Trampoline - Top Toddler Toy!

Advantages: Great exercise for little legs, lightweight, sturdy, lots of fun!
Disadvantages: None.

...My daughter was one on 1st June and I can honestly say that there is not one toy that she does not play with or that we wish she had not have got. Karys (my daughter) loves to bounce. As soon as her legs were strong enough for her to push on them - she bounced. We bought her a door bouncer which she used daily from 5 months old and loved it. So when it came to her first birthday I searched around for a suitable trampoline. The bog standard junior trampolines that have the handle on were quite pricey but also impossible for Karys to get on and off on her own as she is not quite walking unaided just yet. Also these type of trampolines usually state they are for 3 years up which was no good at all. Then I hit the jackpot whilst creating Karys' birthday wish list on the Early Learning Centre website and here my story continues...

Review of ELC My First Trampoline

8FT TRAMPOLINE WITH ENCLOSURE

Advantages: great fun, good way to exersice,
Disadvantages: you have to fight the kids off

...As you may have noticed by the title, i am reviewing the 8ft trampoline with enclosure. Which looks different from the one pictured ( but looks nice) and is smaller, but i will get round to that later. PACKAGING : This trampoline and enclosure come in the same box which is about 5ft x 2ft x 1ft and is a rectangle shape. the packaging is quite plain as it is a large cardboard box, with a big sticker on it showing the trampoline and the name of maker. I will add the box is very heavy, i had to have my partner pick it up for me as there was no way i could have lifted it by myself. So if you are a single mum and you want to pick it up, it would be easier if you had someone to help, also i dont think the box will fit into small cars, exspecially with the kids in the back. SETTING IT UP : When you have opened the box, if you have...

Review of Sky High Trampoline

Trampoline - Fun for all

Advantages: Hours of endless fun and not just for the wee ones
Disadvantages: When the weather is bad

...The reason we decided to buy this trampoline is because my youngest son never asks for anything really expensive for birthday or christmas presents and we thought this would make the perfect birthday present. The trampoline was bought for his last birthday (July 2007), he was delighted, all my kids have had hours of fun and the added bonus is that they are out playing and I know they are safe. We bought the trampoline from Woolworths, it cost around £125 (approx) It came in two large cardboard packages. Whats in the box ? 6 pieces - upper frame tube with foam 6 pieces - lower frame tube with foam 6 pieces - cap blue and green 12 pieces - screws 12 pieces - screw cover 5 pieces - cord 96" 6 pieces - cord 120" 1 instruction manual When assembling it was quite easy but it does take two people, however hubby did all...

Review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure

Is this a good trampoline?

Advantages: fun and provides exercise
Disadvantages: Takes up a lot of garden space

...These trampolines are great for the summer especially young children. They have a lot of energy and so spend a lot of time on a trampoline.The safety net is a must as you can bounce pretty high. This trampoline is good for safety. Other games can be played on it making it a safe environment for fun activities. They last a long time and survive getting wet, although should be covered with a mat. All in all I would recommend this as a cheap,safe,fun product that provides hours of entertainment for all the family. It is also good for exercise, in a world where people are getting increasingly bigger, a trampoline is a fun way to incorporate exercise into a childs daily lifestyle without them really realising. It's great for parties and can also be used to camp on or for sunbathing (past experience)....

Review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure

Rebo 10 foot trampoline

Advantages: Looks good and does build easily
Disadvantages: enstructions can be confussing, parts missing and broke

...We bought a Rebo Trampoline for my sons 7th birthday. All in with shipping price was just £119.90 with safty enclosure. it was at the door 3 working days after ordering from the net. It came in 2 large boxes and was packed well. I know that when you get something from the internet you should always check the parts. I did not and to my horror when i come to the end of building and only the ladders to put i noticed there was 2 parts missing and 1 part broke, the parts are all for the ladder. BUILDING :- The instructions can be a bit fuzzy in my opinion. As they are trying to tell people how to build all the trampolines on offer, from 6 foot right up to 16 foot. Once you have filtered out what you are needing to carry on it does seem to get very easy to build. If you stick to what it says on the instruction sheet then you will be...

Review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure

tp Sovereign Series Emperor Trampoline

Advantages: Easy to build, well made and great fun.
Disadvantages: See text!

...What do you do with an energy filled 5 year old? Buy him a trampoline to bounce it all out on. You want more? OK. tp do a large range of climbing frames, trampolines and all manner of accessories for keeping kids amused in the garden. They have a great full colour catalogue which covers everything in detail with sizes, part numbers and recommendations. Having decided to buy a trampoline, tp was our first port of call having already bought one of their climbing frames and been impressed by the ease of build and general quality. We picked up a catalogue from John Lewis/Waitrose and after checking sizes, placed an order for a medium sized one which arrived a few days later. Putting it together is very straightforward. Some fairly chunky but lightweight metalwork needs to be slotted together to act as the base and main ring. This...

Review of Toys 'R' Us Junior Trampoline

Fancy a bounce with me

Advantages: A good way of keeping fit, burning calories and improving balance
Disadvantages: You can get hurt if you mess around

...Of course I could only be talking about my favourite sporting hobby, trampolining – what did you think I was talking about? I grew up in Hastings and as a kid, loved playing on the seafront trampolines, but it got quite expensive if you wanted to have a go for half an hour every summer day. In the end my friend Jayne and I (Dodger on Ciao) used to visit the trampolines late at night after a session washing up at a restaurant, and remove the barbed wire covers. We could be seen practicing somersaults up to about 11.00 at night at the age of 13, such fun! At age 19, I moved to Bucks, which is not exactly known for it beaches, so my trampolining stopped as I assumed there would be nowhere I could continue. How wrong I was. •• WHERE CAN YOU DO IT? •• There are a number of trampolining clubs in my...

Review of Trampolining - General

Straddling The Tramp

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

...When I arrived at UMIST last September I was delighted to find that they had a trampolining club, albeit one run by Manchester University. Still, we were all invited and since it was free I managed to drag a number of my friends along to their trial session. They had t-shirts which read “We straddle for Manchester” which we all found highly amusing as you can imagine. They also advertised themselves by saying “Can you perform 10 positions on a bed in less than a minute? We can” or words to that effect. Hhmm, were they trying to gain members by using suggestive adverts which they knew would appeal to mad, up-for-it students ? I got started with trampolining back in primary school when I was at a gymnastics class and for a treat we got a go on the huge trampoline that had appeared in the corner of the gym...
