Danish term or phrase: hoppepude
This is one of four words in a description of the attractions for kids at Bogense Campground. The others are
mooncarbane, tarzanbane and svaevebane. Since it's been a while since I was playing in a sandbox, I have no idea what they are.. and my searches so far haven't disclosed any pearls. Any help much appreciated.

Explanation:
'hoppepude' is a large inflatable bouncer. I tried to search for bouncing cushion, but only Danish sites seem to use that term, so I wouldn't use it. http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-2419-183BD68A-3A17330F-p... gives you a good description of what we call hoppepude in DK.

Thanks to all. I went with jump-o-lene after using your help to research further. I just couldn't bring myself to contribute to the use of a phrase like "bouncy pillow". Just couldn't. Thanks again for your help.
