Trampolines

Absolutely worth it! A larger trampoline doesn't only give you more surface to bounce on, it also lets you bounce a bit higher as the middle will go down further when you jump on it. If your girls are small this will make quite a difference as they don't have a lot of weight to get a smaller trampoline going.

Thanks everyone, I have resisted for so many years because of the fears of accidents, but they go on them at friends' houses.

Damn, I had kinda decided on 10ft and now my mind has been changed.

I did have a 12ft one for a while, but it was free from a friend with no net and it freaked me out.

I do have a big garden, but it did seem to take up quite a lot of it from what I remember.

We have a 10ft trampoline and we have 3 children. Ages 6, 9, and 13 and they all go on it fine. They have rules to be mindful of each other and have been using it now for over 18 months. We also thought about the 12ft size but so glad we chose the 10ft. Very happy with it.

That and a swing set were the best purchases ever for our children. Enjoy!

Thanks again. I think I will get the 10ft one. Just to have to figure out when to get it delivered so the girls don't see it and figure out how to build it. Was planning on it being a joint birthday present for them.

10ft is what we have and it's plenty big enough for 1 child. From experience I don't think a ladder is worth the money as it's only a small distance off the ground. The net is a good safety feature.
