No More Children Jumping On the Bed Or Couch
I bought this trampoline for my little grandson Cooper. He loves it! Cooper no longer has to jump on either the bed or the couch as he can now jump on his very own trampoline. He jumps on it every day and I believe that it is a good way for him to burn off all his extra energy especially when he is unable to get outside to play. We have one problem, it is often difficult to get him off of it!
When I was researching childrens' trampolines', I was amazed to find out that this Galt model trampoline was the only one that is safety approved by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) U.S.A. This one factor totally sold me. None of the other companies which make trampolines for children were safety approved.
This trampoline has a tough, weatherproof mat and the tubular steel is coated with a durable finish. For added protection, there is a padded cover that surrounds the mat which cushions the frame and it also prevents children from stepping through the bungee cord. Another great feature is the easy grip handle that aids in balancing the child.
One can use the trampoline indoors and outdoors. It is recommended for ages eighteen months up to seventy seven pounds. Not only is it great for developing gross motor skills but it is also great for children who have low muscle tone. It provides a safe way for them to exercise and gain balance. The most important feature I believe is that the trampoline encourages children at an early age to exercise and stay fit.
I love the trampoline as it does not take up a lot of space at all. If you happen to be limited on space, you can screw off the handle and fold up the legs in order to store it away easily. I am not sure your child will want it put away as they will have so much fun jumping up and down on it.
The Galt trampoline is a quality product which will provide hours of fun filled exercise for your child. I highly recommend the trampoline to parents of children who have excess energy which they may want to burn off. You will not regret this purchase!

This sounds like a really great way to get kids to think "fit". Even if they don't realize they are staying fit, they are having tons of fun. This is something on my list of things to get when it's time for kids.
The safety seal of approval convinced me. Even though mine are older, I can recall them playing fo hours on neighbors trampolines and coming home completely wiped out. It is a great cardio workout.
This is a great idea for the little ones to burn off their energy! Getting fit and having fun. I think it's great that it's small enough to be used indoors too. In Ohio we need to be able to do some activities that are inside. We get way too much snow to be jumping outside!
But Grandma Geri, it's more fun jumping on couches & beds!!! I've never heard of a trampoline that is both indoor/outdoor use-that's a huge selling point!! You're absolutely right-this is such a great workout for kids-I know that my little one jumps on one every day at school as part of his physical therapy!!!!
Sounds like a good trampoline. Your title had me humming the song 'no more monkeys jumping on the bed.' ;) Thanks for sharing your experience with this!
a trampoline is NOTHING like the bed....one is so much more taboo ;-)
This sounds like fun and great way to keep kids fit and entertained. I really like the price, for some reason I was under the impression that they cost a lot more. Thanks
This sounds awesome! All of my children have loved jumping on the bed at one time or another. This sounds like a great alternative.
Geri- I don't understand how large/small this is. Is it like a jogger tramp?
Sounds like a great product. How much space does it take up?
How cool! I would have loved to have a trampoline when I was a kid!
let them burn off their energy minus the dangers
I loved the sound of all of the features but was having a hard time picturing the trampoline since it sounded small but the price sounds kinda on the big size... soooo I was able to find this over at Amazon.com, if anyone is interested in seeing a picture. It is a smaller trampoline, like an adult exerciser but square and with a bar.
My daughter loves jumping on the bed. I'll have to consider one of these for her.
this osunds like just what my grandson needs!
I didn't realize trampolines had so many benefits.
This sounds like a great way to keep the kids from jumping on furniture.
Wow, I didnt know others were not made specifially for children. Thanks for sharing!
I did not know that they made this particular one that you speak of. We have a 14 foot outdoors one and the kids LOVE IT!!
I think safety and durability is two factors that I differ it from most of other brand. good choice
