I'm usually not one for following the rules, so my theory was this...... under 6's can have fun on a trampoline too, three at a time is more fun that just one -especially when it's raining! And regardless of age, the bigger the trampoline....... the better.
So this led to my recent purchase of a large square Springfree trampoline.
I have 3 small children ages 4, 3 and 2 and am always looking for new ways to amuse them. Our old trampoline was a small rectangular one with pads but no net. My heart was pounding every time I let them on it, and I was constantly running around the edge trying to predict which angle and with what speed the smallest one would fly off.
My 4 year old daughter perfectly summed up our new purchase: "We're inside an enormous toy".
Infact, this trampoline is so much fun and has a HUGE bounce, that I have already considered it to be my ongoing fitness and weight loss solution. I am also considering re-learning how to somersault on the trampoline just like I used to 30 years ago!
The trampoline was delivered very quickly. The overall quality is excellent. Although some of the rods were REALLY difficult to put in place, the sense of achievement at the end was great. My husband, who was initially not keen on the purchase due to cost has been completely transformed and is now really excited about it.
The overall safety is outstanding -just zip the kid(s) in and let them go... I am confident that there will be no significant injuries to my children as long as I am there to supervise, particularly when the kids dismount from the high ladder. Maintenance is so easy -leaves can be swept away from the mat with little effort. And if your back yard isn't perfectly level like ours- the trampoline seems to adjust beautifully.
