Idiots guide to buying trempoline

xyz123

Hi

Looking to get a trempoline four our 3 year old this summer. It goes in our smallish lawn at back.

Please someone can advise what to look for and any recommendations please..... Thanks.

First of all you want to look for trampolines, not trempolines!

next buy bigger than you think. Buy as big as you can afford as YOU will want to go on it...believe me. People may also find it funny to jump on it drunk, or in groups, so buy the highest weight one you can afford!

I bought a 10' trampoline for £100ish that will take a 100kg person which is about where the cheaper trampolines finish and the better quality ones take over and my 2.5 year old loves it.

I got it using tesco points and it was a jumpking one so I only ended up paying £20 odd quid!

Consider sinking it in the ground reduces the visual effect and is safer. http://littlegreenfingers.typepad.com/little_green_fingers/2009/02/how-to-create-a-sunken-trampoline.html

Same thing as bouncy castles, can be quite dangerous.

Idiots will injure themselves no matter what they do!

NO MORE THAN 1 PERSON ON A TRAMPOLINE AT A TIME!

Also get the ones where the netting is in past the springs.
