Title says it all really, I want to buy a trampoline from argos for my children,with 100 pounds shell vouchers that we have earned (yaaay) and the rest i will pay. Its either going to be the 13 ft or 10 ft one. Obviously the 10 ft one is cheaper and i just wondered if these ones looked too small.? Does any-one have the 10ft one? My garden isnt that big so space wise it would be better to fit it in, any replies gratefully received.

Hi
I have an 8ft one with enclosure for my 4 year old which is ample for her and her friends, and doesn't take up much room.
I would say that a 10 ft would be ample for most children, how old are yours?
I really would advise an enclosure - A+E depts. are reportedly seeing high rates of injuries, apparantly Dr's in the US are asking for enclosures to be compulsory.

This is the one i intend on buying and it has an enclosure included. I read last year that a young boy died from serious head injuries and would never have one without.I am buying the trampoline for my youngest children who are nearly 8 and nearly 7. I suspect my teenagers will have a bounce now and again 2. I do have a 3 year old but dont think he will go on it yet.“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.

Its a great way to keep fit and more than big enough for us. I would recommend this one I have no complaints and it is very safe.Competitions wins 2010

Thanks to all that advised on the 10ft trampoline question. Ours came today and its just right. I am looking forward to seeing the kids get some exercise instead sat in front of the tv or computer.“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.
