Bounch!! By CoralRose on - Updated Sep 18, 2011
I bought this trampoline at Wal-Mart last year after much debate. Now that it is all said and done I am very pleased with it. My biggest fear was the kids safety, but they were warned ahead of time the first time they got out of hand it was gone! the safety nets works very well. It is 10 feet wide and has padding not only on top of the springs but on the aluminum rails for the safety net. It took us a few hours to assemble, the worst part and the most time consuming was the heavy duty springs. This is a smaller trampoline so no more than two people at a time can be on it, but because we have such a small yard it works out well. They do have larger ones at Wal-Mart for a bit more money, depending on the size of your yard and the amount you want to invest will decide the size trampoline that you will buy.
I am pleased with this in so many ways and honestly I thought it would be a nightmare to have. It motivates the kids to exercise and to be outside in the fresh air instead of playing a video game or playing on the computer and frying their brains. With a little education and rules a trampoline can be beneficial.

I have wanted to get one of these but feared for the same reasons. May concider one this summer now
My daughter use to love jumping on a trampoline. Thanks for all the information on this model.
We have the same trampoline and my kids loved it, I was worried how it would hold up in the weather and it still looks brand new after almost 3 years.
You are so right-your trampoline is great for exercise for the kids-they don't even realize that they're exercizing!!!
I loved my trampoline when I was a kid!!!
LOL, you sounds like me :0) We got a trampoline when my son was newborn and my husband's kids were 6 and 11. I would not let them get on together because there was an HUGE weight difference between the two and I was afraid for the smaller child's safety. They always told me I was way to strict...we don't have it anymore :0)
I always wanted a trampoline when I was a kid and the issue of safety never entered my mind ( hey, what kid thinks about safety right LOL). The older versions did not have the safety features then either.
I'm glad Donna pointed out the huge weight differences being a factor on these trampolines. My neighbors son broke his arm when his much bigger brother started bouncing on it with him. He got thrown off.
trampolines! What fun and good exercise!
Trampolines are really whole body exercise. With proper care they can be a great source of fun that is as safe as many common activities, such as bike riding or skateboarding.
