Did anyone have an issue with the sides not holding the kids in, e.g. do the sides collapse outward if kids fall against them?

Occasionally, when there were four or five kids in there, one would bounce into a side wall, and it would give a little.

We have not had an issues with the sides not holding kids in--they do give a bit but it is a bounce house. Grandkids LOVE it.

We haven't had any problems. We typicallyv have 4 boys in it at a time (7 yr, 6 yr, and two 4 yr olds) and they can really push the bouncy to the limits. So far so good. We're totally impressed with the quality and size of the bouncy.

Yes, the sides do collapse. My son is seven and when he falls into the netting, the two closest pillars fall in. He gets up on his own or we push him back in. It does not affect the base. We have it anchored down with sand bags. The only risk is if you are using the moonbounce inside. Make sure there is nothing around that the kids could fall on and hurt themselves.

The sides Are secured by Velcro.... Probably not sturdy enough, but depends on your baby. My boys always worked their way around quickly (I moved my 6 week old out of the product). Maybe one without fold down sides?

I saw those issues posted too. I got mine anyway and did not have that problem. I love mine. Love! The legs have very shallow holes though. And anytime I move any piece, I move it with care. (someone lifting on both ends). Just in case I also put 3m soft stickers on the bottom of the legs as it is on hard wood floors and now if they get slid a bit one way or another I dont worry about having as much pressure on the legs.

I have not had any issues with mine, but I do not set it where it can get damaged and I have no children here.

Well the kids won't be able to hang on the bar of course but my 3 year old still hasn't broken it. It's fairly sturdy and as far as the sides go, they are installed the way they are in the picture. It's always open. Hope this helps!

No, it does not stay open with the sides upright. You can open it with the sides up but it falls very easily and does not stay up. It is flat when they are playing with the toys and then you pull the strings to close it when they are done playing.

Have you tried aggressively pulling up on the center of the bottom of the crib? I've had this issue with mine too, but it's usually resolved by pulling up on the bottom (fairly high) and then latching the side. Kind of a weird mechanism.

I don't feels it supports my child enough I want to stick bean bags or weights around the outside to stable it as my 11 month old can drag it and I worry about it collapsing

my toddler climbs on it and if lids are closed it won't collapse.But she opens the lids a lot, then when she tries to climb it just collapses instead of letting her climb.

A little late but posting in case someone else could benefit. We discovered that ours fall out when my kids spark when going in reverse. They had to train themselves to not spark unless they are moving forward. Not the perfect design but my kids love these things.

I'm pretty sure they don't (not at home to test it). They fold from the sides if I remember and there is a piece that allows them to stay open upright because the stiff bottom keeps the sides open. If you didn't have that to keep the sides open, they would collapse again. I can verify when I get home if you feel you want me to make sure but I'd argue no given what I remember about setting them up.

I've had 2 of them a little less than a year and they have held up to 3 adults and my 6 grandkids. Now mind you the kids are not jumping up and down on them and all that. I am very happy with mine, and would recommend to anyone.

About three young kids can get in it without problem, however if one child moves against the net(side) it kinda deflates

I used the tube several times over the last few weeks. Didn't notice any holes on the bottom. However it did go under a few times. The problem was when the kids would lean forward in the tube. If they layed back we were fine. There has to be weight in the back. At least that has been my experience so far. We absolutely love this tube. Good luck.

I've got smaller ones and they're wobbly and stacking one on top of the other sucks and I'm not doing it - they'll just slowly collapse. What I've done that has taken care of the problem is just put a board on top of the two bottom containers and then stack another on top of the board - we have three total so that has worked for us. The second row weight distributes via that board across the entire bottom two storage units instead of just the four points that then get squished over time and begin to collapse. The board has prevented any collapse - no worriess. I put the heavier content ones on the bottom and the lighter on top but there isn't that much difference really. So a board works. I'd stick another container on top and be comfortable with that. Now I would never stack over two rows with my board solution though. What I would do is still purchase these containers because they are pretty cool for what we need them to do, and I would purchase some concrete building blocks (pretty cheap although somewhat heavy). Then I would put one concrete block on top of another and once I got above the height of the first row storage then place a board on the concrete blocks. Then do the same on top of that second row I just made to get to a third row. That way all weight from any of the two upper rows of storage boxes is transferred to the board and the concrete blocks and the first row is on the ground so no problems. Hope that helps. =P

The sides are hard and will not collapse. My cats love these. My cats get on top of them and my "fat cats" do not collapse the beds.

No. That's the only thing I have an issue with. That said, they are on an angle, so when properly placed, they do not collapse
