Advantages: Keeps you fit and alot of fun!!!!!
Disadvantages: kills ya after a while!!!!

...Trampolines are one of the greatest exersisers ever(i think!!!) i have one myself an 8ft one with a safety net which we use for my younger brothers to stop them falling off!!! they are quite high so if you have young children you would need a step to get up it!!!! The have metal legs which are in 'u' shapes with a plastic green/red/blue rim around the edge with a bouncy elastic netting for the middle. They come in different sizes from 8-18ft and come in very different price ranges. My trampoline cost second hand £250 with safety net and we brought it off of an internet site. There are lots of different moves you can do such as: half twist, full twist, tuck, pipe, stradle and seatdrop. i went to a trampolining club which is also very useful! if you were planning to do flips on a trampoline you would need bigger than a 8ft trampoline...

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 the hard work, total...

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 a rumage... Read review

Advantages: Great children's entertainment - and keeps the family fit!
Disadvantages: N/A

...I've taken my children to numerous playcentres and they always take a shine to the trampoline. I decided to get them one for Christmas as a joint main present. They are only two and three but as there's an enclosure I think this is more than suitable for them! Safety wise it's perfect because they simply won't be able to get on it without my presence. Kids love to run and jump around and burn off all that energy that they get from who-knows-where and there's no better way to encourage it than to buy them activity orientated toys like this. Not only that but the sheer size of this trampoline means they'll get many years out of it yet! Once they're in bed the adults get a go too. Now that's value for money!! I hunted around for not only a good price deal, but for a decent looking bit of equipment too. Some trampolines have enclosures... Read review

Advantages: 10ft!
Disadvantages: price

...This trampoline is perfect in almost every single way. I have always wanted a trampoline, so i know what great gift it would make for a family member. Obviously this trampoline will make you bounce , but it also has othr features such as the little ladder to give you and easy, safe way to access it. Also it has safety padding, which covers the metal edging, so that you won't hurt yourself if you land on the edge. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of this trampoline, one being it doesn't have the safety netting that some do which in the eyes of the parent of the child, is very important to make sure that the child does not fall off whilst bouncing - something that once happened to me and left a scar. I personally do not believe that this trampoline is worth £179.99. My reason being if you can afford to pay this much... Read review

...Anyone who has read my brothers first review will know that it is his trampoline that I am writing about! I did offer to help him re-write his but he unfortunately wasn’t interested and so I decided I would write a review on it myself. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Trampoline ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The trampoline was brought for my brother as a birthday present back in September. It had become a bit of a craze where we live to have one of these trampolines and so after persistent begging my dad ordered him one from Argos. The trampoline itself is 13ft in diameter (396cm) and 35inches in height (89cm). The framework is made from galvanised steel and is very robust. The jumping mat is high quality and made from black heavy-duty material, which has a white X, shape marked in the middle to indicate the safest spot to jump! The jumping mat... Read review

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

..., some in sports centres and some in purpose built gymnastics centres. For a while I also did a council run course on a Friday night where you sign up for about 8 weeks at a time. Most clubs offer beginners and/or adult courses, so you should initially contact your local council for details. I currently pay £4.00 per session for 1.5 hours. •• WHO CAN DO IT? •• Trampolining is an active sport that requires balance. I do get mild asthma but I am fine as I also do other exercise. Basically you should have at least a moderate level of fitness and not have any lower body joint problems or balance problems. There are no age restrictions. •• WHAT TO WEAR •• Reasonably loose or stretchy clothing should be worn. Tracksuit bottoms are ideal. If you are doing certain moves you are more likely... Read review

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… PRODUCT... Read review

...This is the second junior trampoline we have had from argos and that is because they are such good value for money,our first experience of this trampoline was when we bought my daughter it for her 3rd birthday all the kids loved it ranging from 1-8 years although it is recomended for children age 3-8 years or up to 35kg The junior trampoline comes in several different colours and it is just luck of the draw what colour you actually get, the one we had for my daughter was lilac metal bars with a green jumping mat,and for my sons it had a blue metal bars and a yellow jumping mat (very lucky). my son had his birthday last weekend and he turned 3, and he used to love playing on his sisters trampoline until about six months when the bungee cord that holds it all together finally gave in and snapped, this was a graduel proccess and took...
