Getting in it can be tricky, but usually just involves a step stool. I can take a big step and then velcro myself in but my wife uses the step stool and we unhook the front clips and feed the bouncer through her legs. She then velcros herself in and I clip the front cords back on and shes good to bounce! I use 6-inch wide super strong 3M brand velcro so it wont slip but can easily be removed.
