Justine, London

+ It's engaging and fun, with features that can be enjoyed together with friends and family or alone.

- The screen could be a little bigger and, indeed, simpler to see, esp. for the under-4's set.

+ good play value for my 3 and 6 year old. fairly easy to use and has 2 sound settings which is always a plus.

- quite difficult for the younger one to open plus there is a tendency to carry it around by the mouse with the laptop swinging...

+ Self contained and so no other bedding is needed, unless it's cold. Cover is washable. Easy to inflate and use. Kids love it!

- Because it's used on the floor, I feel another airbag across the feet to prevent draughts might be useful. Maybe different material quilt would be nice, polyester not my fave but good for money.
