Chad's Crappy Corner! The final gadget in Chad’s theme for June: Things that are inflatable.

And Chad’s Pick?

The Jump-O-Lene. Here’s what Amazon says about it: Made of heavy-duty vinyl for extra durability. Can be used indoor or outdoor. Doubles as a jump pit or ball pit. Provides great exercise while having fun. Built-in ledge for sitting or playing. 120 lb maximum weight limit - 2 children maximum. Dimensions are given as 80” X 27”. So I guess the diameter is 80” and the height is 27”. And what we found:

The Jump-O-Lene looked great on camera. I would have guessed it cost more than the $46 price on Amazon on 6/22/14. As far as play value goes, reviews on Amazon were pretty good. Out of 322 reviews it got 3.5 starts out of 5. But it really is for young kids who don’t weight a lot. Chad got in it, but with a weight limit of 120 pounds, he certainly couldn’t do any jumping. Padre SJ got in too (not with Chad) and said it sent his feet right to the floor. But of course, both are way over the weight limit. And when they say 120 pounds and two kids, I’m assuming it works best with no one body in the Jump-O-Lene is over 60 pounds or so.
