Our Mission: Maximize the Fun!

At AIR FORT, we believe that bringing fun into the family household brings the family together. We pride ourselves in the quality of the Air Fort and as a toy that kids will play with for years to come. We believe, that for a fort to be played with often, it needs to be easy and convenient. The AIR FORT is the most convenient and easy fort available. Kids and adults everywhere absolutely love the AIR FORT and that's why we do it!

Additionally, parents have shared with us that fort making and play tents can be helpful for children with sensory issues or autism. There are not too many sensory toys for autistic children on the market today and if the AIR FORT can be a helpful toy for girls and boys with autism or other sensory issues, then we have done something extra good we can be proud of!

Greatest Kids Escape

How did you come up with the idea for this product?

When my dad was in 6th grade he got in big trouble for peeing in the neighbors’ pool. As his punishment he was put on restriction and that is when he built his very first AIR FORT! He used a sheet and weighted the perimeter with shoes and used safety pins to attach the sheet to a fan. When my dad and mom had my three sisters and me, he one day decided to pull out my mom’s old sewing machine and make us girls our very first AIR FORT. It was a HUGE hit!! We took it to friends’ houses and sleepovers, and everyone loved it! In 2015, after graduating from college, my dad and I sat down together and decided we wanted to go for it in making the AIR FORT a reality for everyone else! Here we are today!

What makes your product special?

The Air Fort has become the toy kids use to play with all their other toys. With an ordinary household appliance, a box fan, in seconds kids can create the coolest fort and play tent they’ve ever built. And when they are done, in seconds it stuffs into its own carrying bag ready for the next play date or sleepover!

What has been the best part of your startup experience?

The best part, by far, is being a father/daughter team. Getting to work together every day is not a challenge, it has drawn us even closer. Our motto has always been that if it’s not fun, we fix it! One of our favorite parts of creating the AIR FORT is seeing the excitement kids get when they play in the fort. We can’t wait for the day when we overhear a perfect stranger talking about the Air Fort, the kid’s toy we have been dreaming about creating our entire lives.
