great toy, but it sure is fragile. Maybe take to a Hobby Shop? Haven't done it yet.

Hi Amanda, I bought this product for my grandson & we haven't had any problems. We just give it a good hard shake & it goes. the harder & longer the shake the faster it goes. Maybe you should send it back & exchange it? Good luck. Danalee

My grandson has never knocked it over, and he really gets going! However, the jumper is sitting on carpet. I would tend to doubt that it would tip. It counterbalances well.

I have never knocked mine over. I have taken it to remolding job site and if it was going to happen , it would be there.lol Only wish they had it in a larger/taller size . Just the same I have purchased many as cool gifts sense I purchased mine . Very happy with it.

We have! It works--but it's low to the ground since the radian is so long. My son was still able to ride on it though.

The only time I use the anchors is outdoors and it's not so much for tipping over its to keep it in place. There are mulitiple times outdoors that I didnt anchor the bounce house down and all it does is move around not topple over. I also have used this a TON indoors. That was our main purpose for buying the bounce house. I just set it up in a corner ... It'll move around a bit depending on how many kids are playing and how big those kids are - but I've never once had it fall over. And I had 6 kids playing on it ranging from 2years old to 8.

I have tried rocks with no success - it keeps falling over. I basically have to apply advanced physics to figure out how to keep it up - ie balancing the weight of the clothes exactly. Really annoying.

I have one and I laid a piece of carpet in the bottom which helped give it some stability and keeps the balls from bouncing off the hard concrete. I like mine.

place it on a carpet or something to keep it open. i use it when i play bingo and its on carpet no problem.

Ours worked great until we crashed it way too many times. After that it would get more than about 6 inches off the ground. So if you have crashed it a bunch, that might be the reason why

I attach mine at the very top of the wall and run fleece bridges or stick perches a little underneath as my guys really enjoy climbing and jumping in. If you are concerned you can start it at the bottom, that way if they are not used to this type of wheel and happen to get pl overly excited and fall out, they have a place to land nearby :)

I have not experienced any bouncing, especially with the side arm up and secured (with the prop). I have really enjoyed it.

We did...once...my grandson had been pulling on the remote antenna wire...had to PUSH IT BACK DOWN in the unit!... it worked! Also, he's so rough with it that somehow he got the back wheel off track like a blown out tire!... the plane wobbled and wouldn't back up or run fast on the rug (after only two days of play!)...sooooo...ONCE AGAIN...his SugaMama became Mechanic Extraordinaure and put the tire back on the wheel and all is happy and rolling with the little guy! Good luck!

Be sure you have it completely seated in place. Mine doesn't bounce at all.

We've taken ours out into the yard for the kids to use, but only on very slightly uneven ground. Anything more than that and it would be unstable and prone to tipping.

We were thinking the same thing. Our son is 8, and can hop on it but not really bounce. We just got it for Christmas so we were thinking the same thing, that maybe if just needs to be broken in, that its new and tight. Plus he's at the bottom of the weight capacity, I wanted him to be able to use it for a while.
