Before buying an indoor trampoline for my children, I scoured the reviews on Amazon and elsewhere. None of the well-reviewed ones seemed to fit my needs and they all seemed to have the same complaints, so I figured I couldn't go too wrong by buying this product though I couldn't find any reviews online for it anywhere.So far it is working out very well for our family! We have had this trampoline set up for about 2 weeks, for my 2 and 4 year old girls.
First of all, the biggest complaint in the reviews about trampolines is that they are very difficult to put together. I did not put this one together- my husband did. He said it was tricky and time consuming, but not impossible. He did it alone. But he is handy- he built our whole bathroom from scratch with little help- and he is very strong. I heard him putting it together in the basement while I was upstairs, and he made quite a lot of noise banging around (no cursing though!).
The second consideration when buying a trampoline, is whether you want one with real springs or just elastic or whatever it is they use. The real springs give more bounce, but are more dangerous for little kids- you have to make sure the springs are completely covered up, and even then your kids could potentially bounce high enough to get hurt. I opted for real springs, which this trampoline has. Before I bought this trampoline my kids were jumping on the couch every day, and I couldn't get them to stop. They have a need to jump high. I knew if the trampoline wasn't bouncy enough they would go right back to the couch, which is probably more dangerous because it's higher off the ground and is next to lamps and stuff. Plus we don't want to have to replace our couch in 6 months. The springs are well covered on this trampoline, and my 4 year old gets really good air on this thing (kind of like the girl in the picture).
The next consideration is size. This one is kind of a mid-sized for an indoor trampoline- you can get smaller, and if you have a very small space you probably don't want this one. We took note of the dimensions and measured the space where we wanted to put it. It fits just fine in our kid's bedroom, which is where it lives. Part of the reason we didn't want a tiny one was that we knew our kids were going to fight over this thing, and this one is big enough for them to use at the same time. Yeah, that's not the safest thing in the world, and they still do fight over it (they like to use it alone), but at least 2 kids at once is an option.
I had no way of knowing whether this thing would be sturdy or not, because there were no reviews. My judgment: it's sturdy enough, though I know a few wild 4 1/2 year olds who would probably tip it over. When my 38 lb (and 42 inches tall) 4 year old jumps high and leans hard on the bar the back legs come up off the floor. I've told her that she cannot do that because it will flip over, and she stopped doing it. If your child is that big and lacks that kind of self-control you might not want this or any trampoline with a bar. My 2 year old is the wild one in the family, but she isn't heavy enough to flip it over. I'm hoping that by the time she gets that big she will be better at listening to reason, but you never know!
The bar is very sturdy, and my kids are constantly testing it- they like to hang from it upside down and practice their gymnastics moves. I know, it's probably dangerous.. but so far it hasn't shown any signs of wearing down or getting loose. I'll write an addendum to this review if that changes.
Overall, I recommend this product. You should read about the other options out there, and learn about some of the concerns & issues around buying a trampoline for your kids. There are safety concerns no matter which product you buy and how well made it is, but that is one of the trade-offs in life and it is up to you to decide which risks you want to take. I would personally rather risk injury than teach my kids to be afraid to try anything and to live in a bubble of TV and processed food snacks. But that's just me.
UPDATE: Now it is July, several months after first purchasing this product. It is still holding up well, and the kids still use it though not necessarily every day. I am glad that we got them this trampoline!
